The Water Colour and Studies for a Major Work Workshop 10 April 2010

Dear friends,

For the next workshop please bring the following:

• the studies from the last workshop with Patricia. We will use them as a material for further planning of the same still-life. If you did not attend the last work shop you may be able to borrow ideas from somebody else or create your own composition before hand.
• 3 x A4 hot press water colour papers of a high quality (could be purchased from the group resources before the lesson)
• Water colours of a good quality. There will be a couple of spare sets to share for those who did buy one yet.
• hard pencil (not too hard)
• water colour brushes - at least three: broad one (big), medium (round or flat - your preference), small (fine) for delicate details
• white plate to use as a palette (paper, plastic or fine bone china - it's up to you)
• knife
• masking liquid (I will bring some for those who does not have it)
• 2-3 small plastic containers (from butter, dips, snacks etc) - to mix water colour
• a jar for water to wash brushes
• fine Artline pen or ink pen
• a throw away (old) brush - fine (if you can have a bigger throw away brush it will be an advantage)
• tipper (old fashioned ink pen)
• salt (rock and table)- a little bit
• paper tissues

Am I asking too much???

See you in Whian-Whian on Saturday at 10 am.

Notes from Village Artists Meeting February 13, 2010

It was decided to prepare a program of workshops etc for the 1^st Semester – March to end of July.

Workshops where possible will be held on the 2^nd Saturday of the month. We will be using a public venue for the workshops – the first one on March 13 will be held at Tullera Hall. We still need to agree on a permanent venue for future workshops after this one which has good light, facilities and a central location.

It was agreed that our tutors would be paid $100 for a 3 or 4 hour workshop and more for full day or weekend workshops, therefore, members will be asked to contribute a minimum of $20 per workshop or more if numbers are low. NON members will be asked to contribute $30 for tuition.

On our informal days, a contribution of between $5 and $10 is requested as we need to build up funds to purchase equipment and materials. On these days we will be meeting at a private home as we have been doing or in winter, working plein air.

Ros Little has agreed to be our secretary/treasurer – Thank you so much Ros!

We are also planning “excursions” to different galleries to see special exhibitions – eg Brisbane or Tweed and for these we will be hiring a minibus.

There will be an exhibition for friends, family and neighbours etc of the works we have completed at the end of the year – Possibly end of November.

We also encourage members to enter the Bentley Art Prize in July and also the Lismore Portrait Prize in March.

There will be a membership drive and we will be contributing publicity articles to the Dunoon Gazette and Echo etc. in the near future.

There was also a suggestion that we produce an annual calendar displaying our work and proceeds should go to a local charity.
