February 2020 Newsletter

Hi Ladies!!

I would like to thank Glenna one more time for teaching in January. The kids playing in the snow was a great project. I would also like to thank all those that provided food and raffle items.

There is no regular meeting this month. I'm thrilled, excited, and over the moon that Karen Brouwer will be teaching a seminar on February 27-29.

Karen is great fun to paint with. All paint will be provided in class. The snow globes need to be prepped. If you do not have prep or line drawings please contact Pat McKean 801-631-6100 or me 801-699-1246. The wrens and hummingbirds are prepped. You may want to trace the pattern just in case.

Karen Brouwer Seminar

February 27 - 29, 2020

Will be held at:

Lion's Club in Bluffdale

1881 W 14400 S

Bluffdale, UT 84065

There is a church next door. Parking is allowed there as well. The building will be open at about 8:30 AM. A light breakfast and lunch will be provided. Plan to paint until approximately 5 pm.

I will have Marilyn'/s March project at the seminar. She did a wonderful job. It is a beautiful poinsettia on a canvas covered with tissue paper and then painted on. This is from an on-line Paint with Plaid class. Marilyn will demo putting the tissue on at the February seminar. The original piece is on a 12 X 16 canvas. The size can be adjusted. This may be a good project for any beginners you wish to invite but it was suggested using a smaller canvas for beginners or if you want to finish the piece at the meeting.

Donna Richards will be teaching us to paint from a photo in April and May. Donna will stop in at the March meeting to explain further and bring a supply list. I'm going to have a hard time picking a photo. There are a few from vacations I have wanted to paint but have not tackled. I'm excited Donna has committed two months to us to teach us how.

All those headed to Vegas -- safe travels. Please bring pieces to the March meeting for show and tell. Thanks for all your support.

Enjoy!

Betty

Karen Brouwer Seminar -- February 27, 28 & 29

We are so lucky that Betty made arrangements to have Karen Brouwer from Australia will come to Salt Lake after the Las Vegas convention to teach our guild.

PLEASE NOTE: The seminar classes will be held at the Lion's Club, 1881 West 14400 South, Bluffdale, Utah.

The project pieces for Thursday and Saturday are already based. You will need to base in the snow globes for Friday's class. It is recommended that painters bring an ott light or magnifying glasses with lights because the work on the snow globes is tiny.

Thursday, February 27 - Wrens

Friday, February 28 - Globes

Saturday, February 29 - Hummingbirds

March 21 - Poinsetta

Marilyn will be teaching us this beautiful Poinsetta. This is a fun piece to paint. Invite a friend or a beginner painter. Marilyn will demonstrate how to prep for this piece using tissue paper at the February seminar. This can be painted on a 16" x 20" canvas or adjust it for a smaller canvas.
