Budget Statement for 2020

Since retreat costs and dues were mostly paid in 2019 and class costs for ZOOM were priced at the pattern cost only there were more outgoing funds than incoming funds.

2021 is likely to be similar since dues were rolled over for 2020 membership into 2021 and ZOOM class pricing for classes so far still mostly pattern/supply cost only.

Hi all,

Happy Spring!  As I'm writing this temps are supposed to drop 30 degrees and snow is possible after a few days around 70.  Spring in Utah can be anything. I'm excited things are starting to bud and bloom. I hope it all survives the drop and potential snow.
I hope all are well. Everyone getting vaccinated or already done?

Please note this class has been moved to April 24!!!

April 24 and May 15 - Donna Richards will be teaching us to paint from a photo. We will all be painting the same piece but learning how to paint from our own photo as well.   I will send the ZOOM link from March. Donna talks about the prep and some additional information at the beginning of the recording.  It will be $30 total for two months.  

If you send a photo you would like to paint to her she will use our photos as examples in her discussion to help in painting our own photos.  Donna's email is Paint1too@aol.com. Please put UGHA photo in the subject line.  Please contact Pat McKean if you are interested in joining us.  Prep is preparing canvas (see ZOOM for more info) and putting on basic pattern lines. 

The link below is from the March Zoom class. At the beginning of the video, Donna talks about prepping your canvass for the truck class. It is good information, so listen to it to prep the piece.  You will need to purchase an 11" x 14" portrait or smooth canvas.

June retreat - We are still checking on some things. There may be something every week in June on either a Friday or Saturday.  The plan is three ZOOM classes. Glenna is teaching seagulls, Jacque a watercolor beach scene, and I'll be teaching the artist amphibian.  More details to come. 

 

Hope to see you all on ZOOM!

Take care!

Happy painting!

I hope you are all well.  I can't believe it's November already. Time is flying by and crawling at the same time. Please be safe and wear a mask when out in public.

If you are interested in any of the below please contact Pat McKean. 

Date to be determined- Due to the state of emergency the governor has issued, Kristen's class will be delayed until our February meeting. Kristen is teaching the beautiful plate.  $10 for the pattern. You are on your own for the surface. Kristen painted it on a cool plate from Turn of the Century, RNSP-16. Very cool plate but $36. Design without rim is 12-13 inches.  

Dec 12 - Glenna is teaching the design below. It is $12 for plaque and pattern. We are ordering 12. Be sure to note the earlier date. Please coordinate with Pat McKean to order the project. 

Jan 16th - Marilyn will teach the poinsettia.  $10 for the pattern.  Many of you have already paid for this when originally scheduled for March 2020.

Take care. 

Happy Painting.
