Market Mortgage
There is no display in Market Mortgage for the month of June. If anyone is
interested in setting up his/her own exhibit, or if two
people want to go in together to make one display, please let me know. We may
have to cancel out altogether on Market Mortgage as
there appears to be little interest in setting up an exhibit there. Liz Stull

19 attended a
free "Chroma Atelier Interactive
Acrylics Workshop"
on Friday, May 15th at Christian Community Church North, 5586
Olentangy River Road. Jennifer Von Stein, resident US artist
with Chroma, an Australian paint maker, was the presenter.
Jennifer also gave a program to Worthington Area Art League for
our February, 2008 meeting, and the information portion was
similar to what she presented on that occasion. The special
aspect of this "Painting Party" was the opportunity to actually
use the products--both Chroma acrylic paints and their special
mediums--for a hands-on experience. Jennifer demonstrated
re-hydrating dried acrylic paints so one could blend
wet-into-wet again, and showed how the "Interactive" part of the
paint got it's name. One "unlock" previously dried paint, glaze,
scumble, and keep the paint "open," or moist, for long periods
while working, or can seal the paint layer to make it permanent.
Jennifer also showed us how to do monoprints using these
products, and the effects available with a binding medium for
underpainting then painting in a watercolor style. Quite
versatile products!
I commend Chroma for making opportunities like this available to
us, and for being aware of the needs and desires of the painting
community. (Some of the big names in the art supply world could
learn a lesson here. In years past, W&N, Grumbacher, Liquitex
and others had sales reps that traveled and did similar kinds of
presentations, but other than the major vendor shows, they no
longer seem to interact with the buying public.) They were the
ones who sought us out to give up this chance to learn up close.
WAAL was well represented, as was the Dublin Area Art League,
and an artist member of the hosting church was also present. |
Charles Rowland will be teaching a series of watercolor
workshops and classes at the Jodie McCallum Gallery in Marblehead , Ohio this
summer. The current schedule includes two one day workshops and three evening
classes. Attached is a registration form and description of the classes. Due to
delays in getting the brochure out, the registration deadline for the first
workshop has been extended. Please call or email Charlie (740 548 4976 or
cwrowland@aol.com) with any questions.

with the opening reception from 5:00-9:00 pm.
At the Art Pad Gallery, 4969 North High Street, Columbus. This is at Morse Road

High Street, right beside Bob's Bar, The Cultural Hub of The Midwest (as they
say in their ads!). (www.ARTPADGALLERY.com;

little bit further north and park in the Graceland Shopping Center parking lot
in front of the Applebee's (you can't miss it), and walk a couple hundred feet
down to the Art Pad. Should be an interesting mixed media show; its an
interesting gallery, with a pool table in the front room! There will be food and

Tenny Williams just hung an
exhibit in the connector hall between the Westminster and Thurber Towers - the
Westminster-Thurber art space - 645 Neil Ave. The subject is "Central Ohio Jazz
Artists." He has tried to tell a story of the role of the portraited folks in
the evolution of central Ohio jazz - folks who left a legacy; the two nationally
respected big bands; the role of smaller groups and of "Jam Sessions" in giving
performance opportunities to good musicians who. for whatever reason have not
become part of regular performing groups; and young performers who guarantee the
survival of jazz. The exhibit will be up all of March and April.
Kimono exhibit at the Canton Museum of Art? If
not, do not miss it. Anyway, our Delaware Artists Guild is chartering a bus to
