SUMMER ART AND COOKBOOK CREATION CLASSES
AT TUMALO ART COMPANY
As an instructor, Marquiss focuses on individual style and offers smaller class sizes to allow individual assistance. “Beginning students often tell me they have no art ability because they can’t even draw a straight line,” Marquiss explains. “ I reply, that’s great, because a straight line is boring and tedious.” “I include all art supplies in the price of the class so students have the freedom to explore the medium and then decide which materials they want to invest in. Students simply show up and create,” she says.
Marquiss is a professional artist, art teacher and author living in Bend, Oregon. Combining her love for food and art, she wrote, illustrated and published two family cookbooks with her sister entitled The Marquiss Kitchen I and II. She is a founding member of the Tumalo Art Company that began in Tumalo, and a regular contributor to Gusto Magazine. Marquiss has taught art classes for the past 17 years to children and adults. Her original art, prints, and cookbook can be seen at: www.marymarquiss.com.
Tumalo Art Company on Greenwood in Bend is the perfect place to teach. The art gallery has excellent lighting and open space, and students are surrounded by artistic inspiration from the gallery artists. All classes are limited to 8 students to allow for individual attention.

 Color Your Words
PARENT/CHILD ART CLASS
Parent/Child Art Exploration - A writing and watercolor class focusing on personal expression. Create a cover for any type of book to fill with papers of your choice and bind for gift giving or framing. This writing and art class, taught by artist and author Mary Marquiss, focuses on personal expression and the artistic exploration of the classic cruciform design. This class will teach you how to weave together your personal words and design style. The first half of the class will focus on a creative writing exercise. These words and expressions will form the first layer of your book cover or fine art. During the second half of the class students will explore a layering process with prinking inks, acrylic paints, Japanese rice papers and collage items to bring their design to life. Please bring a favorite writing pen and a few favorite materials to collage such as copies of photographs, stamps, a wine label, lace, feathers, hand written letters or interesting papers.

 INTRODUCTION TO WATERCOLOR
Watercolor has a reputation for being fussy and difficult to control. Using a playful approach, artist Mary Marquiss will step you through the basic language of this medium using a series of warm-up exercises, and then lead you through the creation of a finished piece of art using a black and white value scale and basic color theory. Marquiss has worked in watercolor for the past 17 years with an emphasis on understanding how to identify and understand student’s individual style.
INTERMEDIATE WATERCOLOR
This class is for students who understand the basic techniques involved in watercolor and would like to work on value and design while practicing their watercolor technique. The class will begin from a black and white photograph to better understand the range of darks and lights within an image and then move into the use of color. All paints and paper will be provided so students can simply show up and create.
