Botanical Drawing: Fall Treasures
Current registered participants can view prior recorded demonstrations and Zoom sessions at Hoff-Online

The online seminar will be a mix of presentation, demonstration, and drawing alongside the instructor. We will share the PDF presentation and the video recorded from the workshop with participants on Hoff-Online. Current participants will have access to prior 2022 online class materials and videos during the month they are registered for a class.

Fall is the season of warm and vibrant colors and unusual patterns on leaves. In this workshop, we will capture the changing colors of the season and various patterns by drawing fall foliage. We will work with color pencils and focus on blending various colors as well as depicting veins on leaves. The workshop will include a presentation of Dorota’s botanical drawings of fall foliage, step-by-step examples, a demonstration of how to approach drawing from observation and various colored pencils techniques, and a time to draw together. Feel free to work in your sketchbook, toned paper, or any surface of your choice. Although drawing in realistic form will be the focus, individual styles will be encouraged and celebrated.

MATERIALS: Gather a few samples of fall foliage or other early fall plants. It is preferred to use live specimens overworking
from photographs.

The Hoffman Center for the Arts in Manzanita
will offer Beginning Plein Air Landscape Painting
a 4-day painting workshop

This will be a beginning painting workshop focused on painting the coastal landscape from direct observation, our own experience in the open air. Nothing is quite as exhilarating as meeting our experience with our eyes and hands in paint on a small rectangle. It is also quite complex, so some guidance is a good idea. We will learn about the materials and gear (paints, brushes, palette, and the plein air easel). Also, importantly: composition, color, paint mixing and handling, palette management, and the stages of building up a painting.

With this workshop you will have a firm foundation in the essentials of painting, and of painting the landscape en plein air. Plein air is simply French for “outdoors,” literally “full air” or “in the open air.” It has recently been taken to be a style. I don’t see it as a style. I don’t actually care about styles. I do care about authenticity. Each painter paints as they see and feel. The more comfortable they become with the materials and their process, the more freely their feeling and vision can show up in their paintings. And that’s magic.

Jef Gunn was born in Seattle in 1955 and grew up along the West Coast from Puget Sound to southern California to Hawaii. He studied drawing and painting in California through the 1970s, held residencies in Barcelona and Paris in the 1980s, and since the mid 1990s has engaged in a passionate study of Asian art. In 2005, Gunn completed a BFA in painting from Marylhurst University. He lives and works in Portland, Oregon, where he teaches painting workshops at Sitka Center for Art and Ecology, and through First Light Studio, his own Portland-based studio.

With a balance of humor, broad knowledge, and helpful insight, he is able to draw from each student her or his own natural way to paint, while bringing to bear practical instruction through historical examples, especially of the Modern period. A complete materials list will be sent to students when they register.

Yellow Radio program is neighbors using small walkie-talkie type radios to communicate locally within their neighborhoods. Yellow Radios will allow neighbors to communicate about news, needs, and available local resources.

Communication is one of the most important components of emergency preparedness and response. In many emergencies, especially a major earthquake and tsunami like the anticipated Cascadia Subduction Zone event, usual communication pathways like landlines, cell phones, and the internet will be unavailable.

Register for a Yellow Radio class where you will learn how to operate your radio and communicate effectively in your neighborhood. Classes are also a great way to refresh your skills.

Artwork will be available for sale in a variety of art forms, created by 15 local area artists, some who have shown their work every year since 1993, others who are new to the festival. Participating artists are: Michael and Linda Soeby (pottery), Lynne Wintermute (oil and cold wax painting), Bill Cary (pottery), Arlon Gilliland (painting and masks), Dana Hulburt (acrylic painting on birch panels), Victor Guschov (painting), Barb Haddad (ceramics), Alita Pearl (silver jewelry and leather), Danelle Jones (nature illustration), Karen Gelbard (handwoven apparel), Kent and Nancy Searles (lapidary, wire wrapping, ceramics), Merrie Jo Snow (painting and prints), Nancy McEwen (painting), Kelly Howard (blown glass), and Mark Cavatorta (ceramics).

3 Leg Torso formed in 1996 as a violin, cello and accordion trio with the mission of creating modern chamber music for their unique instrumentation.

Over the following years, the ensemble, now a quartet, have been performing original compositions based on an eclectic mix of chamber music, tango, klezmer, Latin, and Roma (Gypsy) music.

As principal composers, founding members Béla R. Balogh (violin, trumpet, octave mandolin) and Courtney Von Drehle (accordion, saxophone) provide the core of 3 Leg Torso’s sound. They will be joined by unique musicians T.J.Arko and Bill Athens.

3 Leg Torso’s international reputation includes composing music for a United Nations documentary in Thailand, recording music for Deutsche Komtel in Germany and providing theme music for a Bosnian television series.

This will be their long awaited second appearance at NCRD.
3 Leg Torso is a great show for the family!
Children under 12 will be admitted for free!

About the Artists:

Pam Greene:

My daily life looks west to the Pacific. The background roar is a soundtrack of increasing and decreasing volume in step with the magnitude of tidal force. These paintings hold within them my experiences as an artist on the edge of the ocean.

The arrival and retreat of the sea is as predictable as clockwork, and yet unknowable in final form. The hypnotic shoreward surge rearranges itself into sets, no two ever the same.

There are days with green and blue waves, (more than a few) gray days, aqua and mint days, and precious, spectacular days of turquoise, emerald, sapphire and gold. There are days when the depths are concealed by reflections of the sky above, and days of transparency.

The waves leave behind a sculpted landscape of quiet pools, windows into the world of mysterious life below.

Each day the shoreline is restored, and for those who love the ocean, we are restored as well.

With an MFA in art and design from Stanford, and an undergraduate degree in botany, I am a perpetual observer of nature’s inspiring forms. I learned to paint in oils in the early 70’s, and have been painting ever since. In 1988 I moved to Oregon, where my visual perceptions were further shaped by a 30-year career of shoe design and innovation at Nike. I’ve been painting Central Oregon and the Oregon Coast professionally since 1994.

As an innovator, I approach each painting as something of an experiment. I like to be surprised as the composition emerges, and create balance with distilled, delineated shapes using brushstrokes aiming to capture nature’s spontaneity. The resulting pieces have a graphic quality with influences from my many years of travel to East Asia, and study of East Asian art.

My work is represented in private collections nationally and internationally, and available through the Portland Art Museum’s Rental Sales gallery. rentalsalesgallery.com/

MJ Anderson:

I create sculpture in collaboration with marble, carving a material that once was alive under the sea. Ancient coral reefs and bones from ocean creatures accumulated over millennia on the bottom of changing seas. With geologic shifts and the weight of time, these deposits were highly compressed under extreme heat and pressure and thrust upwards into marble mountains. The quarrying process cuts open these mountains to expose the history of our planet. My marble is from Carrara, Italy – where I have worked for 40 years, bringing sculptures to fruition in my studios both in Carrara and on the Oregon Coast.
