2013 November Newsletter
Hello Ladies,
I hope everyone is doing well. Time is just flying by and the Holidays will soon be here.
Hello Ladies,
I hope everyone is doing well. Time is just flying by and the Holidays will soon be here.
We
had a wonderful class with JoLynn Johnson. She taught a Fall Pumpkin
on a surface of your choice. The colors are beautiful and everyone
enjoyed painting with JoLynn.
In
November, Helen will be teaching a pretty piece on a very different
surface. It’s a glass block and it’s lit up with a string of
lights. The very pretty “Chocolat Francais” store front will go
well with any Christmas decoration. We will also have a cookie
exchange during the paint-in. So come and join us for a delightful
time. See Blog for details.
As
the year is coming to at end, it is time to renew our membership,
elect the Chapter Board for 2014, and join us for our Christmas party
which will be held at the Ogden Grill on Washington Blvd.
Please support the Chapter's Food Drive Service Project. There is a lot of need, especially with the holidays coming up. Bring your canned food items to the November Paint-in and/or the Christmas Party.
I
hope to see you at the November paint-in and/or the Christmas party.
Take
care and keep on painting.

The Board would like some input from the Chapter members about next year's Paint-ins and fall Seminar. What kind and style of projects would you like to paint? Who would you like as teachers? 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
Instructions:
Before
painting, spray the block with 2 coats of Krylon White
Frost Spray. Let dry in between coats.
Transfer
the pattern on for the windows and glass section of the lanterns
only.
Base
around these sections with Black Gesso. Let dry. Mix the stucco with
the black gesso until it is almost Black...a dark charcoal color.
Use a palette knife to apply a thin layer of the mixture in every
different direction to create the texture. Be careful not to go over
the windows and lantern. If it cracks somewhat, just fill with a
little more of the stucco/black mixture if you like. Cracks are fine,
but you do not want the glass to show. Let dry.
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.

Basecoat the entire bowl
with Cool Neutral. (I would recommend using a roller for this step
so you will have some texture for dry brushing. I dry brushed the
highlights instead of floating as Deanne did.) When this is dry,
dampen the surface with clean water (I used retarder to extend my
drying time) using a one inch wash brush. Rebase the inside of the
bowl with the Cool Neutral. While this is wet and without rinsing
your brush, pick up Black Green and blend this from the center of the
bowl toward the rim using slip-slap brush motions. Next, pick up
Avocado and blend this from the center outward on top of the existing
Black Green. Pick up more paint as necessary to carry the green
almost to the outside edges. Then pick up Titanium White and blend
this from the outside edges in toward the center to lighten the outer
edges. When dry transfer the design.
Basecoat the apples with True Ochre.
Basecoat the plums with several coats of Cranberry Wine so the plums are opaque. (You might want to mix some white into your first coat to speed the process).
Basecoat the grapes with Black Plum.
Paint the stems with Bittersweet Chocolate + Celery Green (1:1) using a no. 6 liner.

Dues
Yes, it's that time of year again. I'm sure most of you have received notice from SDP about your national membership renewal with your last Decorative Painters magazine. National dues need to be postmarked before December 1st to avoid their $5 postage/handling fee. (Pay SDP dues directly to the Society.)
Please pay your local dues ($15) to the treasurer by January 1st to avoid our $5 late penalty (accrued after January 1st). Checks can be made out to Golden Spike Decorative Painters and mailed to the Chapter at 2825 W 5875 S, Roy, UT 84067.
Raffles
The Chapter has two Seminars this year and if you have items you would like to donate to the Chapter, they would be much appreciated.
This year at our Christmas Party we will again be having a special raffle. The Chapter has put together a basket of painter's supplies. Among the items are a $25 gift certificate, easel, palette paper and other painter essentials. Tickets will be on sale from now until the drawing at the party. The cost is $1.00 per ticket or 6 for $5.00. You do NOT have to be present to win.
