I recently met another artist at the County Fair while he and his wife were picking up their paintings that had won pretty much all the ribbons that two artists could win.  This photo was one of his wonderful paintings, done on Yupo paper with watercolor.

Today, I met him again, but this time at the Sandy Senior Center, where he was introducing himself, as John Fackrell.  He was interested in teaching watercolor classes at the center because he had participated in our art show last November and we had made a very good impression!

I wrangled him up to Charlie's office to inquire whether or not the center would be a good fit and the answer was YES!  So here are the details!

On Thursdays, every Thursday, from September 10th through Oct. 15th, John will be teaching an Advanced Watercolor Workshop.  That's a 6 week course, from 1 pm until 3:45 pm and the cost to attend is a minimal $35 per person.  You of course are the first to know about this workshop, so you are being given first priority!  Seating is going to be limited to just 14, so if you are interested you will need to call me (Cindy) at 801 674 9503 to reserve your seat.  Payment will need to be paid to: Sandy Senior Center and dropped off at the center before September 5th!  The address of the center is 9310 S. 1300 E., Sandy Utah 84094.  I will be updating this information with a supply list in a few days.  John is working on it.  :-D  Hope to see you there!  Call me!  

Virginia Kimball Watercolor Classes

There have been some changes with the Canyon Community Education that has been scheduling Virginia's classes, they have recently downsized their adult programs in favor of their new Alternative School and after school programs.  In order to continue offering her watercolor classes, Virginia has made some changes herself.  She now offers 4, two hour time slots at her in home/studio.  The classes she will be offering, begin on:
Wed. September 16th 5:30-7:30 & 7:30-9:30 and on Thursday 5:30-7:30 & 7:30-9:30.  These are 8 week courses for $65.  If you have other commitments, but can make a few of these classes, you can pay as you go, for just $10 per class!  Day classes will be considered if enough interest is shown.

These classes will be similar to those of the past, however, without the school restrictions,you will
have the freedom to explore and do more experimental work.  Virginia has been taking workshops all summer and is excited to share her experience and new found knowledge with you.  If you are interested in signing up for Virginia's classes or you have more questions, please give her a call at: 801 571 6288, or email her at: vkimball14@gmail.com

Friday Gathering with Sandi Olson

Every 1st & last Fridays of each month, Sandi Olson teaches watercolor classes out on Redwood Road between 106th and 114th at the Jordan Senior Center.  (West Side of street by the Rec. Center- sorry I don't know the exact address but it's easy to find).  It's 10-Noon and for $3 per session, you can come and paint for a couple of hours and Sandi is there to help teach us some fun watercolor projects. 
I missed last week but the painting was of rocks and the photos below show you the photo the class was working on and one of the students paintings. 
This coming Friday, we will be working on a still life arrangement that Sandi will be setting up for us.  Come and join the fun!
