Dimensions Newsletter - January 2006Mission Statement: Visual artists and supporters encouraging and promoting the arts in the community. COLLAGE by Pat Nix As you read this, we are entering into a new year. I feel very positive about the direction in which Sequim Arts is moving. I am grateful to the long-time members who have given us such a firm foundation on which to build and to the Presidents and their Boards who have preceded me for their work and sound planning. Wow! What a challenge to be handed! The first major change under my care is the Juried Show which is being moved to Spring to avoid date conflicts with many other shows in the summer and fall. I enthusiastically endorse this change. Additionally, we will now accept photos in addition to slides, for entries. This should make it much easier for many people. With the sad passing of Margot Andrews, we now need a Chair, or Co-Chairs for the Members show in the fall. This is a very satisfying job, and not nearly as difficult as the Juried show. Please let me know if you would be able to do this job which takes about one month from start to finish. There are many veterans of this job, who will be glad to help and offer advice. Speaking of the Members’ Show, I want to urge and encourage all members to get busy and prepare an entry for this show. Our group is so talented, this is our chance to show off. I have heard it said that everyone has at least one good book in them, if they would just sit down and write it. I think it is probably also true that everyone can produce one good piece of art if they would just do it. We have several jobs that still need to be filled. There are big jobs such as Membership Chair, Newsletter Editor, and the Members’ Show Chair, but there are also some jobs that take very little time but make a big contribution. Some of the smaller jobs are working on the various committees, helping with the newsletter, helping with meeting refreshments, helping with flowers for the shows, etc. My fondest wish is that every member would generously offer to do JUST ONE THING for the good of the group, in the coming year. If this happened, we would have so much help that everything we do would be pure joy and so easy. Working for an organization you enjoy should not be painful and frustrating, it should be FUN! Would you do this for the good of our Sequim Arts? I promise good working conditions and LOTS of gratitude.
Pat Nix, President

Due to a serious medical problem with his eyes Bill McEnroe will not be able to conduct the workshop “Break The Mold” January 23 - 25. He graciously recommended Donna Trent to take his place. This workshop will challenge the artist to move from his or her comfort zone to a new level of approaching pastels. Different methods for applying grounds to supports will be discussed. Most pastel papers will accept some if not all of the following: oil and turpentine, alcohol, waterbase paints (acrylic, watercolor, gouache) and pure pigment paints. Each of these media will be demonstrated in a pastel painting while leaving background areas showing through, and with pencil and charcoal lines becoming part of the finished work. Bill McEnroe's "gouache scramble" method will be incorporated in the lessons. Each demo will reinforce composition, color, value and edges. Layering techniques, with warm and cool, and a building up with layers of pastel colors will be emphasized. Daily demos, individual help and critiques The price will be the same.
