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 it.

For this project, you will need a small flow brush and a small happy dot brush.

Materials Needed:

Rice Paper = Lorean's Teacher's roll. Please use Lorean's affiliate link to go to Oriental Art Supply below

https://orientalartsupply.com/collections/lorean-weng

Brushes = Pre Series Brush Set OR individual brushes Pre-Flow + Pre-HappyDot - you can order small PRE flow brush and small PRE Happy Dot if you don't want to order the set - for this go to the shop tab//link on the page, then to brushes

Paint = Yasutomo Watercolor set - 

Color	Yasutomo	Consistency

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.

President's Message - May

Dear UGHA Members,

What a wet spring we are having. We had to have trees trimmed from the damage of freezing rain and then we had snow. Yikes! The patterns and boxes are in. Judy asks that we get the prep done.  This is not so large that it shouldn’t be too difficult. Lunch is provided. May 21^st at 9:00 a.m.   `

June we will be meeting on the 4^th Saturday so far. We will be doing watercolor on cards. Donna Richards is teaching. Blick has Canson Blank Greeting Cards – white watercolor with envelope, pkg of 6 for $5.88. We can use acrylic paint in place of watercolor too. Works well. Donna will work up examples and I will send them out soon. $5 each for the pattern.

Glenna heard back on the cost of the spider boxes and they have gone up to $35 each because of the price of the wood Let me know if you are interested or not. I know a few I have talked to said they are not interested at that cost. 

We are moving the seminar with Carol Spohn to October. It will not be so hot that month also we will not run into people taking a vacation.  

Hope to see you at the meeting. We will still be recording  the class for those that cannot attend.

Best,

Marilyn Healy, President

President's Message - April

If you are needing to order the Bentwood box for the May project, I need to get the order to DePalma’s by April 8^th.  Let Gail know and get her a check or Venmo her ASAP so we can order them. You can, as always, use your own surface. The dimensions are 4 ¾” x 7 ½” x 3 ¾” high.

I am ready to get together and paint. Thanks to Loretta for teaching The CREATE banner/blocks. They were such fun. Loved the color Loretta used on her blocks. We are sending hugs to Loretta’s daughter who had surgery. Wishing her a speedy recovery.

 Kay is teaching the concrete cat this month. We just need to base coat in black. The cats are at Glenna’s studio ready for pick up, or you can come that day and base them if you don’t want to take back and forth.

 In May Judy Graham is teaching a beautiful pattern on a bentwood box (optional surface).

Thanks to everyone who is stepping up to teach and help. We had a raffle in March and Jacque Illguth is helping with the raffle. Anyone who can bring items to donate to the raffle this month, please bring them.

If you can donate items to the Mother’s in shelters project we are going to need them at this April meeting in order to get them to the shelter by Mother’s Day. Please get them to the studio. They will accept artwork if you want to donate anything like that. I was going to get diapers and a few things like shampoo and conditioners. 

Thanks in advance.

Marilyn Healy, UGHA President

Dear Painters:

 

I can’t wait to see what everyone painted from those that went to Las Vegas. We are ready to get back to meeting again. Loretta is teaching an Erika JoAnn design. I have all the little embellishments supplied:  buttons, yarn, painted 2" round, frame for the letter "E.”

 

Kay Salisbury is teaching the concrete cat for April. Please let Gail know right away if you are signing up and how many you need so we can make sure to get enough poured and ready. I am painting one for my daughter. This would make a great gift. The cost is $20.  

 

Judy will be teaching a beautiful floral box for May. The box will be $23.00. We will need to have these ordered by April 8th. The pattern will be $10. So please, let Gail know what you are signing up for and if you are getting a pattern or if you will be signing up for the surface as well. You can certainly use your own surface though.  Just a reminder you can Venmo Gail at @GailJenson. Just use a smiley face in the description then message her what you paid for. You can mail her a check if you feel more comfortable with this method as well.

 

Hope to see you at the meeting. We will still be recording for those that cannot attend.

 

Happy painting!
