Celebrate summer with plein-air painting and sketching

Hello Art Friends,

Summer is here! Let's celebrate with some plein-air painting and sketching. We will be having paint-outs on Tuesday mornings starting 5/27 at 9 am (we know that is tomorrow and sorry for the short notice) behind the Eye Clinic, 800 N 1st St. Park on the lower back side of the clinic near the river walk. Not sure about painting, then bring your sketchbook and drawing tools. It's all for fun and a great opportunity to get out, work from life, and meet other artists. 

A schedule for June will be coming out later this week. Besides Tuesdays, it will also include several Saturday dates. In the meantime, if you know of some painting locations, leave a comment below and we will get them on the list. Please feel free to share this info with others you think may be interested. Thanks everyone!

Classes and Workshops at Muse Arts and Crafts School in Manitowish Waters

A Day With A Birch-bark Canoe Maker June 28 Spend the day with a canoe maker and experience the intrigue of preparing to make a birch bark canoe. Birch bark canoe materials can be sustainably harvested from the forest and this class will take you into the woods to find birch bark, cedar, and the roots needed to make your own canoe. For anyone considering making a birch bark canoe, this class is an excellent introduction to the trade. Taught by the nationally acclaimed master canoe maker Ferdy Goode. See Class Information

Photography- High Dynamic Range Imaging June 6 We start with basic photography overview and talk about different types of cameras and how to make full use of their capabilities. The second half of this class will focus on High Dynamic Range Imaging (HDRI or HDR) which is a set of methods used in photography to allow a greater dynamic range  between the lightest and darkest areas of an image than current standard digital imaging methods or photographic methods. In simpler terms, HDR compensates for the loss of detail by taking multiple pictures at different exposure levels and intelligently stitching them together to produce a picture that is representative in both dark and bright areas. Photography- Photoshop Elements June 7 Adobe Photoshop Elements is the consumer-based version of the popular Photoshop program that allows you to store, sort, and edit images and photographs. Photography enthusiasts will love Elements ability to organize images and create albums. Photoshop lovers will love the wide range of features that allow you to edit and manipulate images just as you would in Photoshop. Since Elements was designed with the consumer in mind, editing and manipulating photos with Elements is much easier than with Photoshop. Users get three editing modes to choose from based on their ability and the task they wish to complete. Where the Quick editing mode is more for beginners, the Guided and Expert editing modes give you the power of Photoshop behind you so that you can edit and manipulate images like a pro. Elements is ideal for any budding photography enthusiast, home user with photos they want to organize or edit, or for anyone wishing to do basic photo manipulation or graphic arts. In this course, you'll learn your way around the latest version of Photoshop Elements to make navigating it a breeze. You'll also learn all the features and how to utilize the options so that editing, organizing, and sharing your photos is quick and fun.   See Class Information

You could call me a “Foodie” long before the current term became popular. Blessed with great cooks for parents and an appetite for pure and natural flavors from scratch, food and cooking has been my passion for over 40 years. As a previous cooking instructor through Nicolet College, I enjoyed sharing my knowledge and passion with a variety of students of all ages and experiences, from beginner to advanced. In addition to teaching, I also wrote a food column for a local newspaper for several years. It is my pleasure to share all that I have learned to help you cook with confidence, creativity and enjoyment.
