Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts

This workshop explores the evocative world of nocturne painting through the delicate and expressive medium of watercolor. Focusing on landscape scenes at the edge of day—sunset, twilight, and night—students will learn to capture the silvery light and subtle atmospheric effects that define these transitional hours. Learn how to work with restrained hues and layered washes to create a sense of depth and unity, to suggest rather than describe subject matter. Instruction will emphasize tonalist concerns of working with muted color palettes, gentle value shifts, and harmonious compositions. Through individualized guidance, participants will hone their sensitivity to tonal relationships and the expressive potential of nocturne painting.
Weekend Workshop
Instructor: James Toogood
Date &amp; Time: July 25 &amp; July 26, Saturday &amp; Sunday, 9 AM - 5 PM

Feel the rhythm, flavor, and joy of summer – Latino style! Join us this July for a vibrant celebration with an outdoor concert performance of La Guagua 47 featuring the LaGuagua 47 Orchestra &amp; Singers, Latin food, dancing, a local merchant fair, balloons, and fun for all ages. 
La Guagua 47 is a one-of-a-kind community cultural production by Alba Martinez that tells a universal story of migration, belonging, and finding home in one another. Lucía is fifteen when her family loses everything and moves from the mountains of Puerto Rico to Philadelphia. She leaves behind her abuelita, her friends, and the only home she's known. Feeling invisible in a new city, she boards the 47 bus — and meets a chorus of neighbors whose stories open her world. La Guagua 47 is a bilingual Latino musical about what it takes to belong.
Public Transportation: Esperanza is located along SEPTA Bus Line 47.
Parking: Free parking available at 4th and Bristol 
Free and open to the public. 
Registration encouraged but not required.




Made possible by support from Creative PHL, Presser Foundation, and Philadelphia Cultural Fund.
