Please bring payment to the May meeting. 

Take care. Please stay safe.

Hope to see you soon.

Hi Ladies!!

Thank you all for your help with the Karen Brouwer seminar. I love Karen and was thrilled we could offer this seminar. I hope everyone enjoyed it.  There is a set of paints for each project in a labeled box in the shower at the studio. Please do your best to keep sets together and return them to the shower.

Karen left her finished pieces for us. We will have a raffle ($1 per ticket) funds to be donated to the Assistance League which supports women getting out of abusive relationships, kids, and many, many others.  This year, we will also pick a day to volunteer with them pulling clothing together for needy kids. More info to follow on that.

March - Marilyn is teaching a beautiful poinsettia on a canvas covered in wrinkled tissue paper. If you missed her demonstration for applying the tissue paper at the seminar, it can be viewed on Let's Paint with Plaid. Her poinsettia turned out beautifully.  Consider bringing a friend.

Donna will stop in to talk to us in March about April and May's painting from a photo. Please bring a few photos you are considering and she will talk to each of us. She will also pass out a supply list.  I'm very excited for this. I have some photos I have been wanting to paint and have not attempted.

Look forward to seeing you all for March's meeting.

                                                             Enjoy!

                                                             Betty

April 28 and May 16 - Painting from a photo

Donna Richards will be teaching us how to paint from a photo.
This will be a two-part class in April and May.  A landscape or some outdoor 
subject would be a perfect choice  for the seminar   won’t be intended for painting a portrait of a human or a pet  but they will learn a few things that would still apply. 

Fun photos from the Karen Brouwer seminar!

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!
