The Cody Country Art League is inviting community members to cure the winter blahs by taking advantage of the league’s upcoming classes.
“Whether you’re a beginner or more advanced artist, there’s something for everyone,” the league says, with class sizes remaining small to accommodate for adequate social distancing.
On Saturday, CCAL member Paul Kethley is teaching an oil painting class for intermediate to advanced painters, titled, Rendering Outdoor Scenes. A master paint applicator, Kethley is a professional, award-winning Western artist. From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., he will teach students how to apply palette knife techniques mixed with minimal brush techniques in their paintings. The cost of the class is $95 ($85.50 for members).
Next week, because drawing is such an important foundation to artwork, retired Northwest College art instructor John Giarrizzo will offer Intro to Observational Drawing. This class is from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Feb. 13. Giarrizzo will teach students how to draw what they see, not what they know, using light as the subject. The cost is $45 ($40.50 for members.)
Giarrizzo will also lead the next monthly Life Drawing Session, from 6-8:30 p.m. on Thursday, Feb 18. Attendees will practice drawing the human figure using a live model. Giarrizzo will begin with a progression of short gesture drawings leading into longer poses by the model. The session costs $20 ($18 for members).
Then on Saturday, Feb. 20, decorative folk art expert Sally Holberg will offer Introduction to Norwegian Rosemaling. Holberg specializes in assisting students with artistic heritage designs and techniques that enhance homes with painted accessories that are original touches of old world art. From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., participants will paint a Telemark cheeseboard and key chain. The cost is $60 ($54 for members).
More dates will be announced for classes in mosaics, stained glass, alcohol inks as well as a master class with Buffalo Bill Show artist M.C. (Mike) Poulsen. Call 307-587-3597 or stop by Cody Country Art League for more information or to sign up. CCAL is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and is located next to the visitor’s center at 836 Sheridan Ave., downtown Cody.
