Lilacs and Sun by Paul Brand

Avoid distant views, paint objects close up. If the foreground is well done, the distance will take care of itself. By having the big lines of the composition go out of the canvas, your imagination can wander beyond the edge. It will make it seem part of a large composition. Have as much fun as you can and don't feel the edge of your canvas confines you–let your vision go right on.

–Charles Hawthorne

These three sessions will focus on light and shadow, perceiving value relationships, and understanding "light logic" including cast shadow, form shadow and reflected light. We will introduce several techniques for creating value in a drawing, including subtractive drawing and repetitive mark-making. Details to follow.

Help Create a Mosaic of Member's Artwork at TAC.

The Club is creating a mosaic of member's artwork using 5.75 inch square wood panels. Any subject, any medium. The panels will be mounted on a display board to create a mosaic which will be permanently on exhibit at the Club. Here's your chance to have your artwork displayed at the Club for all eternity. :-) It would be great to have every member make a "tile" for the mosaic!

Blank panels are available at the Club at no cost. We hope to install the mosaic in June, but panels can be added after that date as they come in. Create a panel, proudly sign it and bring it to the Club during regular business hours.

Items of interest

• Our roster is growing. In April, 23 new members joined the Club! We are such a vital organization, hopping with new energy, activities and ideas.
• Looking for more 3-D work. The club is eager to attract artists working in three dimensions. Outdoor art for the garden is of special interest. Member Bob Coffield sold two large sculptures this year, both of which had been displayed outside the Club.
• The Artist's Showcase is open to all members. The walls of the Studio are a SHOWCASE for members work. Bring framed artwork or 3D pieces to the Club for show and for sale.
