The members of the Utah Guide of Heritage Artists (UGHA) have decided to disband this organization, cease all operations and cancel its membership in the Society of Decorative Painters. 

We thank all our members and the teachers who have contributed their expertise and creativity to teach us over the many 30+ years of painting classes. 

It is a sad day for us, but we hope you continue painting with your friends and family to carry on the tradition of decorative painting.

The Guild donated the funds raised for service projects to the Utah food bank. 

Utah Guild of Heritage Artists November 2022 Newsletter

 

President’s Message from Marilyn Healy:

 

October's painting class was a blast. I definitely need more practice. Well here comes the winter season. We had a beautiful snowfall the other day.

If you did not hear yet, we will finish up this year and have a few seminars next year but no monthly meetings. No Guild going forward. I have talked to one group that has

decided to just have seminars and no monthly meetings as well.

The Christmas party has been reserved at Marie Callendar’s on 3900 South and

1109 East. Begins at 12:00 noon on December 3rd. Bring a gift to exchange ($15.00). We

can order off the menu.

This month we will be meeting on November 19th starting at 9:00 a.m. Nola will be teaching Lynne Andrews' Three Santas. See photo below.  We suggest you wear masks at the meeting to protect Nola and all of us from the viruses going around.  

We also need some raffle items for the November meeting.

Have your pieces based in so we can get more than one completed. Lynne Andrews uses a chalky or light finish. You decide if you want to base your wood in solid or lighter.

Utah Guild of Heritage Artists October 2022 Newsletter

 

President’s Message from Marilyn Healy:

 

I am loving the cooler temperatures. If you have not driven up to see the fall colors, you should. They are so pretty this year. I am looking forward to all the fall fun.

 

Reminder:  We are meeting on the 4^th Saturday this month – October 22. This date is when the teacher could meet.

 

October 22 is the Chinese brush painting virtual seminar.
We are painting hummingbirds and flowers.  The “actual” piece is not finished. Below are examples of hummingbirds and painted ones. The cost of the class is $30.

 

The brushes are unique, I’m not sure if “normal” watercolor brushes will work.

 

The PRE-brushes are similar to student brushes and work if you don’t want to invest a lot until you try them.

 

For this project, you will need a small flow brush and a small happy dot brush. Betty will have kits available with paper, ink, and paint for $3.00.

Hummingbird

Most birds are considered a symbol of good luck and messengers of positive news in China. Hummingbirds are not found nor are indigenous species in Asia. Hummingbirds do appear in ancient Mayan, Aztec, Incas and Celtic civilizations. As a spirit animal, the hummingbird represents enjoyment, lightness and reminds us to find the joy and love in our lives and to keep away from negativity.
