2019 April Newsletter

Hi all you fellow painters out there,

It's April, the birds are singing, the flowers are blooming and it's still raining (and snowing), and our first seminar of the year was coming up on the 18th and 19th with Bill Bayer, but Bill had to cancel due to unsafe driving weather. We are working on rescheduling the seminar for later this year. Bill was a student of Bob Ross and is a darn good oil painter. We hope you will join us later for his seminar.  

On May 11th we're having a High Tea social. Check out the details and generous and delicious menu on the blog newsletter.

On June 22nd we will be having a Beginner Class. If you know anyone who is interested in learning to paint bring them to our 'Paint and Pizza' Saturday paint-in.

Prez,
Lydia

April Bill Bayer Seminar   ---   Canceled due to weather
Bill “Ridley” Bayer began painting as a hobby in 1988. The following year he studied with Bob Ross and became a certified instructor of Bob’s wet on wet technique. He has since studied with many other well know artists developing his own style of painting. Bill has published five instructional books and three DVD's titled "Down Roads... Less Traveled" showcasing his talents. Bill uses his middle name “Ridley” as his signature. Ridley was also his grandfather’s name and Bill signs his paintings in “Paps” honor. Bill and his wife Fran live in St. Louis Mo and many of Bill’s compositions are inspired by the beautiful countryside surrounding their home. Bill paints in oils, acrylic and watercolor and travels across the country teaching the techniques he has learned.
