Hello Painters,
I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter and is enjoying Spring. I’m waiting for the tulips and daffodils.
Spring brings our first seminar of the year and I hope everyone is signed up for to paint the cute Pinocchio table with Heidi England. She is such a delightful lady to paint with.
Remember to bring a canned food item to the seminar for our community project, but most of all to help those in need. Thanks!
We also have a great list of teachers and projects for 2013. In March, Tirzah taught a pretty “Russian Folk Art” book cover. Check out our Blog for the scheduled teachers and projects for our monthly paint-ins.
Hope to see you at the seminar and our monthly paint-ins.
Take care and happy painting.
Lydia

Would you willing to teach a class and if so, what would you teach? Please give this some serious thought. We are here for You. Contact any of the Board members with your ideas.
2013 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.

Prep:
Eileen will be showing us what is needed to prep the surface for her June project. It really is not that hard (she says) but it needs to be completely dry before it is painted on. DecoArt has kindly supplied some texture crackle to the Chapter for the June Paint-in. However, the project is quite large and there may not be enough, so please bring any texture crackle, texture paste and/or crackle medium that you may have along with your surface, gloves, wide blade pallet knife, blue shop towels or an old lint-less t-shirt that you can cut up and use as an applicator for the paint. If you're using JoSonja's crackle you will definitely want the t-shirt to apply the paint since their cracks seem to be a little bit more pointier and stick up more and they really tear up the shop towels.

Prep
Instructions:
Surface
has a Texture Crackle finish that must be completely
dry
before painting. Eileen will be showing us this prep in May, so if
you plan on doing this project, it would be to your advantage to come
to the May Paint-in.
Sand
and seal the wood. Let dry. This is the part we will do in the May
prep class: Apply DecoArt's Texture Crackle in thin, small
overlapping patches until the surface is covered using a wide blade
pallet knife. If you do not have DecoArt's Texture crackle, you may
also use JoSonja's. You can put some Crackle Medium on top of the Texture Crackle and it will give you basically the same effect as the
DecoArt brand. If you are doing this, it is recommend that you not put any crackle where we will be painting the orchids.
Let
this dry overnight and then lightly sand again.
