~ Angel and Friends Welcome Flag ~

Wed, June11, 2008 (6-10pm)
1-Session Class
Intermediate Painter
BRUSHES Needed: Old Brushes: Small Flat; Small Stippler; Liner
COST: $16
(Please be sure to indicate Cloth color preference and Gown color preference)

Painting on Fabric can be fun! We’ll be painting this endearing Angel and her friends on an apprx. 14″x17″ linen-like cloth that will have a pocket for a dowel rod and ribbon for hanging. There are three different cloth colors to choose from Blue, Green and Butter. You may paint the gown a different color if you choose and the angel may hold a heart, if you prefer. “WELCOME” will be written in an arc above the angel… A sweet painting!

~ Marbleized Herbal Clay Pot ~
(May be planting Herbs following Painting Session)

Wed, June 4, 2008 (6-10pm)
1-Session Class
Intermediate / Beginner Painter
BRUSHES Needed: Basecoat Brush; 5/8″Angle; #1Liner
COST of Painting 10″ Pot (No Herbs/Soil): $20 (includes 5 metal plant stakes)
COST of Painting 12″ Pot (No Herbs/Soil): $24 (includes 5 metal plant stakes)
COST of Soil and Herbs for planting to be determined.

COME and PAINT and PLANT with ME !!! First Learn to do a Marbleizing Technique using different tools such as sponges and feathers that I will provide for you. Once the Pot is dry, we’ll quickly varnish. Then, if you want to purchase the soil and herbs, we’ll go to the back patio (weather permitting) to plant five different fragrant herbs and you can then use your aluminum or copper metal stakes for identification purposes. You can paint “H-E-R-B-S” on the side of the pot if you like. I’m looking forward to this class as it means that summer is really here!!

~ Common Yellowthroat ~
(OIL Class)

Wed/Thurs, May 28 and 29, 2008 (6-10pm)
1 (possibly 2) -Session Class
Beginner Oil Painter

COST on Lid of Large, Wood Box: $26 (if completed in One session, Cost is $23.)

This delightful scene of a Common Yellowthroat came about as I was thinking about what companion painting could be done to coordinate with a previous oil painting that we’ve done (American Goldfinch). This particular bird nests in the field thickets behind our house. Choice of painting on board or book box. Technique: Oil painting for beginner.
