Business Meeting & critique, JUNE, 2010
Barbara opened the meeting talking about this past Mother’s Day exhibit at the arboretum. It was a wonderful turnout, as usual, in the park. We had a few sales, Congratulations to those artists.
The club discussed the possibility of participating in a watercolor workshop with Tony Couch in 2011. An art group from Port Jefferson, The Night Herrons, would like to invite other art clubs to obtain enough participants. More information will be announced in the future.
Another possible venue for Wet Paints to hold an exhibit is at the Port Jefferson Village Center. ( www.pjvillagecenter.com ) They have a large area to display works.
The Sayville High School was contacted as to who the recipient will be for our scholarship award, to be given at our annual show in October. They as of yet have not chosen anyone.
Chris Gordon spoke of our upcoming outdoor show at Jamesport Vineyard on July 10th. A sign up sheet was available. The vineyard will be providing a large tent, like last year, for us to display and sell our works. Artists will only need to provide table and/or racks to display their work. Rack rentals from Wet Paints will be available. The vineyard draws many visitors this time of year providing music and wine samples. If you are interested in participating and did not sign up please contact wetpaintsstudio@yahoo.com ASAP.
We had a variety of mediums and subjects for our critique night: beautifully detailed pastels of portraits and still life, a quick sketch of a rooster in pastel; seascapes and a wooded scene in oils; beautifully rendered abstract/still life in charcoal.
We are just getting better and better !!!!!
Volunteers are needed for various positions such
as demo coordinator, models are also needed. If you have a demo person or model to suggest please let Barbara know.
We will currently be holding a sketch night in place of the demo nights for the upcoming months unless announced.
Please be sure to send us your current email address. Last minute announcements can be made more easier.
Member Classifieds will be posted on the website along with Happenings: www.wetpaintsgroup.com. New opportunities will be listed here as space will allow.
