Call 674-2007 to make reservations for the matinees. Call this same number to reserve a place at the workshops. Children are welcome at all Sunday events if they are old enough to participate. Families are always welcome to view the art in our Gallery every Sunday from 1-4 pm.

December 7. Workshop: Drawing with pencil. 1:30 pm. Free

"Light For The Artist": A workshop based on direct observation of the behavior of light, using only pencil and paper to convey your vision. If you understand what you see, you can easily learn how to draw your vision, using just a 4B pencil and paper. And this simple exercise can be transferred to landscape or portraits, as well. Knowing how to look is your key to success.

Constance Alexander has received many awards in Albany Group Shows as well as being juried into The Hudson Mohawk Regional, The Pruyn House Show, and The Hagaman Exhibit. She is currently the resident artist at Historic Eastfield Village for her series of pastels of 18th century life. Many of her paintings are in private collections and the Troy County Courthouse. Her prints are available at "Everybody's Cafe" in East Greenbush. You may visit her at Golden Pond Studio in East Greenbush, NY, 528-286-3779., or e-mail her at c.j.alex@mindspring.com. View her artwork during this workshop. Her SLCA gallery show will be hanging from November 16th until December 31st.
