February Meeting/Paint In

I know all of you enjoyed Margaret's tips and techniques last month. Sorry I was unable to attend. I have a bug that just won't let go even when I think it is over it snaps right back to me. At any rate, other than a sore throat I am better and I hate that I missed the meeting.

To start off this new year Margaret has offered to teach the Long Legged Chicken Tote at the next meeting. She has found tote bags that are approximately 8 1/2" x 11" for you to paint on. This looks like a fun class so come prepared. You will need to bring the following:

A piece of cardboard to support the tote while painting (about 8 1/2" x 11")

Ultra Fine Sharpie Pen to outline the design

Grey graphite or use the General's Carcoal - 557-HB hard we used in Linda Sellars class

Your regular painting supplies - brushes, water container, tracing paper, palette, etc.

Paints and the tote will be supplied by the teacher. (Tote in picture does not represent the actual size of the tote.)

Cost: $15 per student

Lunch will be pot luck.

Remember the meeting starts at 10 am - PLEASE be on time so we can have a short meeting and get to painting. Also, check the sidebars to see the dates for the meetings this year along with who will be teaching.

I hope you have all received the information I sent out about national teachers coming to our area clubs. If you haven't, email me so I can have your email on file. See you next month,
