Have problems with achieving a sense of depth in your paintings? Or determining the correct angles for shapes in your drawings? Clear up the confusion by learning the principles of mechanical geometry and how to use it, which isn’t as hard as it sounds as taught by instructor Richard Hemlick during this two day workshop.
Participants will learn to visually judge scale and positional relationships among objects in space by applying concepts from constructed perspective techniques as well as from direct observation. The workshop should be useful to both plein air and studio painters and graphic artists. Recommended for beginners and experienced artists.

A handful of Art Guild members have been participating in the Different Strokes from Different Folks project that started in September of 2008.
Karin Jurick, a well-known daily painter started the project to get other daily paintings working on a weekly challenge. Due to the overwhelming success, she’s moved the project to a bi-weekly assignment.

After 62 years of existence, I believe the Art Guild still has a lot of opportunities for the future. However due to our size, I also believe we have a number of challenges. This is the current situation. We now have 223 members ranging from world-class artists, to novices who would like to become world-class. We have excellent programs and workshops planned for the coming year. We have a professional website and an exceptional newsletter. Our annual Clothesline Sale has become a Corvallis institution. We also have several thousand dollars in the bank which should be enough to provide a lot of services to our members.
However we seem to be lacking in member participation. Only a small percentage of our members utilize the website. Usually only 30 to 50 people attend our meetings/ programs. This year we actually had some vacant slots at the Clothesline Sale. It was difficult to get 10 people to participate in the Fall Festival and to get a large turnout at our daVinci Days booth. We have few members who volunteer to be event planners/organizers. Only about 30 members (about 13%) attended the December social event. There are also fewer members hanging work in the Guild’s Hanging Around Town venues. In addition, one of my main concerns is that few members freely volunteer for the key positions necessary to keep the Guild alive.
It appears to me that in order to assure our survival and the success of major activities such as the Clothesline Sale we need to consider some changes. I am not sure what all those changes are, however for the Clothesline Sale, I think we should consider a dedicated sub-group of members committed to organizing and supporting the event on an ongoing basis.
We also need to know how to increase everyones participation in general? Why do you belong to the Guild? What else can we do for you? And what are you willing to do for the Guild? You can send your inputs to me directly at mike@creativedialog.com or at 6625 NW Burgundy Dr., Corvallis, OR 97330. Please contact me before January 15 so that we can organize and review the inputs prior to the January Board Meeting. Mike Bergen President

A workshop with Camille Przewodek in Corvallis and on location, June 15 to 19, 2009
Nationally acclaimed plein air painter Camille Przewodek (winner of Artist Magazine’s 25th Annual Art Competition) will teach a five day painting workshop on color - not just any color but color that expresses the light key of nature; color that can make even the most mundane subject matter strikingly beautiful. After one day with Camille you’ll see a remarkable difference in your work.
Two days of creating color forms, two days on location, the last day working with a model in the morning and still life in the afternoon.
You don’t want to miss this opportunity to study with one of the great plein air painters of the day - mark your calendar and check back for more info or contact Peggy Joyce to reserve a seat at the workshop.
Dates: June 15-19, 2009
Time: 9:00am - 4:30pm
Place: TBA - in studio and on location in Corvallis area
Cost: $550.00 for CAG members; $650.00 nonmembers
Maximum number of participants: 20

If you’ve been to this site lately, you’ll notice that today it looks quite different. I’m in the middle of adding an online gallery for exhibiting members.
I expect changes to be complete by Dec 20. If after that time you see something strange, please contact me and describe what you see or send me a screenshot.
Thank you for you patience.
