Art Drive/ St. Albert Artists Colony

The City of St. Albert is putting together a spiffy brochure called the Art Drive. This brouchure will encourage art lovers to visit local and regional studios and watch art being produced. Some of our artists will be featured - June Haring, Memory Roth, Pearl Der and me.
We will be painting four Thurs evenings during the summer...July 3/17 and August 7/21 from 6:00-9:00.
We invite everyone from Hidden Talent to come paint with us as we have an Open Studio for the public. You can even hang you art in the gallery! Cost for studio time is $30 and 30% commission if you sell.It's a great way to get in some painting time during the summer.
Feel free to bring your friends by for a visit, as we will have great homemade food and drink, as well as works in progress.

Torrit Grey Contest/ Gamblin Website

Artists love a challenge! Here is a contest that is perfect for our Art School!
Each year Gamblin paint company collects the pigments from their air filters and mixes them with linseed oil and produces a beautiful TORRIT
grey that changes slightly every year. This paint is given away free of charge. Gamblin then runs a contest that limits the artist to using Torrit Grey, White and Black only to produce a painting! Kind of like a company sponsored Black and White Art Event.
I have some torrit grey to share with you!
If you are interested in the contest download the form at
http://www.gamblincolors.com/.
I give this website 5/5 stars...lots of good info on paints, how-to's and loads on color. I have their DVD on color and will be sharing it with you during our break time!
Perhaps we can incorporate this into our Mona Lisa Club Art Show
