September Nancy Baur Seminar

Nancy Baur has been instructing students on decoy painting since the 80's. Her easy to follow instruction packets are used by beginners, as well as advanced painters. Her instructions begin with the preparation of your decoy, sanding and sketching the patterns and the actual painting and feathering techniques. Her instructions show details of the birds and their coloration.

Chapter Minutes

Attending:

Nancy called the business meeting to order at 10:15 am.

The Chapter has purchased a number of boxes for the members to paint for the Treasure Box Program. Our July monthly paint-in will be set aside to paint the boxes. Glenda will be coordinator. There are still boxes available.

Nancy told us that Bobbie Takashima will be our fall seminar teacher for 2009. The scheduled dates are Sept 10th-12th 2009. The board is still working on a spring 2009 teacher.

We also talked about the possibility of having a Christmas booth at the Ogden Train Station. Items under $20 usually sell well. Juanita told us how she uses old silver plate as surfaces and explained how she preps the surface so that the etching shows. She said she would e-mail us the instructions so we can post it on the newsletter.

Cathy Jensen has all the teachers lined up for the senior Center for the remainder of 2008 and she thanks everyone who volunteered.

Time was then turned over to Juanita for the watercolor Apple and Lemon project.

The meeting was adjourned at 1:30 pm till our Treasure Box Work Project July 12th, 2008, at 10:00 am.
