Love the look of watecolors with ink lines? Always wanted to learn it? Here's your chance! After you have taken at least the basic "Introduction to Watercolors" class or have a basic understanding of working with watercolors, I can start teaching you the basics of using the line and wash technique! Learn what supplies to use, great ways to use them, and what subjects look great in this energectic technique! We will play, practice, and learn in this fun 2 hour session!

You will learn the basics of painting in watercolor, practice widely used techniques, color theory & mixing, and paint some 5x7 masterpieces with the close guidance of artist Terry Ganey.

Step even further into the whimsical world of watercolors by taking the next step in my watercolor courses - "Intermdiate Watercolors". You will learn about the importance of composition in your artwork, how to paint from real life (outside or even a still life), how to paint from a reference image, and my favorite - the technique I work in daily - how to do the 'line and wash' technique. Line and wash is the use of watercolors, along with pen and ink to give your art more energy and a more painterly feel. Once again, these are 4 private, 2-hour sessions with close, one-on-one instruction. I prefer to teach this way because it allows me the opporutnity to see your progress and learning style up-close and alter the lesson mid-way if I have to, just to make sure you are becoming the best artist you are capable of being. Come join me in my studio at TheArtworks on this second leg of your watercolor journey, learning more techiniques, hacks, and tricks along the way!

“If I could say it in words there would be no reason to paint.” Edward Hopper Art has always been a transformative force in my life, providing solace and a creative outlet during challenging times in my life. The act of creating has not only saved my sanity but also brought me immense peace and helped me navigate through many difficult situations. It's a powerful form of self-expression that has truly shaped my identity and brought true self-awareness into my life. Art, especially line and wash, helps me capture and tap into the spirit of the crazy, yet brilliant world around me. Creating helps me vocalize what's happening around me and many times, what is happening inside of me. For me, creating art is an intimate, safe avenue for me to express my feelings, whether self-imposed or influenced by the ebb and flow of life around me. It is honestly one of the rare times I actually feel comfortable enough to be completely vulnerable and open; it helps me often to feel a connection to the outer world because I have difficulty with that. It is my truest voice when I am too broken and sad to speak or even when I am so happy, so excited, that the words come tumbling out in an awkward, rushed jumble. Art plays such an integral role in my life; it helps me alter my perspective of living and thriving. In creating, I need no words, no proper grammar, no fancy jargon - I just need my brush, a pen, and lots of colors to let you know what is circling in my head, what I am seeing with my eyes, and what I am feeling in my soul.

I don’t even know where to start with this tale of the roller coaster ride I have been on in the last year! I will start where my fried brain can remember, ha! First, in 2023, one of my urban sketches was used by Brunswick Beer and Cider on their tee shirts! You know how much I adore being a part of the urban sketchers - it’s one of my biggest passions! Second, I was interviewed (me, who doesn’t interview well because I am eternally goofy and awkward) by Raleigh Voyage Magazine. That was one of the most surreal moments for me - to have a printed editorial spread of my interview and photos mailed to me! Now, onto one of the biggest things still happening to me - I am working with an amazing author out of PA, Craig Jones, and illustrating his children’s book!  I have already gained so much on this project, from learning about the publishing world and how it works, to how much creativity I really do have locked inside my heart. This is both a blessing and a grand adventure that I am on, and I hope this will be the beginning of many new adventures in illustrating! Next, I had my very first solo exhibition at the fantastic Sublimina Studio in the Cargo District in Wilmington. Now, THAT was a learning experience - both nerve-wracking, hard work, and buckets of fun! HUGE shout-outs and thanks to Bryan of Sublimina and two of my besties, Heather and Debbie - you guys are the real, behind-the-scenes MVPs!! After all that chaos, I have been in a couple of other shows, made new art, and connected with so many artists in our great Cape Fear arts community, which has been awesome-sauce. The latest news I have for you guys is that when I am not working on the book, I am now offering private watercolor lessons in my studio at TheArtworks! To be honest with you, I probably should have gone to school to be an art teacher - I just LOVE to teach others about the vibrant world of art! I am such a nerd when it comes to making out my lesson plans and even my take-home pdf's. What a dork! I cannot wait to teach my first student. If you are interested in taking one of my classes, hit me up at terryganeystudio@gmail.com! At least you know I will be annoyingly enthusiastic about it. Oh yes, don’t forget that Fourth Friday is coming up on 2.23, from 6pm - 9pm - I will be in my studio, serving up snacks, drinks, and hopefully some laughs ( awkward laughs at me, with me, who really knows?)! I will also be giving away some stuff and having a sale on some of my art. That's all folks, at least for now! Stay tuned for the next episode of the Terry G Studio Show! Peace and love, peeps.

Welcome all! I am your blog host and Wilmington artist, Terry Ganey, and on this crazy show, we are going to be taking a peek into my world – my world of soul-searching, pencil-smudging, paint-splattering, and canvas-ripping; my art and soul. Let me open up this show by telling you a bit about myself. I am a completely self-taught artist that has the pleasure of living on the east coast of NC, which basically means - I am lucky enough to enjoy the beauty of the ocean, a little city-life, and the peaceful country at the same time. All of these unending muses in the Carolinas influence my art – I love capturing the fierceness of the untamed ocean, the architecture of a lively city, and the quiet beauty of a backwoods (which is where I grew up). I have been drawing for as long as I remember, and apparently even longer still. My kindergarten teacher, sweet Mrs. Jacobs, who I have kept in contact with throughout the years, swears I drew some mittens and a chicken for class story time. (Now wondering, did she mean the chicken was wearing the mittens? On what? It’s feet?) I swear I do not remember either. Although I have always been drawing, painting, or doing something artsy - I did, for a time, get away from my one true love. I let life’s angry tides carry me far away from my safe haven of artistic dwelling. But yeah, you probably figured out the story; I got my art groove back. As I neared my 40’s, I panicked for some reason and decided I was going to have an early mid-life crisis. I chopped my hair all off, dyed it bright red (apparently with accidental pops of pink in it), and decided I wasn’t going to spend the rest of my life working in a job that truly did not make me as happy as I am when making my art. I mean, what kind of legacy was I leaving for my children? As Confucius said, “Choose a job you love, and you will never work a day in your life’. Now, here I am, making a go of the old classic, ‘follow your heart’ deal. Its scary, its a bit overwhelming sometimes (I am definitely not a big crowds person), but it's liberating at the same time. All I know at this point is that I am overwhelmingly in love with art - I love creating it, talking about it, and I love it when people get that about me. Welp, that’s all folks for today! Just don’t forget to stay tuned and catch up with me on my next adventure! Questions? Comments? Hey, even concerns? Feel free to email me here at terryganeystudio@gmail.com or you can contact me via my website !
