Hello all,
Our friend and fellow SLWS member, Pat Damsgaard, is going through a rough time recovering from surgery. Your thoughts and prayers will be a great help to further her recovery.
Stay warm, the thaw is just around the corner!
Getting tired of winter? The Missouri Botanical Garden is offering several art classes to help you chase away the winter doldrums. Here are some of the classes two of our members, Judy Seyfert and Jaclyn Lawson, will be teaching there this March.
Judy will be teaching Watercolor Wisdom (clickable link) on Friday mornings, beginning March 4th. This class is designed to help you approach your own paintings with confidence. Using a limited palette, Judy will demonstrate simple techniques for making impressive paintings. Through group and individual instruction, students will learn how to design and create their own compositions. This class is appropriate for both beginning and intermediate students.
When: 8 Fridays: March 4, 11, 18, 25; April 1, 8, 22, 29. No class April 15.
Time: 9:30 a.m. till noon
Where: Missouri Botanical Garden, Kemper Classroom
Watercolor: Pure and Simple is being offered Monday evenings starting March 7.
Everywhere we look there is an inspiration for a painting. Getting from the inspiration to the finished painting is a wonderful journey. With this goal in mind, Judy will demonstrate how to use design and color to paint impressive watercolors. Group and individual instruction will be given to encourage self-expression and experimentation. Beginning or experienced watercolorists will find this a fun and exciting journey into creativity.
When: Mondays: March 7,14 21, 28; April 4, 18. No class April 11
Time: 6;30 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Where: Missouri Botanical Garden, Spink Pavilion
Jaclyn Lawson will be teaching, Sketching Basics: Putting it in Perspective beginning Wednesday March 16
Don’t get frustrated with the drawing basics – you can do it! In this short course, Jaclyn will demonstrate perspective and other concepts which some find difficult to understand. She will also show you many of the great sketching tools available like water soluble colored pencils, watercolor, ink, and more. Indoor plants, photographs, and other still lifes will be your subject while we wait for the thaw of spring.
When: Wednesdays March 16, 23, 30:
Time: 9:30 a.m. till Noon
Where: Missouri Botanical Garden, Kemper Classroom

It turns out the painting in Palette Magazine, attributed to our Nancy Beard, is not her painting. Apparently a publishing error. In our phone conversation, she thought it was hers but when she got her copy of the magazine, she was very surprised.
