Hello Copyists!
Our next adventure is to Tippett Rise on Saturday, May 23rd, where we will have a wonderful day together. Once we are gathered together, we will revue and discuss the art installations available to us at the main campus, then select one of them to circle around and paint in our medium of choice from our particular view. The act of representing this 3D sculpture in our 2D works in the round will be a new and interesting activity for our group and promises to be quite exciting when complete.
Tippett Rise is closed to the public on this day, but will open for our group. Please arrive promptly at 10:00 am., as we will meet as a group. Beth Korth will speak about the available sculptures and their artists before we set ourselves up to draw/paint the chosen work of art.
Here are the instructions for the day:
Pre-registration is necessary for this activity. The gate keeper at Tippett will have a list of people to expect. If you are not on the list, you are in danger of being turned away.
Please register as soon as possible, but certainly by Thursday May 21st so that the final list of attendees can be sent to Tippett.
To register, text Linda Hewett - 559-355-9133 or
Email linda.hewett@gmail.com.
Please consider car-pooling and arrive promptly by 10:00am.
Weather at Tippett Rise is unpredictable. Please bring sun protection for yourself and your art supplies, and extra layers in case it is cool or windy. If rain is in the offing we will likely move operations to ‘Will’s’ shed, where we will also eat lunch. No prepared food will be available on this day, so please pack yourself a lunch and enough snacks and drinks to sustain you. It may be hot.
You should bring a chair and/or easel, and all the supplies you need to accomplish your artwork.
Even though works may not be complete by the time we must leave, we will try to arrange them in Will’s shed to get an idea of how our efforts come together. We ask participants to allow us to view the finished works at a later date and to provide a good 8”x10” photograph that may also be used at a future showing or for promotional efforts.
We will break at 1:30pm in order to be off campus by 2:00pm.
