Hello Ladies,
Hope everyone is having a good year so far. I’m thinking sun shine. I’m ready for warm days.
We missed a lot of you at the January paint-in. Wendy did a wonderful job teaching the Valentine Plate and it turned out so cute.
Next month Eileen will be teaching a seed box. So come and join us on the 25th of February at the Westwood Clubhouse.
Please remember to bring a non-perishable food item to the paint-in. The items will be donated to a local food bank as part of our Chapter’s community service project. There is a lot of need in these hard times, so we hope everyone will support this effort.
Hope everyone is enjoying a good and healthy month. Relaxation is one key to good health, so come and join us for relaxation and fun. Let’s Paint!
Lydia

2012 Chapter Service Project
This year again, the Chapter will be continuing the Food Drive as our Community Service Project. Last year was very successful and we hope to do even better this year. Members are urged to bring items for the Food Bank to each Paint-in and Seminar they attend. (See our Food Bank Donations Guideline page for information on acceptable items or go the the Utah Food Bank web site for more information.) There is a lot of need, so we hope everyone will support this effort.

Yellow Green Provincial Beige
Espresso (BG) Lilac (BG)
Burnt Umber Seedlings (BG)
Warm White Mustard Seed (BG)
Shamrock (BG) Red Violet Primrose (BG)
*Background colors
Prep Instructions:
Base bottom of box with Shamrock. Doing one side at a time, brush on a liberal amount of JoSonja’s retarder. Then put on one coat of Vines. Take a piece of Saran/Cling wrap and lay loosely over the top. Should be wrinkled. Press down on the wrinkles with your fingers then slowly lift the wrap off and discard. This is to give an appearance of branches behind the bee’s skeps. Let this side dry before doing the next. You can use a hairdryer to speed up your drying time.
Base the top of the box with Espresso.
Apply the pattern.
You will need a good #2 round and a 10/0 or 18/0 liner. You may also want to use a small angle brush for shading.
A couple of notes:
(1) If you would prefer a bluer box, you could substitute Stillwater and Raindrop for the Tarragon and Vines. Use the darkest color first.
(2) Don’t go out and buy all of the rest of the colors (beyond basing), you are welcome to use mine. I will have all of the colors there and it only takes just a smidge of each paint to do this box. If you don’t have the basing colors, you could use DecoArt’s Hauser Dark Green and Hauser Med Green in place of the Tarragon and Vines. Use the darkest color first. You could base your lid with my Espresso during class.
