Another watercolor workshop with Ann Maglinte! Watercolor is the perfect medium for painting birds to capture their distinctive colors, their beauty and their personality. Ann will demonstrate sketching techniques, how to work from life and from photos and using colored pencil and black ink for added detail. Ann has illustrated books including Secrets of the Oak Woodlands which includes her paintings of birds, animals, plants and trees. She is an instructor at Mendocino College and this workshop will give participants a chance to learn from her without needing to take a week’s long class.

...is a special chance to learn and practice our plein-air skills and is generously underwritten by Barra of Mendocino and a donation in memory of Adele Pruitt's sister, Pat. One of our favorite instructors, Clark Mitchell, has been invited back. Although he will be using pastels for his demonstration, all mediums are welcome. The setting is Barra of Mendocino's private ranch in Redwood Valley with beautiful vistas, vineyards, ponds and a gorgeous old barn. Svetlana is the coordinator for this workshop (poster with details and registration form).
..."Registration for all Summer Art Stays at Emandal is open! For those of you who don't know about Emandal, it is a historic old family camp on the Eel River east of Willits, where summers are now dedicated to getting artists together for the time of their lives. I will be teaching an art quilting class during their third Art Stay session, which runs from September 18 - 22, 2019. We will have three full days sandwiched by two half days to explore, create, share inspiration and enjoy the process as we all work at our own pace on small art quilts in this beautiful setting.
Perks are incredible organic home-cooked food (much of which is harvested daily from the enormous garden), a lovely happy hour with all of the other artists from the various workshops, all the time you want to lounge in or near the river, and bottomless home-roasted coffee throughout the day. All included in the very reasonable fee.
Please go to the emandal.com website to view the possibilities. You can scroll down on the "Art Stays" button to find my workshop with a complete description and materials list."
...that one of your membership benefits is being able to display your art work at the Corner Gallery?
MCAA has pre-paid a portion of the rental cost for two panels, loosely referred to as the "pony walls," each measuring approximately 3 feet wide by 6 feet tall. A member can hang their work on one of the panels for a fee of only $25.00 for the entire month!
Jeanette Carson coordinates the schedule so if you are interested, please contact her at 707-462-8916 and she can give you all the details.
It doesn't take very many pieces to fill the panel and won't it be a thrill to walk into the gallery on First Friday and see your work hanging there?
...is a long-term project undertaken by the Mendocino College and I've been asked to help share the details with our members. You may want to become personally involved, or know someone that can use this information. Many of us have have taken classes at the college and it remains a vital resource to the entire community. -Svetlana
