Bennington
Battlefield State Historic Site is offering a painting workshop for the public
on Sunday, September 28, from 1 – 4 pm. "Theorem Painting," is a traditional
form of decorative painting using pre-cut stencils to create original works of
art, often done by men and women alike to decorate simple furnishings and
pictures during the late 1700s and the 1800s. Phyllis Chapman will present the
program at the Barnett House at 30 Caretakers Road, Hoosick Falls, NY 12090. Stencil
painting is far more than just popping white "snow" through stencils on a
window at Christmas! Using special and easy techniques such as shading and
highlighting, sponging, masking and layering, and hand painted finishing
touches, you can create an impressive work of art in a short time. The workshop
will provide participants with a wood panel that can be painted to be a hanging
picture, or a small serving tray. Paints, brushes and stencils will be provided
as well. At the end of the session, you will leave with a completed "theorem
painting," in the style of those made long ago- with your own special touches! The
cost for the workshop is $7 and includes all materials, instruction, and light
refreshments. Pre-registration is highly recommended. Email david.pitlyk@parks.ny.gov or call
518-860-9094 to reserve your place. Class size is limited; if you have specific
questions, call 518-686-4438.
