Painting & Drawing
Donna Pierce-Clark
Upon graduation from Wright State University, Donna began teaching Secondary Art at Fairlawn High School in Sidney, Ohio. Personal growth as an artist led her to watercolor and oil painting workshops under many internationally known artists. Much like the wet-into-wet watercolor technique, she also paints Alla Prima oils. A member of Dailypaintworks.com, Donna paints and posts on this website, daily small works, updates her own website, and sends out her weekly blog and Newsletter. As well as painting professionally and teaching watercolors and oils at the Troy Hayner Cultural Center in Troy, Ohio, she also teaches private students in her studio in Springfield, Ohio.
"Transparency and movement dominate both my landscapes and my still life works. Just as I love the movement of rolling hills or ocean waves, swaying tree limbs, and grasses in nature, I am mesmerized by soft folds in fabric as they roll beneath and around the objects in a still life. When painting En Plein Air, my spiritual senses are awakened as I study shapes, colors, and changing light. My preferred subjects, above all, are dynamic oceanic scenes. The sparkling, transparent waters of my landscapes are mirrored by reflections of cut glass and other objects in my still life paintings."

Fluid Acrylic Pouring Workshop
Donna Pierce Clark
Come learn the techniques, tips and tricks of Acrylic Pouring with Donna. In this fun, interactive workshop, Donna will demonstrate the "Dirty Pour and several other methods. She'll discuss and demonstrate how to modify your paints with different pouring mediums, how to create cells, provide recipes and instructions for best practices while painting and suggestions for framing (or not) in a hand out to take home for future experimentation. You will need to bring a few things from home; otherwise, all materials will be provided. Each student will get 1 size 8x8" & 1 size 12 x 12” canvas panels, paints and all other materials required to create one pour painting in the morning session and one in the afternoon. If time allows, you can purchase an extra canvas and do a third painting. Please come dressed for mess (wear old clothing & a smock)!!! Because the canvas needs to fully set up and dry in a “dust free” environment. Please register (and pay for your seat) at least two weeks before the workshop. If this workshop does not reach the minimum number of students required (6) by two weeks before the day of the workshop, or by midnight of August 11, 2018; this workshop will be canceled and your money fully refunded.
