Following the sold-out success of our May premiere with Juliet Yänko, the “Tiny Stacks Concert Series” is gearing up for its next “tiny” event.

Join us on July 21 for the second concert of Cloud & Leaf’s inaugural season. Hosted by Holly Lorincz and presented in partnership with the North Coast Creative Forum, the evening features Deb Montgomery alongside friends Jesse Clark, Shannon Steele and Will Irace. Tickets are highly recommended in advance.

If you’re a fan of NPR’s “Tiny Desk” series, you’ll be in for a local treat. “Tiny Stacks” is built around the same spirit: talented musicians performing up close, for a small audience, in a warm and intimate setting. It’s a chance to hear great music in a way that feels personal, relaxed, and rooted in community.

Performances run from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM.

Space is limited for this special event. Tickets can be reserved online at:

www.tinystacksmusic.com

You may also use the QR Code listed on the poster for this announcement to reserve tickets.

Come support Deb & Friends, as well as the other artists who are lined up for this world-class music series coming this year. Hope to see you there!

This workshop is designed to teach students skills that help them both find a likeness and create energized, colorful depictions of faces and torsos with layered color.

We will find and develop a likeness, learning what to look for and how to lay it down. We’ll go through each of the facial features. You’ll be given both demonstrations and handouts. We will learn brush handling skills that are essential when layering color: how to pick up pigment and what part of the brush to use to lay it down.

We will also cover how to use your fingers, wrist, elbow, and shoulder when painting to help develop skills needed to create both loose and exacting aspects of a layered depiction.

Class will begin with a short discussion on how and what to observe. We’ll do some basic brush techniques exercises, then students will be led through a step by step exercise on how to build your subject using ,at first, a limited palette.

After lunch, we will begin working individually using the skills and approach already learned with further demonstrations and personalized instruction provided as needed.

Tickets are $90.
Scholarships are available!
