President’s Message

Ann Galt

Speaking of Workshops...We have an exciting line up of workshops this year.

Upcoming are Shelley Young and Bruce Robertson—both award winners at

the 2016 Small Works Exhibition—and Iain Stewart—national award winner

and incredible watercolor artist. CVC had David Lobenberg’s fun California

Vibe Workshop this summer and will host Robert Burridge in October.

I have been thinking about the value of workshops and the opportunity

workshops provide for UWS members. Financially, our goal is to break even on

workshops. So we try to make them an economical value to you, but to our

organization, also. Did you know that our workshops help support our

exhibitions? We try to keep entry fees under control so that you can enter our

exhibitions on a regular basis, but exhibition expenses can add up. This often

means the exhibitions need subsidies. These subsidies come from our

workshops. But more than economics, workshops invigorate. They provide

incentive and energy. They reinforce. Workshops provide new skills. Don't we

want to learn new ways to express ourselves—to make our paintings stand out

and represent our intent? New skills allow us to experiment. Workshops provide

new or alternative points of view. Or maybe the information finally just clicks.

You hear the information in a new way and enter the process with more

confidence. A specific instructor speaks to you more than others have. New

processes evolve your work. They assist you to develop your idea in a more

meaningful, expressive way. Sue Martin recently told the Sandy Guild members,

“If you want to paint differently, change your process.” Workshops are about

you. They are a gift to yourself. They offer concentrated painting time with those

of like mind. With other artists you get support, feedback, and encouragement.

You learn. And what could be better than that. Knowledge is power and practice

makes you successful in the eyes of the person that matters most...you...the

watercolor artist. So, take workshops. Enjoy the camaraderie, learn from

accomplished instructors, and make the time to paint for yourself. You are worth

it and you are probably better than you think!

Come join the Paint Out fun this year!

UWS Past President, Sue Martin,

presents a mini workshop exploring

the many possibilities of painting the

same subject matter repeatedly.

Variations on a Theme: Why paint

the same thing over and over?

Participants will work from their own

reference photo and create a body of

work (at least 4 paintings), using a

single reference. Students will vary

mood and meaning by changing

design elements (color, composition,

texture, value, etc.), and adding other

water media (ink, gouache, graphite,

collage, etc.). This will be a safe

place to experiment and have fun!

All mini workshops will be 9am-4pm

at SUP Building. 3301 E. 2920 S.

(Louise Ave) SLC, UT (unless

otherwise specified).

We met on West Center Street in Logan which is famous for some of the

classic older homes in town. Each member picked out the house and the

aspect that appealed most and went about drawing and painting, as they

chose. Just before lunch, we gathered for a short critique. After lunch, another

street was chosen and the process repeated.

We appreciate Margaret’s new approach to plein air, and learning about a wider

national and international community who are organized in this effort. We also

welcome Margaret as our newest UWS-CVC member, as she joined right after

the “sketch crawl” was over.

The UWS-CVC board includes both veterans and newcomers, and we are all

looking forward to learning our new duties. We expect a great year of learning

and practicing the fascinating art of watercolor painting.

News From the North – UWS Cache Valley Chapter (CVC)

President’s Message

This summer CVC had some wonderful plein air

activities. For one of these paint-outs, it was

suggested to a member by a local artist and teacher,

Margaret Pettis, to try ‘sketch-crawl.’ Margaret invited

us to join her in a “sketch crawl.” I had never heard of

this idea, but it is apparently an international

phenomenon. You can read more about this at

www.sketchcrawl.com.

With a Touch of Perspective and a

Touch of Design!

Saturday, October 15th. 9am-4pm.

(Location TBA)

Learn a simple method to lighten or

darken a main color to get vibrant

results. Create eye catching

personally designed shapes,

discover one and two point

perspective, and experiment with

color arrangement. These methods

are fun and can aid in enhancing

your watercolor compositions.

“I believe in basics which are

the building blocks to use to

express ourselves in satisfying

and sound compositions.”

Registration is $35 (check payment

made out to UWS/CVC). Payment

must be sent to Laura Hawley.

"David was charming, humorous and a

very caring instructor. He offered simple

clarifications and helpful exercises that

allowed each of us to explore, nurture

and release our own personal vibes in

brilliant colors. One of the most

entertaining sessions I've attended.”

~Dianne Sigfreid
