THOUGHT FOR THE MONTH

Hi Painters!THOUGHT FOR THE MONTH
”ART
is the coming together of perception, wisdom, intelligence,
discipline, hard work, passion, luck, accident, and coincidence.”
MERRY
CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!
This
will be my last newsletter. Our new President, Pat Reeder will take
over in January. I want to thank all of you for your support of
myself, the Board and our Chapter during the past two years. THANKS!
Please
be sure and check out our blog sight for the projects we have
scheduled for 2016 and get registered by contacting Tirzah at
801-825-2660.
Hope to
see you all at the chapter Christmas party which will be at the
PRAIRIE SCHOONER Saturday, December 5th at 3:00 p.m.
Our
chapter has once again been asked to set up a display table at the
Weber County Holiday Festival. Please be sure to attend this event,
if you can, as it is free and they have a live Nativity Program. This
will be held at the Weber County Fairgrounds December 4th through
December 8th.
God
bless.

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. Checks can be made out to Golden Spike Decorative Painters and mailed to the Chapter at 2825 W 5875 S, Roy, UT 84067.

Marigold Ultramarine Blue
Vermilion Naples Yellow Hue
Wild Grape Napthol Crimson
Raindrop Yellow Deep
Prep Instructions:
Seal piece. I mix sealer in with my first coat of paint. I based the whole piece in Azure mixed with the sealer 1:1. The second coat shouldn’t have any sealer in it, or the piece will feel sticky. Paint area behind the flowers Azure. Paint area behind the butterflies Raindrop.The color behind the compass rose on the top is seedlings. The trim is wild grape. The small trim is Marigold.
Purple borders:
Mix a little white into wild grape and pull a straight stroke vertically all the way around.
Glaze the piece:
When finished base coating all these areas, Use blackberry to glaze color next to any place where the colors meet. To glaze it, side load in black berry and walk the color out. You may want to use retarder medium to give yourself time to walk it out. You can take a mop brush to soften it. Then take rain drop, gold oxide and/or vermilion and dry brush some highlights here and there all over the painted areas.
Transfer design to piece.
