Happy
Birthday to me this month!
Someone set me this little chickie to show me

The class for April, was the acrylic bluebird babies that I took from
Marlene Kreutz at State Retreat. I taught it twice
and really enjoyed doing it!

I am planning Mary Gibilisco's color study with fruit
(in oils) in July. It will be at least a 4 week
project.
Cost is $35 if you bring your own paints.
Surface is 11x14 masonite
Prep surface by
sponge rolling on 2 coats of a medium gray
acrylic. Trace the pattern, but do not
transfer pattern before class,
Paint colors:
Titanium White
Cad Yellow Pale
Bright Red or Cad Red
Alizarin Crimson
Ultramarine Blue
Burnt Umber
Raw Sienna
The first class is proofing the
pattern and
doing the background.
January 24, 2009 Betty Dowe taught a wonderful class in the
Telemark style of rosemaling. We worked hard and all
we have left to do are some finishing touches.
