ART LESSONS AT SOBOBO

REGISTRATION DEADLINE JULY 6TH

It is with great pleasure to let everyone know that art lessons are now available at SoBoBo.

Paige Miglio, SoBoBo's February's Artist - 2012, is bringing this wonderful opportunity to those who wish to learn.

Read on....and you will see what she will teach, what you will learn through her amazing outlook and observations on life.

"Finding beauty – and more importantly spontaneity within the realism of studied subjects is my personal challenge...

Everything seems....“precious."

By careful study of nature and leaning on basic drawing foundation skills, every drawing and painting is a new exercise. I always do sketches by hand over and over until I am confident in my proportions and composition, whether my subject matter is portrait, object or landscape. Only once my drawing has been established, do I open up and allow myself the freedom to build marks and color, in paint or graphite.

My technique, as I get older, seems to grow. I am not satisfied by “doing one thing and doing it well.” But each style feeds the other. My mural work is the total opposite technique to working in watercolor, both by sheer size - and application of paint; with watercolor you generally work from light to dark, while in acrylic/latex (or oil) you work from dark to light.

But everything for me comes back to drawing.....I love to draw, to problem solve, to move objects and subjects within the scene – as I am often called to do for portrait work – and remake them into a new reality. ...When I draw, I feel my fingertips are moving across the object, into the scene and wrapping around my subject. Drawing makes me whole."

--Paige Miglio

Paige Miglio finds the beauty in all defining aspects of the world around her. It is as if she scoops up what she sees, places it in her heart where her love envelopes it allowing the magic to form and begin to flow down her arm to her fingers...she states it quite eloquently '...I feel my fingertips are moving across the object, into the scene and wrapping around my subject...," a precious moment, a precious gift that has been given to us.

Paige thoroughly enjoys life! She teaches each of us a lesson every time we speak with her, see her finished work or even watch as she paints a mural on the side of a building.

"A Day at the Beach" - watercolor - by Paige Miglio

She teaches us that we should take the time to see the beauty and grace of what has been given to us and we take for granted each day....the smell of coffee brewing first thing in the morning, the sun peering through a window from the east as it rises showing us another gorgeous day is about to begin; even the cloudy rainy days are full of wonderment, the snow as it gently, quietly falls blanketing the earth creating such a silence you begin to whisper when you speak. You can even find wonderment in the material things such as the car that cut you off...the design of it, the mechanics of it, and yes even the driver for he/she is truly a work of art....

But Paige has natural abilities which she is able to hone in on each "object" finding the precious wonderment, the lustre of what makes everything surrounding us full of life...We have been blessed with a precious gift.

And you can learn how to do this, you can learn to enjoy what you look at every day...and capture it on paper.
