It was so much fun!

Carita was our instructor for the evening as she lead us
 in our paint-a-long.



Trying to make a masterpiece out of it.







Here we all are posing for our group photo
with the fun paintings we did.
You can do it Shirley!

1st Life Drawing Class

We kicked off our first Life Drawing Class last Saturday.  Our model was Heidi Holzbach.  She was an absolute natural at it.  We can't wait to have her back.  We had a wonderful turnout.  



If you would like to join us just come by with your sketch pad and pencils and jump right in.  We plan on having a Life drawing class every Saturday unless there is a workshop scheduled.  There is a $10 fee to cover the cost of the model and custodial costs.  We will start around 10am and go for 2-3 hours.  
Linda & Linney seriously trying to capture Heidi's features.

Can't wait till next Saturday!

Almost Done

Its looking good!





We've got some artwork hung.







We started painting the front door and bathroom.  
I'll have updates on them when they are done on the next post.

Working Hard

Here's Debra working on the platform.  Remember, Measure Twice Cut Once! 

Linney is not too fond of saw dust.


Put that saw down! Anyone who smiles like that with a saw in their hands is a serial killer.


Here is the finished platform. 

I think Sally wants to be our first model.  She's proud of the hat she found at the new resale shop down the street.

Until next time.

Its Coming Along

 We have been working like trojans to get things going.  
Some of us working on site and some behind the scenes.  

We all have gone through our garages and attics to see what we have to 
contribute like rugs, chairs, tables, easels and art supplies.

Debra built a platform for our models.  In this photo above its still in progress.  
There will be a picture of the finished platform in the next post.

This is going to be our little mini office.  

(Carita & Linney discussing their ideas for the art center)

Thursday was painting day as usual.  We took the day off from all the work and painted (sort of).  Let's not forget what we are doing all of this for.  Painting! Right?

Come Monday, we are going to try to get some artwork hung and displayed.
We are tentatively going to have a Life Drawing Class on Sat, June 12th 10a-2p
This will be our first event held at the art center to get things going.

Paint Away!
