Nationally acclaimed plein air painter Camille Przewodek (second place winner of Artist Magazine’s 25th Annual Art Competition) is coming to Corvallis to teach a five day painting workshop focusing 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 only 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 email Peggy Joyce to reserve a place on the workshop list at pjoyce16@comcast.net
In Corvallis and on location (TBA), June 15th-19th, 2009

“Why Design Matters “ by Donna Beverly
Donna will have a discussion about why design matters in all artwork. There are three concrete stages to most artists’ work: 1. Learn to copy what you see and master the medium. 2. Understand and apply the ideas of good design like an architect begins a structure. 3. Creatively express your personal ideas through your art.
The terms design and color theory keep most artists from developing the next stage of mastery. Donna Beverly will demonstrate that both design and color theory are essential tools to success and growth of the artist. Most people can accomplish the first stage with practice and persistence. Understanding what makes a good design is where most artists stop, and only rarely does the artist master the first two stages and pursue self-expression.
“Artists without the understanding of design and color theory are like airline pilots without any training and understanding of the basic principles of flight. The untrained pilot crashes; the untrained artist keeps copying the world around her or him and only their family displays their artwork.”
Marian from Creative Crafts will be attending our October 6 meeting and will listen to member input as to art supplies and services she might add to her store here in Corvallis.

*Social Half-Hour at 7:00 pm ~ General meeting 7:30 pm
Corvallis-Benton County Library
“The Art of Monte Shelton”
*Changes:
When you come to the CAG meeting Social Half-Hour (7:00 pm) from now on, bring your latest work of art to display. We’ll put them around the room. Then, we’ll socialize and celebrate in their presence.
Portland artist Monte Shelton will give a presentation about her art with a question/answer session. For the month of September, Shelton’s paintings will be on display as part of the “It Happens in the Forest” show which opens September 2 in the Main Gallery of The Arts Center.
Forest Pond East, 2006 oil on canvas 48″ x 96″
Shelton’s images are a fusion of observation and imagination, the abstract and descriptive. She blends the tension between light and shadow, the paradox of fire and water, hot and cold, life and death. Expressive brush work represents energy spots, layering yellows and gold into languid blues and violets.
For more information about Monte and/or to view her art, click here. http://www.paintmonte.com

Evening Figure Group (Fairbanks Hall OSU)
To all past and present members of the evening figure drawing group: This group has been meeting for decades. It seems high time to let the world see what we have been up to.

My intention is to assemble jpgs on a CD so I’ll have something to show any potential venue.

These should be ones that you either have framed and ready to show, or are willing to frame for any possible exhibit. They should be at least 72 dpi and Mac compatible. Please have them to me by September 19. Use “EveningFigure Group” in the subject line of your email. Send to:Carol Chapel at cjchapel@casco.net
