September

Sorry I haven't been to guild. But what I gather from those who were there, is that Maxine was wonderful, and everyone enjoyed themselves.

Minutes from October UGHA Meeting
Maxine uses water as a barrier. Enough water to make surface glisten but not runny.
3 brushes are used. One for wetting the surface, one for floating color and a dry mop brush for gentle stippling on the water edge of the float.
Be brave and use the biggest brush you can for floating, at least a ¾ “.
When the mops need cleaning rub on wet area of paper towel and then on dry area of paper towel.
For dry brushing she uses a Loew-Cornell 247 Crescent ½ inch.
Clean dry brush by rubbing in Hand Gel and wiping out on paper towel. This gets most of the paint out. Be sure to clean well at end of day.
Shade from  left to right. Shade from 9-4
Highlight from the light area.  Highlight from 11-2 on edge and at about 2 O’Clock on the inside.
Deco Art Americana – Irish Moss can replace Hot Shots Green for a better highlight.
Always highlight fruit before you shade it.
All corners should have walked out float. Need to have 3 values to be outstanding.
There are probable many more Maxineisms but these were the only ones I wrote down. All in All a wonderful seminar.
We learned a lot and had about 20 ladies in attendance.  We had delicious lunches and a great time.

Maxine Thomas Seminar
We had a really terrific Seminar with Maxine.  We learned many new techniques and color combinations.  Maxine is a great teacher and  is so gracious and talented.  It was a delightful three days.  Most everyone finished their projects.  We enjoyed it very much.
A big THANKS to the ladies who brought food for our lunches.  As usual, it was yummy.  We have such talented ladies in UGHA---They can paint and cook....what more could anyone ask for???
                    
Editor's Note:  Goodness, have I ever struggled to get the newsletter out this year.  I guess my computer (which is only three years old) is just not with it or else it's ME---heaven forbid!!!!  Anyway, I do enjoy doing it and it's been fun and a learning experience.  I'd like to do it again sometime in the future when I learn more about computers.  Thanks for putting up with me.

Fall Opening Social

                      

 Our fall social was held in Kay's beautiful back
yard. We had a blast, margarita's (virgin of coarse) and our food was catered by Cafe Rio. We played
some fun games and had wonderful raffle prizes, I was lucky and won a bird wind chime, right up my alley.

We able to donate to the food bank through are raffles, which is great this time of year since the food pantries are low. It doesn't get any better than this.
