3 CPS General Meeting

Sunday October 28th 2 to 4pm.  The next general meeting will be at Jim Tyler’s house. Address: 104 Twin Ridge Drive in SLO. Details to follow in an email update.

Morro Bay Winter Bird Festival

3CPS will have a booth at the Morro Bay Winter Bird Festival in January 2019.  The details of that will be coming soon.  In the meantime, though, we’re getting together to paint birds so that we’ll have a lot of original bird art to show and sell at the show.

These will be free, fun get-togethers with other 3CPS artists.  Bring your favorite bird photos or use some of the extras that we’ll have on hand.  Set up and start painting!

The paintings that we’ll display in January will be limited to an 11″ x 14″ frame size (inside frame dimension).  So think small for your bird painting:  5″x7″, 8″x10″, 9″x12″, 11″x14″.

Kindly let us know if you’re planning to come so that we can have appropriate space set up.  If you’d like to host a get-together, let us know!

Glenn Aulin Falls in Pastel – a three class series in November taught by Jim Tyler.  This waterfall painting is a great opportunity to work with underpaintings to accentuate the warm and cool colors of sunlight and shadow: light yellow in the sky, lavender on the mountains, dark purple in the shadows, and bright orange for the sunlight evergreens. Open to all levels, including beginners.   Can’t make one of the classes?  Don’t worry, we’ll figure out a make up date. Contact Jim at jimtylerfineart@gmail.com, www.JimTylerFineArt.com.

Half Day Workshops with TRICIA REICHERT

In all of these half day workshops, you will bring your own choice of any subject matter to paint. This could be from a photographic source (no photographs of paintings by other artists please) or perhaps materials for a still life. There are also many items available in the studio to use in a still life set up. My pastel cart is available in these workshops for any colors that you might not have in your collection.To register for any of these workshops please contact me. http://www.triciareichert.com/

3CPS Exhibit at the Morro Bay Natural History Museum.

Two Worlds Meet: Living Together Along the Shore Shorelines can be freshwater, saltwater or a mixture of the two. Along the Central Coast we have all three. Our Mediterranean climate attracts both humans and animals, and the many ways we co-exist are the subject of this exhibit. If it happens here, it’s the perfect subject matter for your painting.
