Hey all – so sorry about the OOPS post last night!
We had some technical difficulties and posted an archived blog by accident… we artists and technology don’t always mesh so well!
Welcome to this week’s
VIRTUAL GALLERY
“From a photo taken by my husband Mike Bush, at Cheyenne Frontier Days in 2019. I edited the rider and saddle out so I could celebrate this beautiful horse.”
“I have found myself playing a lot more with different mediums and ideas. This was made for my 9 year old grand niece’s birthday. I am toying with adding a little yellow glitter on the bananas. The canvas was an acrylic pour and I started layering. Waiting on a frame and hoping she receives it by her birthday this month!”
“This was a fluke but I like it! Being in the Central Valley the Creek Fire influenced this piece as well as the next. I started with acrylic and a palette knife and then started using pastels. I love the texture!”
“Another leap for me. Working in acrylics and an abstract!
The lockdown has given me permission to play!”
“The customer sent a photo of her dog and said she likes art so Dan came up with this cake for her.” – Cheers, Lynn
Thank you, Jay Bonestell” http://www.bonestellstudios.com/about

* * * * CALL FOR INSTRUCTORS * * * *
We have been getting tons of requests for classes lately… Of course, due to Covid restrictions, we can’t host our usual art classes. We want to connect instructors and students!
If you’re an Art Instructor please email us at artcentralslo@yahoo.com – Please include your full name, what you can teach and the age groups you’re willing to teach, your preference of zoom or private home classes, a short bio, some images of your work, contact info for students and/or a website link. We are especially interested in teachers for younger artists, in the range of 5-15 years old. But whether you are able to teach young or more mature, please let us know! There are many folks out there looking for fun online classes and learning experiences!
We can overcome and adapt to this obstacle together and continue to enrich our art community!

Encaustic Demo
| New Demo Video: How To Do A Pour |
| Pouring encaustic medium can allow you to quickly create a smooth even surface for your work. Our newest demo video illustrates two ways to do a pour – one that will create a thicker surface on your panel and a pour-over that works wonderfully with flat panels. You can watch it on R&F’s YouTube channel. Subscribe so you don’t miss any of our upcoming demos. To read our blog post with step-by-step instructions and a helpful tip, visit R&F’s blog Unique Color. Enjoy. Keep painting. |
