The Heritage Heartbeat Painting News for Members of Palomar Heritage Painters

Vol 32, Issue 9, September 2015

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Hi Ladies,

It is hot, hot, hot as I write this which makes me wish for cool-

er fall days. Maybe if we paint fall motifs, it will become fall

sooner? We have Bobbie T’s seminar elf and owl, Onya’s

Christmas tree candle holder, and Karen’s pumpkin project

coming up, so there’s a start.

Bobbie’s seminar is filling up but you can snag some of the

last seats by calling Sue pronto. Don’t miss out on this oppor-

tunity to paint with one of our local artist treasures.

Speaking of fun, our mini-seminar with Lori Hillstead was

awesome. Everyone loved the multi-media approach using

decoupage, stamping, painting, and embellishments to create

a room full of beautiful watering cans. Lori is always so low

key and encouraging that we just enjoy painting with her.

Thank you so much, Lori for a wonderful class!

There are a few chapter things that I need to bring up (before

I forget). We have our project vote ahead of us on our calen-

dar as well as nominations and voting for next years officers.

If you have an interest in volunteering for a position or any

questions about helping out with chapter, please let me

know. This year in lieu of a Christmas party we will have a

potluck meal and “open paint” for ornaments, UFO’s, or any

thing else you might want to work on. Please sign up in the

project binder, so we know how many people will be at-

tending and so we can contact you regarding what to

bring for the potluck meal.

Whew. That’s it. I think I’m going to pull out the halloween

pumpkins that I bought the other day to make my house look

like fall. After that, maybe I’ll work on my

stack of UFO’s (unfinished objects). Stay

cool ladies, and happy painting.

Your President, Charlotte

SDP Readership Survey

The SDP is conducting an online survey on the Decora-

tive Painter magazine during September. You may have

received an e-mail with a link. Information about the

survey is also on page 9 of the latest issue. It is really

important to voice our opinions about the content, quali-

ty, & frequency of this publication, as it is the last of the

print periodicals focusing on decorative painting. So,

please take time to complete this survey. Here’s the link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2015dpreadershipsurvey

1st Vice (Programs) News What can I say I just loved the class with Lori Hillstead. I love the piece so much and she really is a good teach-er. We will see her again in January 2016…. I have the piece for that class with me and will bring it to the Bob-bie T seminar. So, even if you aren't coming to Bobbie's class , come and see pieces for the upcoming classes. I should also have the pre-ordered pieces for the Rogaland Christmas Tree with Onya at the September classes.

Please don't forget to sign-up for Onya's class in October. It is a wonderful piece. It is a Jo Sonja design and it would be a beautiful addition to your Christmas decorations and an heirloom piece. I am so looking forward to this class. I love doing Rosemaling of any kind.

Karen Ortman is teaching the highest voted project — Pumpkins in Mini on a 6" canvas. This class in in No-vember.

September is the Bobbie Takashima seminar. Sept 12 and 13, Sat and Sun.. It is not too late to sign up for Bobbie's class. And you really should take a class with Bobbie T as she is known throughout the world. She teaches all over the world and she is our very own PHP member. We are very lucky to have her not only as a member of ours but she doesn't have a lot of open dates for classes. We had to schedule this class over a year ago. You will get a chance to do some sculpting using quik wood on the Woodland Elf on Saturday and then value painting on either Fabric or Wood with the Night Owl on Sunday. Just let me know if you want to come … we would love to have you.

Here are the people already signed up for the class with Bobbie. Jeanne Robert, Sheila Elliot, Neva Ander-son, Cynthia Megill, Linda Silvasy, Mary Mitchell, Cheryl Powell, Marilyn Dixon, Ramona Jacobs, Mindy Rupp, Alex Doyle, Charlotte Hicks, Leslie Pilcher, Anita Lane, Carol Voyles, Pam My-ers, Renee Molloy, Kenna Perrin, Linda Howard, Donna Johnson, Elinor Tenney, Dee Bristol, Karen Krause, Karen Sheppard, Laurie Stewart.

Ways & Means 2015

It’s that time of year again for our annual Ways & Means Raffle Fundraiser. As a member of Palomar Heritage Painters , you are aware this is our primary fundraiser of the year; therefore members are expected to participate in purchasing tickets to ensure our organization continues to be supported. Our drawing will be during the October paint-in. In the past this drawing has been held during the Christmas party but so much was going on last year, we decided to move it. Tickets will be available in July during the Paint-In day. If someone is not there and you can deliver their tickets to them, that would be helpful. Colored pictures will not be available with the exception of members who do not receive the monthly newsletter via e-mail. Please check out the pictures below. In addition, the pieces will be displayed at all remaining Paint-Ins until the drawing. Each member will be given 20 tickets at $1 per ticket and more may be purchased. If you mail me the tickets back, please indicate how you would like me to divide them. If there aren’t any instructions, I will divide them among the 3 pieces. I will take tickets any time before the raffle. If you have questions, please feel free to call or e-mail me. Linda Silvasy 13826 Little Pond Rd. Valley Center, CA 92082 760-749-0977 [email protected]

Local Shops Marilyn Dixon has discovered a new shop ………...

Hi everyone........I just visited a shop maybe some of you haven't heard about yet. The name is The Making

Place located in Escondido in a strip mall on Felicita Rd and Escondido Blvd. (Across from the Vons center). Lots

of paper crafting items, great stencils ,embellishments & a little fabric. It is so important to help support any of the

shops we have left in San Diego. Don't forget Donna Carpenter for painting supplies. A few weeks ago I ordered

paint and picked it up at the paint-in. That was so convenient. Paint with Joy! Marilyn D.

Musings on Rosemary West Seminar

I just returned from Hesperia where I took a wonderful 2-day seminar taught by Rosemary West. We painted 2 very different

pieces. I know we all have painted Rosemary’s designs and Sandy Garcia is a wonderful teacher of them, but I picked up a few

tips from Rosemary herself that really helped me …….

Slip-Slap Backgrounds — Instead of slip-slapping by making random X’s, Rosemary paints a few (3-4) streaks in one direction

and then paints a few in the opposite direction over the first streaks. She puts down Retarder first, of course, and then softens with

a mop and goes to the next color. That was pretty revolutionary for me (who panics at mottled backgrounds). I actually liked my

background with the FIRST application.

The dry-brushing: Rosemary’s style of dry-brushing is NOT the same as drybrushing highlights by rubbing out the paint on a

paper towel and then rubbing on the surface (a source of confusion for me — I wish they wouldn’t call both techniques “dry-

brushing”). Rosemary only has two ways of loading a brush. Fully loaded — You put a LOT of paint on a DRY filbert brush

with just a SLIGHT wipeoff of the brush bottom on a paper towel. One loading (with the proper sized brush) should be able to do

a whole flower petal, starting at the lightest value edge and moving to the shadow area. Your touch should be very light. The

strokes should be long and continuous, not choppy (my bad!), releasing gradually as you get nearer the bottom of the stroke,

where the paint will drag on the rough texture and fade out. If you feel like you need to bear down to get more paint out of the

brush… STOP! and get more paint! (her exact words). The second way Rosemary loads a brush is a side load of a dirty brush

with some stroking on a waxy palette to create the final soft highlights where you don’t want hard lines. The brush is always very

dry. After rinsing, any water in the brush is squeezed out thoroughly with a paper towel.

You lightly go over big streaks to blend, but don’t worry too much about streaks or full coverage of the first coat (that was very

hard for me). Pay attention to making a crisp edge at the top of the strokes, especially in the lightest highlight, because you don’t

outline it later. Rosemary kind of slides the tip of the brush at the beginning of each stroke to create the edge before she starts to

press and pull down the stroke.

Use flow medium (and NOT water) to thin metallic paints for lining. Put Kleister Medium into the paint to make dots stand up.

Rosemary makes stripes by dry brushing over a stripe stencil.

If you want to know how Rosemary finishes or varnishes her pieces, don’t look in her books or patterns, as she doesn’t mention it

(I’ve looked). She says she HATES varnishing and many times doesn’t put anything on her finished pieces!! If she does, it is

DecoArt spray sealer (Matte) or JoSonja’s Satin Polyurethane Varnish. —— Leslie Pilcher

HELP!!!!!

Charlene Butler desperately needs to find a home for a starving cat that landed on her doorstep. He is all white with a

grey spot on his head and is extremely friendly and loving. Charlene has fed him, treated him for fleas and taken him

to the vet, where she found that he is fairly old and has kidney failure. But she can’t keep him. If you can take in a cat

and give it some love in its autumn years (or months), it would be greatly appreciated. Contact Charlene by e-mail.
