New Wood shipment at the studio!
\We have just received a new shipment of wood painting surfaces from Leon at In The Barn Wood Design. And you know what an excellent job he does with woodworking. Come shop!
     

We’re painting mirrors!
One of our painters, Barb Watts who is a member of ALTA, the Assistance League of The Triangle, has brought us mirrors, a little used and needing paint, that have been donated to the ALTA thrift shop. Some of our painters have volunteered to paint a mirror which will then be for sell in the thrift shop. ALTA is a wonderful organization that helps triangle women and children in need. You can find information on ALTA at www.altriangle.org. If you would like to help us by painting a mirror, contact me at Artful Endeavors. You can paint anything you would like for adult or child. No time limit. I have a limited number of mirrors at the studio. This is a great opportunity to help those in need in our own community.

The ALTA, Antiques to Zippers, resale thrift shop also would gratefully accept any other painted items, or unpainted, that you would like to donate. They are located at 1689-A North Market Dr, just off of Old Wake Forest Rd. Have you asked yourself “Who can I paint that for?” Now you know.

The portrait is painted by Carol Burns in our Jan portrait class.

Ronnie Bringle Seminar April 29 & 30, 2008:
Our seminar with Ronnie Bringle was a big success. Intensive painting, 8 hr days of painting, so nice to just concentrate on work on one painting.
The portraits turned out exciting and we learned so much. Ronnie is great about showing you the details that create a true likeness. We worked with JoSonja paints using Ronnie's techniques that work so well with portraits.
And Santa was so much fun. We still had some painting to finish but all the Santa's were looking handsome. Beards are great.www.ronniebringle.com

Kathie George - Sept 29 & 30, 2008
Watercolor, Mixed media, & Batik Kathie 2008 Registration Form

We are excited to have Kathie George, a well known watercolor and batik artist, at Artful Endeavors for two days of sharing her wonderful art techniques. Her work is primarily water media or collage, but she is best known for her ‘watercolor batik on rice paper’ work.

From Kathie’s web site: “As a workshop instructor for over 25 years, Kathie is known for her friendly, informative and energetic approach to teaching. Her students say “she has an innate ability to know what a student needs and then show them how to get there.” No doubt this may be one reason students return to her workshops over and over again.

Kathie George’s award winning work can be found in many corporate and private collections in the US and abroad. She has twice been a finalist in Artist Magazine’s Art Competition (among 14,000 entrants) and her work was featured in their Limited Edition Calendar in 2001, and again in 2007.

Kathie has authored 5 watercolor books and written numerous magazine articles for well-known artist magazines. She’s a signature member of both the Ohio and Florida Watercolor Societies.”

Don't miss this unique opportunity to share this painting experience with Kathie.

Papers and paints are included in the seminar fee.
