March Paint In

I know you are all expecting a newsletter in the mail but unfortunately that will not happen this month.  I am still working on a new program and when I feel comfortable enough and not as stressed out I will start doing the newsletter, hopefully, by the end of March.  At any rate, this little blog will have to suffice. 

As you know from the last meeting, Sherry had planned to teach this Saturday but is unable to do so.  I will fill in for her with a canvas project - A calla lily on canvas.  I will supply the paints and canvas - you just bring your normal painting supplies.  The cost will only be for the canvas which I will get at Michaels as they have them on sale.  If you prefer to bring your own it will be on an 8x10 canvas.  The background will be a blue black which we will do in the classroom.  Please bring a hair dryer and a mop brush if you have one.  I have a few extras that I am willing to loan.  I am attaching a picture of the one I did in oils on an 8x16 canvas.  If I can find this size canvas at a reasonable price I will pick up a few, if not we will stick with the 8x10.  Of course, if you have an 8x16 and want to use it the pattern will fit nicely.  This is really a simple project with a limited color palette.  The photo shows more blue but ours will have a bit more softer look with a bit of grey.  I think you will like it.

Don't forget to bring a covered dish as the class will continue until at least 2 pm.  We all love our raffles so feel free to bring something in (in a brown bag please) to be offered up throughout the class.  If you aren't wearing your name tag - get that quarter out!!  Got any new tips or techniques, websites, blogs, etc., and would like to share them with the club, please forward an email to me so I can have a full newsletter to send out. 

We really want to thank Diane for the Painting on Rocks class she gave last month.  I do have photos of last months class but I will have to download later this week - so stay tune. 

Make one final check here on Friday to find out if I have added anything to this post.  Things come up at the last minute and I will insert them prior to the meeting.  The meeting will start at 10 am - Look forward to seeing all of you then.  Call me if you have any questions.  See you then,

PS - I have purchased 8"x10" canvases.  I did find 8"x16" canvases at Hobby Lobby but the cost was $6.99 each and that was a little pricey for Saturdays class.
