2011 April Newsletter

Dear Painters:

Spring is slowly arriving. Tulips are up and daffodils are blooming.

The Board Members were very busy at the last meeting getting our year up to date. Our Paint-ins, Social and Seminars are planned.

In July we are going to have a Summer Social at Tirzah’s house. We would like to invite all present and past members. More on this event later.

In September we have Bill Bayer coming for three days. He will be doing a beautiful oil painting. Please read the Fall 2011 Seminar Alert.

It should be an exciting year.

Thank you Gloria for teaching your jewelry box. It was a fun project. Thanks also goes to those who brought treats. Eileen Barnard won the raffle which was brought by Helen Mahoney. Thanks Helen.

I will be teaching the "Fruit Tray" on April 30th. It will be a week later because of the Easter weekend. See you there.

Happy Easter.

Don’t forget your food bank donation.

Nancy

(You can apply the rest of the design as we paint.) Paint the bowl Trail Tan. Note: this pattern can be enlarged for bigger surfaces, but it is not recommended for smaller projects because of all the small details.

Prep Instructions:
I painted this rooster on a 9 1/2" pie pan. The center is based in Vellum. The outer edge of the pie pan is based in Willow. The very top edge (flat part) is based in Blackberry. After the center is dry, put on the pattern. Base the rooster in Blackberry. When that is dry, apply the pattern for his wings and other details. (It would be good to have much done before class so we can begin to decorate him.)

The Paint-in will be held at the Westwood Village Clubhouse (1111 N. 2000 W., Farr West, UT).Take I-15 #346 and go north on 2000 W/UT-126 0.6 of mile. The Clubhouse is on the west side of the street with parking on the west side of the building.
