Photographing Reflections

Photographing Reflections

Saturday 22 March
Shelby Farms Park - 10am - 2 Hours
Memphis Photography Club
D'Angelo Connell
We will be using natural water reflections and seeking out man-made reflective surfaces in the area to explore how we can use reflections to add depth and intrigue to our images. Reflections can help us to show our subject from an unusual, or from multiple, points of view. We can use reflections to abstract our subject or to make perfect mirror images. We'll even have a look at how we can create our own reflections when there are none around.

Speed Landscape Drawing and Painting

Speed Landscape Drawing and Painting

Saturday 29 March
Shelby Farms - 10am - 1 Hours
Memphis Art Group
Kevin Leonard
The focus of this two-hour structured session is "speed" and "form", i.e. capturing the essence of a subject. You will be guided to complete some "warm-up" colour and drawing exercises and prepared for doing ink and watercolour-based painting in the session. You will learn how to quickly sketch and capture multiple subjects in the garden with ink and wash technique. You will be advised to keep things rather loose and time your drawing/painting. You will have a chance to meet and greet like-minded people, choose your own subjects in the garden and be guided to complete the exercises, and artwork and have some takeaway homework with the learned technique. All levels and experiences are welcome.

Note:
- Please bring a portable chair for comfort during the session.
- A clipboard is recommended to provide a sturdy surface for your papers.

REVIEWS
The event location was incredible. I loved having the class overlooking the Mississippi River. greeted us warmly and came prepared with easels, extra paints, brushes, and mixing pallets. He guided us to sketch the view and helped us pick out the appropriate colors for our painting. He gave us the time to independently work on our projects with his guidance. His suggestions and encouragement were perfect. We left with a new interest and love of painting.

I love pouring watercolor paints. I poured this and it practically painted itself in no time. I added mulberry leaves that were embedded in some handmade paper I had. That extraction was painfully slow and probably contributed to the naming of this piece!

Title or Location: Transparency Floral in Collierville TN
I am a beginner painter, just started June 2024 and after one month of practicing different types of techniques, I decided to try this transparency painting. I have never painted and love watching watercolor painting videos. So, I decide to invest in watercolor materials and give it a try. I was fascinated by how the layers of flower petals could be seen behind each petal and wondered if I could create such an image. Plus, I wanted to try the background wash technique as well. Each day I pai

Title or Location: Wild Carrots At Dusk
I named this watercolor "Wild Carrot At Dusk" (18"x14.25") I wanted to capture the sun setting on some Wild Carrots or Dacus Carota you probably call it Queen Anne's Lace. This painting is part of a series where I am working to feature everyday things in our environment to celebrate them and have the viewer look closer at their glory. Therefore I use beautiful colors and knockout textures to bring out the beauty in nature, hopefully making you look twice. The symbolism of this wild flower is san

I painted this to commemorate an amazing mentor. - my college philosophy professor. This is actually Nietzsche, someone he deeply admired. Since I admired my professor, it seemed fitting to paint this in his memory. He passed away after I graduated, but his impact on my college education stayed with me forever.
