The adrenaline was pumping as the artists raced to complete their works, learning to focus on priorities, on values, and simplifying. In the first morning block the master artist Jon Houghton discussed his palette anddemonstrated his painting approach using his assistant Steven Rogers as model. Beginning most of the remaining 5 time blocks further instruction was provided, covering cool/warm tones and where typically found on a face, painting eyes realistically yet simplifying, an alternate palette, and choosing backgrounds. In between we were entertained and enlightened by Jon's vast knowledge and anecdotes of his life endeavors as an artist.

Many thanks to our valued members who renewed their memberships through 2021.
IMPORTANT: Open sessions are being tested and debugged in order to establish a COVID-19 working process. So, indoor sessions are currently limited to 9 participants using masks and social distancing as needed. Outdoor sessions require social distancing as necessary. A question on how to handle overflow or standing-room-only is under discussion.
The Guild's Annual Meeting (formerly scheduled for March 28, 2020) has been postponed due to Coronavirus concerns. It will be rescheduled for later in the year.
Thank you for understanding.
