We're back!!!
Seems like forever, doesn't it? Well, maybe not; a number of us met up for our Changing-of-the-Seasons Sketching Party. This one may have been a little late and not quite as "plein air" as the other seasons, but there was no lack of subject matter or merriment.
Meanwhile, back to painting! We got off to a slow start, what with the requisite catching up and the room feeling like a sauna. But when we finally got down to business, we sure remembered how to work those brushes.
We start with our famous plaids (both Ken and the newbies) and seque into flowers, fruits, nuts and people. Ah, it's good to be back!
Wait, there's more—contests! We all buy art supplies (these masterpieces don't just paint themselves, after all LOL). And now, two of our favorite purveyors of fine supplies are running contests.
Please enter....or encourage your favorite artist to enter. They're both free. First, Blick in downtown Chicago is looking for art around the theme of "Dreams." The deadline is February 1, so there's not a lot of time to waste! See details in the flyer below.
And Daniel Smith is running their 11th Annual Customer Art Contest. This one runs continuously through May with weekly and monthly winners. So it's never too late to enter. Follow this link to enter (or vote). And even if you don't plan to do either, follow the link anyway—there's some fascinating reading there.
See you next week!
