Wine Color with Chester Kasnowski

You’ve heard of watercolor, now here is winecolor! A fun workshop using only wine to do a painting. The serious aspect is that it’s a great way to practice the art element Value (the difference between light and dark). Students learn the importance of value with this workshop. Two vessels are needed, a wine glass and an ugly cup. One for sipping and the other for dipping the brush. The last part of the class will be a critique of student works and the sipping wine part. Cheese provided but you can’t draw with it. Minimum 6/Maximum 12 students.  Download a materials list HERE.

Chester Kasnowski trained in traditional art practices and theories, has always embraced and practiced contemporary art movements that showed promise and hope in adding to tradition. He has excelled in and exhibited conceptual art, computer art, and video art during 1970-1985. Returning to his roots in painting, he now produces and exhibits highly charged visual works that speak of values found in the visual world, art history, and arts future based on strong foundations. Kasnowski earned degrees from the Dayton Art Institute and Tulane University. He has taught art for more than thirty years, lectured, written art reviews, given workshops, and was a curator of education at the New Orleans Museum of Art. He has received many awards and exhibited his works world-wide in solo and group shows. His works are in numerous private collections as well as museums such as the Museum of Modern Art and Guggenheim Museum in NYC, the Tate Gallery in London, and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.  www.artbykas.com
