Topic: Watercolor Landscapes with Gail Glagola
Immerse yourself in the beauty of nature in this exciting watercolor workshop, where we’ll draw creative energy from special ZMA exhibition: Howard Chandler Christy: The Landscapes from the Trembly Family Collection, on view beginning October 23.
While best known for his “Christy Girls”, this local artist also created landscapes throughout his career inspired by the scenery of the Muskingum River near his home and his travels. This exhibition is a rare opportunity to see several of these works together, demonstrating the variety of techniques Christy used to capture light, color, and atmosphere.
Whether you’re a beginner or seasoned painter, this hands-on experience will guide you through techniques to capture the elegance and emotion of the natural world—just as Christy did.
We encourage you to bring reference photographs of inspiring landscapes from your hometown or travels.
Workshop fee: $100
Special Member Price: $50
Gail is a retired New York State art teacher who loves to weave and paint. Recent paintings have been shown at the Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum in Coshocton, John McIntire Library, and The Works in Newark, Oh. Her weavings were the subject of a one-artist show at the John McIntire Library in Zanesville. Teaching remains a favorite and Gail sought out classes at the Zanesville Museum of Art to keep connecting with students young and “experienced”. After several years the museum asked her to join them as the Educational Assistant and a member of the newest Docent class.
