Happy New Year Dear Art Friends!
|

We at the ArtiFactory hope you all had a restful and happy winter break and are ready to kick off this new year with an energetic “Hoorah”.

(We are kind of ignoring the remainder of January.) Nothing much happens after New Year’s Eve anyway. This painting, “January” depicts a January cookie tin….
left over Christmas and early Valentine’s Day.
We have started plans for some new and interesting shows and classes starting in February, so look for details as they are posted.

I know a lot of us don’t read the “Wall Street Journal”, and so missed this story, but we made it big time! On January 9 they ran a story by Judith Dobrzynski, “Stanley Museum of Art: More than “Mural”. It’s a very flattering article with great pictures of some of our favorite pieces.

|
We will also be resuming our foiling and drawing sessions, so sign up! It’s time to think “Spring” and create cards for Valentines, Easter, and Mothers Day. We plan to begin a watercolor class in February as well.
Get your garden seed orders in! Spring is in the forecast! I read that someplace. Maybe the WSJ!

Body Parts

Your leader in this effort is Beppie Weiss. She has drawn and painted hundreds, maybe thousands, of portraits and people drawings, and will help you improve your own drawing skills. Our class will work on drawing all the body parts from different positions. Our goal will be to understand how it all comes together, and be able to draw it with more accuracy. ...more
