1. Julyan Davis, Oil — April 12-14, 2010 — $250
2. Alan McCarter, Acrylic — May 10-12, 2010 — $250
Each is a 3-day workshop, and will be held at the usual location:

To sign up please print out the application and mail to me, with your check, to the address at the bottom of the application, or you may give it to me at ALHC meetings.
When I receive your application and check, or if you have already sent in your application and check, you will receive a confirmation by email (or mail).
Possible Watercolor and Pastel workshops are being considered and information will be emailed to you (and available at meetings) as soon as they are finalized.
******************************************
IMPORTANT:
We are considering a local 3-day Watercolor Workshop with James Scott Morrison, but some have questioned whether there would be enough interest because of the fact that he already teaches many classes in the area. We would need about 8 to 10 students and have 3 or 4 "YES" from his non-ALHC student list. This survey is to determine possible interested ALHC members in taking a 3-day workshop from Jim, probably late September or early October, 2010. If you would be interested please reply to this email with "YES JIM" or "NO JIM" in the subject line.
A pastel workshop is being considered with well-known British pastel artist and workshop instructor Barry Watkin. You may see his website at http://www.barrywatkin.co.uk/ I would appreciate any comments you pastel artists may have.

If you have any questions, or a problem printing out the application form, please contact me.

Workshop limited to 15 artists
All paints ,mediums and gels will be provided by Golden
This workshop will cover getting oil-like effects using acrylic paints, mediums and gels including the new OPEN acrylic paints . These paints have an extended working time that can give painters much more control of blending and overall manipulation to achieve wonderful controlled effects. They can also be used in combination with existing heavy body and fluid acrylics and their mediums, gels and additives . This gives painters a truly comprehensive system of paints .
DAY ONE : In this workshop you will learn the best way to prepare supports ( canvas, linen ,wood panel etc. ) to get the most from acrylic painting . Phil will cover heavy body, OPEN and fluid acrylics and their uses and the use of acrylic gels to create surface texture and alter consistency and to extend and economize. You will learn which pigments provide clean color mixing and a basic palette for traditional techniques and which mediums to add for blending and glazing .
DAY TWO & THREE : On a prepared support ( canvas or panel ) . We will work from a still life set-up under paint, over paint, blend and glaze. The last part of DAY THREE: we will discuss how to correctly varnish the completed painting. Along the way we will cover lots of solid technique and have great time painting as well.
Students need to bring synthetic brushes suitable for thicker paint applications (bristle type,) softer brushes for blending and glazing , water container, roll of paper towels, 2 prepared canvas or wood panels 16 by 20 inches, # 2 pencil and a notebook.

Also more advertising of 15% to Lake Toxaway Charities.
Questions

Sue Fazio suggested we have artists bring a painting to be critiqued at each meeting.
Any interest in Plein Air outings to Dupont forest or other similar off campus sites? People would like the first Thurs. of the month to be a paint out.
Laura Fountain has talked with Chris regarding a show on July 12th for artists that have a large body of work.
PR chairman needs to notify the Lake Toxaway Community Association about posting our programs on their calendar and to invite all who are interested, including those that are not necessarily artists.
