Patti Herndon and some of the many gourds she has painted.
On Tuesday, March 15, APC’s own Patti Herndon will demo "painting gourds" for the Club.
To make this great folk art even better, Patti has planned a hands-on experience for Members who wish to participate.
Patti’s happy thought is for gourd-painters to befriend one's chosen gourd -- find out who it is or what it wants to be — to help with knowing how to paint that special gourd.
Patti says that on Tuesday she will have gourds for everyone who needs one, and "will have (her) acrylics, brushes, small palettes and water bowls for the tables. (but) I would appreciate anyone who wants to bring their own acrylics and brushes (to do so)."
APC is fortunate to have Member Patti share her painting specialty with us,
So, bring your acrylics and brushes if you have them, and --
Come on Tuesday to try a new technique for making timeless art.
Austin Palette Club, 2874 Shoal Crest Ave., Lamar Senior Activity Center, at N. Lamar and 29th Street. Guest are welcome. Open to all ages. You do not have to be a senior to attend. We rent the space because it is central to Austin. Plenty of free parking and friendly people. Guest are welcome and you can bring a friend(s) if you desire.

Photos of Helen Green at Austin Palette Club demonstrating watercolor technique. Thanks to Renie Vasquez for taking the photos and sharing them with this site.
This morning the Palette Club met for a show and tell and general discussion. It is always a pleasure to meet with friends who are so nice and social and have so much artistic talent. On March the Club will sponsor a Watercolor Demo by Helen Green, a well known local artist. Mark your calendar and join us for a fun time by someone who knows how to paint in water. I will post it on the events page for the date, time, and place.

Feb. 9, 2016 --------- Austin Palette Club was pleased to have as our guest this morning Ms Sherry Fields, a Visual Artist well known in Austin as a professional artist and art teacher. She demonstrated for our members and guest her techniques of rendering pastels. She demonstrated by doing a painting showing the group how she painted in the background first, in the darkest colors, and then brought in the brighter colors to establish the perception of depth. She stressed the importance of value in a painting and how to acheive it. Several members brought cakes and sweets. along with a basket of colored beads for Fat Tuesday - to honor the coming New Orleans celebration. We had the best of both worlds - an informative and entertaining demo and good food at the break. Please see our page, listed under Austin Palette Club for information on the group. Follow our page for upcoming demonstrations. (Photo by Renie Vasquez)
