Welcome to the New Year, New Supplies, and a “Hands On” Pastel Paint Day
The New Year brings lots of ideas for new and past members to discover opportunities for pastel painters. Our President, Liz Czerewaty will announce all the newest goals and up to date plans for 2020. Be sure to be here for a lively and informative discussion with Liz! After that, we will enjoy a paint together session, if you wish to participate. Last year we sampled different sanded papers and had fun painting fruit. This year we are going to try just one or two new papers and do our favorite pastel painting exercises. How about 75 strokes only? Or same color, three values? Bring your small set of pastels and you will receive a few sheets of a new pastel paper to take home as well. What we paint will be a surprise. Supplies: a small set of medium hard pastels, about 16 will do. In addition, bring 3 pastels in the same color spectrum but of different values. Example : dark purple, medium purple, light purple. Or dark red, medium red, and light red. Or, yellows, etc. Only pick one color for these extra 3 pastels. Plus an apron, some hand wipes, sheet of aluminum foil, a clipboard. If you want, bring an empty 3 ring binder (sturdy kind) to lean your clipboard on. Otherwise your handbag or supply satchel should do. Don’t bring tabletop or standing easels. This is a group table project where we all need to see the object being painted. Any questions, please email Linda Dellandre dellandw@yahoo.com |

The April 4 PSST meeting is cancelled.
from PSST President Liz Czerewaty: "It is with regret but confidence that I am putting forward my decision to cancel the April PSST meeting. Nothing is more important than getting an early handle on this destructive virus through diligent hand hygiene and social distancing. The continued good health of each of you comes first. Please be in touch if you are needing physical or emotional support in any way." Until normal life resumes, be inspired by this Jody Martin painting which so perfectly fits into the temporary lifestyle caused by covid-19.
