Members’ Book to display at PSNC exhibits
The Exhibiting Committee of PSNC is creating a Members’ Book to display at PSNC exhibits, providing a reference for the history of the group as well as a section that the public can look at to learn more about the artists. The back of the book will feature a scrapbook of sorts to display photos from past exhibitions and workshops.
To complete the member artist’s profile section, those members who wish to be included will need to email the following information. It would be helpful if all of the artist’s information and photos could be included in one email with attachments:
–A photo of the artist. These should be at normal resolution, and the file should be re-named with the artist’s name.
–A photo of a pastel painting that best represents your main body of work or style. The photo perameters for the artist’s photo also apply for the photo of the painting–normal resolution, with the file re-named with the title of the painting.
–Your website address
–Up to 6 sentences that briefly describe your pastel work. This should be a brief paragraph designed to give someone that is visiting an exhibit a first impression of you, similar to a personal introduction. Do not include biographical information or awards and memberships. These will be available from your provided website.
—If you need some suggestions for ideas about this paragraph, consider things such as: why you like pastels, your motivation as an artist, what inspires you, whether your surroundings influence your subject matter, etc.
–The DEADLINE to send in this information is August 16, 2013.
–Send the photos and introduction to Nina MacDonald at nmac3@nc.rr.com
–Contact Pamela Poole with any questions or suggestions about the project at pamelapoolefineart@yahoo.com

Workshop Opportunity – Cape Fear Studios
Workshop Opportunity – Cape Fear Studios, 148 Maxwell Street, Fayetteville, NC 28301
Come spend some fact-filled, hours with Luana Luconi Winner as she navigates through students’ most vexing issues with paint. All levels of student will benefit from Luana’s demos, lectures, critiques, and hands on instruction. The first day will include drawing, proportion, color mixing exercises, and painting. Portrait instruction will be the main focus of the workshop, but a still life will be offered for those who would rather devote time to more brilliant color. During Day 1 lunch period, students should bring lunch and some finished or in-progress artwork of any medium or subject matter for critique. The second day students may choose to work from a live model or a still life. The working lunch period on Day 2 will be a question and answer session on all things art and the business of art. www.WinnerStudios.com Please sign up at Cape Fear Studios or contact Ellen Olson Brooks, ED (brooksel@mindspring.com) 910-433-2986
