1 c Let It Be Toled Prescott AZ Chapter An affiliated chapter of the Society of Decorative Painters Volume 21, Issue 4 April 2019 Just remember, April showers brings May flowers. April is also Easter time and the Easter bunny. April reminds me of spring and soft colors and the fields full of wild flowers. We have six backpacks painted so far. We have had many members working on the center piece and the backpacks for SDP. It is a wonderful to see so many members pitching in to paint these. Thank you Judy for a wonderful Paint In. Not only did we practice strokes but we were able to paint two pieces and get them done. Everyone did a beautiful job. We did miss a few of our members and hope to see you soon. Don t forget our charities: Memory Boxes and SVdP. Sincerely, your president, Pat Kaminsky

4 THE MARCH PAINT-IN WAS ALL ABOUT STROKEWORK The March Paint in was a focus on strokework. We focused on strokes with a #4 round brush. We practiced many, many strokes on tracing paper before we moved on to the actual projects. Yes, two projects! The first was Spring Strokes by Jamie Mills Price and Judy Lopez. A blended background that featured daisies and a rose. The second was an ornament. Pinecones by Lori Larkey, taught by Judy Lopez. We learned how to use soft strokes to create the curves of the pinecones. The realistic pine needles surrounding the pinecones made it complete. And a little sparkle for snow! There were eight artists in attendance. Which was amazing, since many of them had only just returned the night before from the Las Vegas Painting Convention! Everyone did a great job! The artists were rewarded with wonderful baked goods.

5 PAINT-INS APRIL The April paint-in will be Spring Birds and Flowers on a percolator taught by Bonnie Dominquez designed by Shara Reiner. MAY The May paint-in will be flowers designed by Sandy Aubuchon taught by Cheryl Jacobson. The surface is 6 wide x 14 tall including the routed edge with the painting area being 5 ¼ x 11 ¼ and is available at Michaels (use your 40% coupon), or a surface of your choice. If your piece is taller than 14, there is a pattern available for a larger piece. Cost for supplies is $5 to cover the cost of a special brush to be used on the project which Cheryl will order and have for you in May.

Alarcon Street, Prescott, AZ Please arrive at 9am, as teaching starts at 9:30pm. Cost for each day will be $40.00 with no additional cost for non-members. Hi, for this year s seminar we are fortunate to have Karen Hubbard teaching us two of her designs. You don't want to wait long to sign up for this exciting seminar. We have 10 signups already and space for only 20. The Saturday project is also a brand new design of Karen's never taught before. It is a cute white squirrel on a 10" plate with a pinecone trim all around the rim. We will be ordering the plates for those who want them for $ each, this order needs to be placed on March 4th. The Sunday project is called Moss Raccoon design which can be viewed on Karen's website, Hubbard s Cupboard. I will know surface size needed after Las Vegas Convention. I will be receiving the samples of these two pieces at the Las Vegas Convention from Karen to show and obtain better pictures that will then be updated on the website when I return. For now the pictures shown below are what I have. Pot Luck each day. Water and snacks provided by LIBT Any questions or call me- Bev Morn Seminar Chair Karen Hubbard s Bio: I have always been interested in art and drew and painted a lot as a child, even taking painting classes at the age of 10. I began painting in my 20s, then took 10 years off to raise three daughters, returned to painting in 1974 and haven t stopped since. I painted mostly with oils to begin with, then gradually began to work with acrylics. I wanted to be

9 able to paint very realistic wildlife and developed my now well-known technique for painting fur and feathers, using a round pure sable brush. I generally paint on very smooth surfaces such as wood or Masonite. In 1988, I earned my CDA (Certified Decorative Artist) certificate from the National Society of Decorative Painters. I have taught at conventions and seminars extensively in the US and Canada and Japan, New Zealand, England and Italy for more than 30 ears, have won many Blue Ribbons and honors with my paintings. I live in Eugene Oregon. Karen Hubbard Saturday Sunday

10 The lucky winner of the brush in March was Judy! Show and Tell Pat shared beautiful pieces she painted with acrylics and colored pencils. Show and Tell Las Vegas Convention These are pieces from classes Jo took at the Las Vegas Convention. She will bring them in again after they are completed. This was her first time there and she did awesome!

11 These are the pieces from classes Pat took at the convention. They are exquisitely done and she got them all completed in class! These are the pieces from classes Jody took at the convention. They are beautifully painted as far as she got in class. She will bring them in again after they are completed.

12 All but the stocking on the right are pieces Judy Lopez painted in Vegas. They are strikingly done. The stocking is a piece she shared to show how stoke work can be used. The others that went to Vegas, Bev, Sandy and Cheryl, will bring in their pieces as they are completed. ST.
