Hi folks, So we’re ready to start up our second 6 week studio art program. I thought I’d elaborate a bit about the individual weeks projects.

Week 01 Photo Shop on the mac

This week we will cover the basics of Adobe Photo Shop CS6.

Importing, selecting, manipulating and exporting within the Apple environment

Week 02 Advanced Photo Shop

This week we will cover the second half of PS basics.

This week we’ll begin drawing and painting with a tablet in Photo Shop

Week 03 Painting and drawing transfer techniques/going from digital to traditional

This one the title tells it all. We will talk about using the printer, light table, graphite and Saral transfer papers. Also we will discuss the Silhouette Cameo stencil cutter as methods to get art from the computer or else where onto our painting surface.

Week 04 Acrylic painting

This week we will cover the basics of acrylic painting on skateboards specifically. Brushes, blades, markers and the airbrush as delivery systems.

Week 05 Multimedia (wet&dry)

This week we’ll combine some of the media we’ve discussed and add a few more. We’ll add dehydrated ink sticks, collage, watercolor colored pencils and oil pastel to try to add to the density of a piece.

Week 06 Airbrush

This week we’ll work with the airbrush. The projects this week are: spray a tshirt, and create and spray a stencil.

So that’s my plan for the next 6 weeks.

If you or anyone you know is interested please give us a call Tempo/GHG at 508-879-1424 and ask for Dave or email me directly at .

So I am just about to finish up facilitating Photo Voice for the 3rd and 4th time. One in Framingham and one in Waltham. All of the young adults did great and the artwork is very excitng. Wanna see? Come to our 2 exhibits.

3/31 4-6pm at Tempo 68 Henry st Framingham

Hi Folks

June 6th between 6-9pm we had our first gallery show at Amazing Arts in Framingham. We had 60 pieces of art ranging from acrylic paintings to graphite, studio markers,charcoal, ink wash and collage. Our group of young adult artists framed or prepared all the work in the 3.5 weeks we had between getting the show and our event.

The exhibiting artist at Amazing Things Art Center Sonja Holzwarth Maneri was kind enough to host our show in the space in front of her show. She even found time to come speak to the GHG artists about a life in the arts and about her inspiration. ( Thanx Sonja.)

It was an amazing night. We had about 100 guests and sold 35 pieces of art. I think the young adults did an AMAZING job interacting with the public and discussing their work in a very professional way.

I’m very proud to be working with these folks. I know this is just the beginning. Watch this space for the exciting future of Green House Graphics.
