Pot Luck Reception: Thursday, July 11, 6:30-8:30pm
The special invitational exhibit, on view from July 11 through August 25, features the award winners from The Art Guild’s exhibitions from September 2018-June 2019.
Artists who have won awards (first, second, third and honorable mentions) in exhibits between September 2018 and June 2019 may drop off artwork on the following days:
The work may be new (it won’t count as “previously exhibited at The Art Guild” for future exhibits) or may have been shown at The Art Guild in the past. Artwork should be no bigger than 36” in any direction.
More details to be announced.
In this intro course, students will learn the fundamentals to get started in this exciting medium as well as the proper tools and techniques needed to create artwork ranging in appearance from that of an illustration – to obtaining a sheen of an oil painting.
We will cover choosing the right paper surface, working on toned backgrounds, mark-making, color-mixing, working from a limited palette, creating washes with solvent – and more!
Class will include lecture, sketchbook tutorials and a teacher-guided still life to tie it all together. Great for those looking to refresh their colored pencil skills as well as those new to the medium. Some prior drawing experience is recommended.

Jill Velasco is an exhibiting Artist, Graphic Designer and Educator with a BFA in Graphic Design and an MS in Visual Arts Education. For over ten years, Jill has taught fine art classes in both schools and studios throughout Long Island to both children and adults of all levels.
In addition to teaching workshops, creating both digital and fine art for clients, she currently moderates and mentors colored pencil enthusiasts via social media for the publication Colored Pencil Magazine. While graphic design work requires precision through technology to complete things like logos, vehicle wraps and rebranding of corporate identity, her drawings and paintings take a departure from the commercial to capture nature and moments of the everyday. Colored pencil, pastel and acrylic paint are the featured media in her portraits, botanical and wildlife art.
Jill is a proud member of the Colored Pencil Society of America, American Society of Botanical Artists, Westbury Arts Council and The Art Guild of Port Washington. 
An exhibit celebrating the creative spirit nurtured at The Art Guild by artists of all ages – from 5 years old to adults and their instructors. Friends and families are invited to the reception.
