Blick Art Materials

Fur and Feathers Animal Portrait Contest

Hello,

Just wanted to let you know that I am teaching several one-day,
semi-private, art lessons at my Hope Valley Home/Studio this month (June).
If you, or someone you know, is interested in some one-on-one art training
this may be the right fit. I am hosting 2 to 4 students per day so everyone
gets lots of personal attention to work on your specific concerns. You can
come for 1 day or several. Just sign up in advance so I know who to expect
and limit the number. Let me know what medium you want to work in and some
information on what things you want us to concentrate on. Watercolor, oil,
pastel, acrylic?

Contact me by e-mail at thaleia@directcon.net (cell phone is very unreliable
her)

Class Fee is $75/day payable to Thaleia's Fine Arts

Start time is 10AM until about 4PM with an hour lunch break.

Directions to get here will be given to you when you contact me.

Materials List will be decided per individual depending on medium and scope
of work.

Current Schedule Monday June 8

Wednesday June 17

Monday June 22

Monday June 29

Thank you. Thaleia Georgiades

SATURDAY MORNING PLEIN AIR PAINTING with Bobbi Baldwin

Join me most Saturday mornings at 8:00 AM.

We will leave from a meeting place close to the painting location of that week. I will send you an email announcing where prior to that paint out. I have a group of painters that are just starting out with Plein Air painting and it's open to anyone who wants to learn. Please RSVP so that we know who to wait for! And, don't be intimidated; please join us! You won't learn to do it, if you don't try. If you are afraid to try yet, just come by and visit while we paint; You will see how fun this is.

The paintings will be two hour paintings.
You can create two in a four hour period or just one. Depending on our location and our arrival time.
$20 per person for my feedback and instruction.
I will be painting as well, so you will have the chance to watch and learn through the demo. (This is not a lecture demo. I give that in the FREE plein air 'how to' lectures. But, I will be giving you direct ideas in the process of the mornings.)
