Gold Beach Art Enthusiasts have organized an art meet-up workshop scheduled for January 12th, from 10am to noon, in the large downstairs meeting hall at the Curry Public Library in Gold Beach.

We will be sharing tips to keep you inspired and motivated, demonstrating how to make a “Pocket Palette” so art is always within reach, and discussing the hows and whys of artist journaling. Whether you are an established artist or just an art hobbyist, we welcome you to share your own ideas, tips, and demonstrations of how you make art a habit in your life. If you have art journals or sketchbooks that you would like to show, we would love to see them!

If you have questions, please contact:  Julie Wilson at  jpuzwilson@gmail.com or Janee Lensing at jllensing@gmail.com

Gold Beach Art Enthusiasts have organized an art meet-up workshop scheduled for December 8th, from 10am to noon, in the large downstairs meeting hall at the Curry Public Library in Gold Beach.

This workshop will feature painting demonstrations using Yupo (a synthetic, waterproof paper), ceramic tiles, and a variety of printed materials. We will learn how to make our own alcohol inks and talk about ways to prep surfaces for paint applications. We love learning from and being inspired by other artists so if you have artwork or a technique to share, we would love to see it! A limited supply of materials will be available to experiment with but feel free to bring your own supplies to work with while you are there. We only ask that you are respectful of the space and bring drop cloths if you need them.

Even a last-minute venue change because of the Agness fire couldn’t deter eight Curry Arts artists from enjoying Rene Eisenbart’s return marbling event.  The rain held off long enough for work to dry and Dianna Brown’s clubhouse was a perfect substitute location for producing all kinds of creative works.  Rene’s fabulous marbling technique was applied to paintings, scarves, and even to a pair of Pat Renner’s Krocs!

Curry Arts member Pat Renner is pleased to announce that she has had several paintings accepted in two regional watercolor shows.

She has three paintings hanging in the CAM Biennial show “An Exhibition of Recent Works by Oregon Artists” at the Coos Art Museum in Coos Bay, Oregon.  The show runs from October 19 – December 8, 2018, with the opening night reception Friday October 19, 2018, 5pm-7pm.

The three works accepted into the CAM exhibition, shown below, are:

The Furies–Through the Door, The Furies–The Gymnast, and The Furies–Forlorn Fairy.

 

In addition, Pat’s painting “Girl in a Tree” has been juried into the Watercolor Society of Oregon, Fall 2018 watercolor show.

 

Way to go Pat!
