Newsletter: June, 2016 President’s Message It was great to see everyone at the mee0ng Tuesday night. I know summer 0me is a busy 0me for all of us. Remember, we do not have a mee0ng in July, but will resume our regular mee0ng schedule in August. As ar0sts, we are constantly working to use correct values in our pain0ngs, and for many of us it is a constant challenge. The exercise Shirley Anderson led us in at our June mee0ng was a perfect example of how any color pallet can result in a successful pain0ng as long as the values are correct. Each of us painted 1/12th of a photograph using a variety of color schemes. Because of the correct value use in each of the small por0ons of the pain0ng, when put together, the colorful collage read as a single picture. Many of the programs at our monthly Arkansas Pastel Society mee0ngs give us pointers and help us beIer understand things such as value, that help us become beIer and more confident ar0st. So, if you haven't been to a mee0ng lately, please come see us in August. And, speaking of the August 2nd APS mee0ng, Rita Kirkman, who will be conduc0ng a workshop for us that week, will present the program. She is a fantas0c pastel ar0st who possesses wonderful use of color; a perfect example that any color works in a pain0ng as long as it is the correct value (as discussed at our June mee0ng.) She also won the Best of Show award at our 2015 APS Na0onal Exhibit. I hope you will make plans to join us on Tuesday, August 2nd, to meet Rita and hear about her work. Visit Rita's website: www.ritakirkman.com In case we have anyone that wants to enter the Pastel Society of America's Annual Exhibit, the deadline is midnight, June 14. For more informa0on you may email [email protected] or go to the PSA web sight: www.pastelsocietyofamerica.org it's beau0ful outside, and a great day for pain0ng! See you August 2nd! Nancy Mar0n
