REMINDER OF THE HOLIDAY CLOSING AT SANDY SENIOR CENTER

The guild has resumed meetings on Mondays and Thursdays at the center. In the cafe both days, 1:30-3:30. No classes are scheduled at this time and no fees will be collected until January 2022. Masks and social distancing for those without vaccinations. Our friend VERNA HENDRICKS is a cancer survivor of 10 years or so, and is immuno-compromised. Despite vaccinations, her immunity to covid is not there. So please, when you are notified to wear masks and observe distancing at our art sessions, take it to heart so we can keep Verna with us. Thank you for that.

I hope as the year 2021 progresses we will regain our equilibrium, get up to speed and have the ability to safely congregate for classes, demos and just plain friendship. 

My appreciation to each of you for the sweet support and concern expressed these past months of personal challenge and loss. We've all had so much to bear! The best part of the Guild is the enduring friendship, trust and sharing that happens. 

Be well, be strong, be happy, dear friends, and keep your brushes wet. 

I hope to see everyone soon.

In case you haven't found freewatercolor.com, here is a link to one of the videos, with a 'primrose path' to other links once you're there. Enjoy! And maybe share your work? Thanks. Be well, be strong, be happy. And keep your brushes wet! Karla

A new Blogger format is coming by the end of June! We'll see how this goes. You don't need to do anything; the page has just been "updated." Yikes. A learning curve for Karla. 

Today's news is this: 

https://mailchi.mp/cheapjoes.com/join-us-for-a-free-tom-lynch-digital-watercolor-workshop-763235?e=5f6c7e1bc9

A free workshop! 

Thanks to all of you who have checked in, sent photos of your work, and have let me know that you are well in this weird time. With the virus still on the rise in Utah, we must not become complacent. Social Distancing, masks, good hygiene; we need to be our own best advocates for health. Sandy Senior Center doesn't have an opening date yet. I hope our little guild will hold together regardless. I value each and every one of you. You and the guild are a central facet to my calm and happy existence. Our "no drama" tribe is a wonder. Thank you, all. Now go get those brushes wet! I hope to be able to sit long enough to scribble something soon.

Barb Glick sends greetings and info from UWS

Barb would like you all to know about upcoming events through Utah Watercolor Society. Here is the link for virtual activities, ideas and a message from the director of UWS:

utahwatercolor.org

We missed a live demo last night which is available on youtube for UWS members only. Check email for the link to that private video, but you already know that if you're a member. 😀

The rest of us might find something interesting there. They have a really nice web page. 

I hope you're all well, safe, happy. Keep on keeping on, all! I'm having long-delayed back repair next week and hope to be back on two reliable legs again soon. 

Peace and good health to all.

Bonnie Tollefson says HELLO, EVERYONE!

I just had a nice chat with Bonnie Tollefson, and she asked me to send along her greetings and best wishes to everyone. She is settling in to her new home in California, but misses her Utah connections. I asked her to keep in touch, and she allowed me to share a beautiful poured painting she posted on facebook.

This is the link: https://scontent-den4-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/94483999_2332474353719670_502720652071927808_n.jpg?_nc_cat=101&_nc_sid=8024bb&_nc_oc=AQk9430zd7E6rtsTIktNbeSStq6-kWBvfBHts6GsskOc-9b_nt6IOn1Z1P6QgsecalU&_nc_ht=scontent-den4-1.xx&oh=0d2e7919619fc5ccda4c0ade3d911a92&oe=5EC2715F&dl=1
I hope it opens for you! And if not, check it out on the Sandy Watercolor Guild Facebook page.

I hope everyone is continuing in good health. If the Sandy Center opens soon, I encourage anyone who feels safe to go, to do so. I need to remain sequestered in the event my surgery can go forward, so I'll ask to be excused for a while longer.
I hope you're keeping your brushes wet! :D

Karla

Look at this fantastic opportunity!

I hope everyone is staying healthy and finding plenty of ways to fill your time.

Here is an amazing online gallery from some of the world's cities. Amazing. Enjoy! kn

IMPORTANT NOTICE FROM SANDY SENIOR CENTER and SWG:

In an effort to control the spread of covid-19, Sandy Senior Center has given notice that beginning tomorrow, Friday, March 13, 2020, the center will be closed to all activities and events until further notice. SWG will endeavor to keep you updated and we'll work with our presenters to postpone/reschedule all of the fun Barb Glick has put together for us. Thanks. Keep your brushes wet!

Kathy Hoffman has made a great suggestion: Keep painting, and we'll have a share day when this is past. Yes! Let's!
 Feel free, also, to post your photos to Karla (sandywatercolorinfo@gmail.com) and I'll try to get them to this blog or to our Facebook page: Sandy Watercolor Guild. 
Be well everyone. Wash your hands often, use alcohol or peroxide wipes and spray to keep surfaces clean such as your steering wheel, doors on your car, key fob, phone, etc. Scrub the world off the minute you enter your home. Stay away from crowds. Call your medical provider for advice if you do feel sick; there will be contingent facilities for assessment: Don't take a chance on exposing others, especially our hard-working medical personnel. I hope there will be test kits and vaccines available for everyone soon. 
My best to you all, and I hope we'll be together again soon. 
Karla

Wow. Look at these from Lucy Beale Partridge!

Wow! I'm ready to "up my game!" Are you? This is what we'll be doing on Feb. 15, Saturday workshop with Lucy. Get your seat now! $45members$70 non-members. Checks payable to Sandy Senior Center. 

LUCY BEALE PARTRIDGE WORKSHOP FEB. 15

Here is the information you need for Lucy's workshop coming SOON! Be sure to sign up for this fun day Saturday, Feb.15! 


Adding textures to your watercolor paintings.



I am excited to show you the textural techniques I use for my watercolor paintings. See below. They’re fun to use and give interesting and sometimes unexpected results. You’ll practice many of these techniques and paint a landscape or flowers from your source photos. 



Using textural technique can be a bit messy, so bring an apron or old shirt (I wear one of my husband’s.) 



You’ll paint two-three paintings.

For textural techniques to give you the best results, use the paper and paints recommended below.

SUPPLY LIST: 


1. 140-pound watercolor paper, preferably Fabriano Artistico extra white cold press. Bring 2-4 quarter sheets (11 x 14 inches). Arches 140-pound cold press also works. Don’t use 300 pound as it's is too absorbent. Watercolor notebook paper or blocks won’t give you good results. 



2. Masking tape and support on which to tape paper, such as gator board, pressed board and plastic corrugated board.



3. At least 3 tubes of artist-quality watercolor paint. If you can only bring 3, bring Daniel Smith quinacridone rose, French ultramarine, and quinacridone gold.- a red, blue and yellow. If not, Winsor Newton artists grade is ok. Don’t use pressed pan paints or studio-grade tube paints. (I will bring a couple extra tubes of paint and you're welcome to share if you don’t already have these or similar colors. Amazon.com has the best price on Daniel Smith paints.) 


4. Large round and flat brushes. Preferably size 12, 14, 16 ,plus. Bring a couple smaller brushes for detail work. A 3/4 inch to 1-inch flat brush works well. Smaller brushes won’t work for washes.



5. Spray water bottle, water containers (larger rather than small - holds a quart or more), pencil, eraser, palette, paper towels, plastic trash bag. Bring what you already have and you can share with other class members. I’ll bring waxed paper and cling wrap.



6. 3-4 source photos of landscapes and/or flowers. Bring more than one.



&. Nice to have but not necessary. Watercolor pencils and crayons, acrylic inks in dropper bottles, granulating medium, masking fluid, alcohol in dropper bottle, oil pastel crayons, salt, stamps and stencils, X-acto knife. Titanium white tube paint. We can share.

Greetings of the Season!

It's a busy time for everyone. Since it's the Christmas dinner this Thursday, (if this is news to any member, please contact me immediately! Arrrrgh! We sent postcards but...) 
Where was I... oh yes: Thursday afternoon is still open to anyone who wants to go paint in a quiet space, but in light of the busyness of that evening and the days ahead in general, we won't plan anything in particular, and I can't be there that afternoon. 
Thanks, and Happy Everything to all of you. I hope to see you all in the new year. SSC will have open and closed days; I suggest you check with them for the schedule during the holidays.
Feliz Passthewine!

Third Thursday this week!

It's Blick Night at SWG this week! Thursday, Nov. 21 at 5:30. 

NOTICE: EIKO ANDERSON CANCELLED

This Thursday was to have been "Chinese brushwork on rice paper" during our regular Thursday afternoon time. Eiko has had to cancel, so it will be monkey business as usual. :D Sorry...but come and paint anyway. We can check out youtube offerings, work from a DVD from our library, or simply come and work in our nice space at SSC. 

Reminder: Thursday, Nov. 7

We're planning a different sort of Thursday afternoon on November 7 when we host Eiko Anderson. She'll help us practice Chinese brush painting on rice paper. This will be during our regular afternoon session at SSC: 1-3:30 pm. Bring your mop brushes and have a nice afternoon. Free to members and guests. SWG will provide rice paper for practice.

You missed a fun workshop!

Sherrill Gordon's workshop, painting on stretched silk panels was crazy fun and pretty successful for the attendees. Painting on silk is very much like watercolor. You have to have control of your water in ways you can't even imagine! Wooo hooo! The paint we used is specific to the task; very liquid and clean colors. The pigment and water travel in unexpected ways bringing joy and devastation in turn. But it was a fun day!
kn

SHERRILL GORDON WORKSHOP SATURDAY!

A reminder that Sherrill Gordon will conduct her painting on framed silk  this Saturday, Oct. 26. We'll set up at 9:30, finish at 3:30-ish. THERE WILL BE ONLY A BRIEF BREAK SO PLEASE BRING A LUNCH, in order to best use our time. 
A $10 materials fee will be collected at the class so please plan accordingly. 
There is still space for anyone interested but I need to let Sherrill have a final count by tomorrow, Thursday. $45/$70 non members.

Please bring brushes and water jar.

Lucy Beale Partridge August 15

Here's what's happening on our Third Thursday, August 15, 2019. You'll want to be there!

LUCY BEALE PARTRIDGE will be our presenter, and it will be a work-with:

Learn 18 ways to enliven your paintings.

Lucy Beale will show you 20 techniques for creating textures.

Bring your paintbox, brushes, water container, and plenty of paper for making samples. Perhaps 18 sheets. (sample size, kids)

Keep your samples to create your own reference book. 

Bring any supplies you have that you already use to create textures such as stamps, ex-acto knife, pencils, and more.

Warmly, Lucy
