February 2019 Newsletter


Hello fellow painters,

We have some really fun projects coming up.    I hope you all will take on the challenge of each project, especially if it's a new way to paint.  

I would like to thank Judy for teaching in January.  All the people who painted did a beautiful job and their "Lady on the Box (Palek design)" turned out so nice. 

I hope everyone is excited about the February project I am teaching.  Please have the background on and the frog pattern on.  I will have cloverleafs there to do the reverse stencil at the very beginning of class.

Our seminar this year will be with Kristen Birklund in September.  We have included information in this newsletter about the seminars the Heart of Utah and the Golden Spike Decorative Painters have organized.  Please support our neighboring chapters.  

Take care, and see you all at the chapter meeting in February.

April Bill Bayer Seminar - Golden Spike Decorative Painter

Bill “Ridley” Bayer began painting as a hobby in 1988. The following year he studied with Bob Ross and became a certified instructor of Bob’s wet on wet technique. He has since studied with many other well know artists developing his own style of painting. Bill has published five instructional books and three DVD's titled "Down Roads... Less Traveled" showcasing his talents. Bill uses his middle name “Ridley” as his signature. Ridley was also his grandfather’s name and Bill signs his paintings in “Paps” honor. Bill and his wife Fran live in St. Louis Mo and many of Bill’s compositions are inspired by the beautiful countryside surrounding their home. Bill paints in oils, acrylic and watercolor and travels across the country teaching the techniques he has learned.
