2022 October Newsletter
The
Witch Banner we did with Tirzah was really fun. There were some very
ugly/cute greenfaced witches to be seen!
Helen
will be teaching a Winter Tree and Forest Friends on watercolor paper
in October.
We have
moved the Cookie exchange to November when we will be doing a Fridge Magnet/Note pad with Tirzah. It should be both enjoyable
and tasty, so watch the newsletter for more information.

Prep
Instructions:
Trace
pattern onto your watercolor paper (140 lb). I find it easy to tape
the paper to a window (as in Carol Sphon's class) and trace.
Wet
your paper and splatter with Mouse. This allows for the color to
spread. Let paper dry for a moment and then pat excess water off the
paper. This step may be repeated to achieve the affect you desire.
Note:
This painting technique
requires you to stay within the lines with very light washes of
color. If you do go out of the lines, you need to have a damp towel
or cotton swab to pat and remove the color from the area.
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.
