Coming Soon: Joan Vienot’s Sea & Sky Exhibit

By on January 9, 2020 in 30A Art Updates, Art Shows, Openings & Events, Meet 30A Artists

Joan Vienot is exhibiting her collection of paintings produced for her theme, Sea & Sky, at Anne Hunter Galleries at 25 Central Square in Seaside, Florida, March 1 through April 30, 2020.

Joan says “I am fascinated by the rapidly changing energy and imagery of both forms of water, from puffy summer cotton balls scudding across the sky, to dramatic threatening thunderheads, and similarly, the gentle lap of clear water on a calm day, and the roaring surf of an approaching storm.” Initially studying realistic color transitions and rhythmic patterns, the theme carried her into expressive, iconic imagery.

Open daily, the gallery will have a number of opportunities to visit with Joan.

Opening reception March 13 5pm-8pm

Mondays, demos and activities 9am-3pm

Thursdays, Meet the Artist, 5-8pm

First Fridays, wine and cheese, 5-8pm

Park in public parking on Road 283 across from Hurricane Oyster Bar, and take the Seaside Shuttle. Anne Hunter Galleries is at 25 Central Square, adjoining Amavida Coffee.

Or use valet parking in Seaside on Quincy Circle (west side), behind the Gallery.

INTRO to Color Theory – 1/22/20 6-8:30pm $95

Color theory introduces students to basic color mixing, how to make their own color charts and how to use specific color combinations to create certain visual effects like depth and shadow. This was my favorite and most valuable class in college and is a great building block for all workshops.

INTRO to Landscape – 1/29/20 6-8:30pm $95

The landscape workshop teaches basic skills on how to approach a landscape painting, including easy tips on where to start a landscape, how to scale and how to use color to create depth. I was blown away by the works created by my ‘non artist’ students!

INTRO to Portrait – 2/5/20 6-8:30pm $95

This portrait workshop is a really easy and a fun way to learn portrait in an expressionistic style. It sounds intimidating but I’ll ease you into creating an image that will make you proud. I’m pretty sure students in my portrait workshops laugh more than in any other workshop, its so fun!

INTRO to Abstract and Texture – 2/12/20 6-8:30pm $95

Painting with texture is really hot on 30A right now and students love learning to work with venetian plaster to create unique abstract work. I loved seeing how each student went their own direction in this workshop and they truly amazed themselves and were proud of their work!
