All of us have spring break and summer travel plans in play. Myself, I have a project that will require my full attention over the next many months. The critique and problem solving is the most valuable contribution I bring to the SIP table.
I came up with a cool summer idea for the SIP team; particularly the members who have relentlessly supported Swimming-in-Paint over the last few years. A twice monthly "Critique, Problems & Fixes" session. This will replace our normal weekend SIP sessions at Crossroads starting May 1, 2018 through August 2018.
Recharge our batteries!
NEW SIP SCHEDULE
(class room 2)
(class room 2)
- May 9th & 23rd - 3:30 to 6:30pm
- June 13th & 27th - 3:30 to 6:30pm
- July 11th & 25th - 3:30 to 6:30pm
- August 8th & 22nd - 3:30 to 6:30pm
The mission will be no different other than we will work at home and communicate via blog and email with a twice monthly Crossroads "Critique, Problems & Fixes". Basically a show & tell where we can actually fix any unresolved problems on site. The team will be welcome to paint, observe the critiques or simply catch up and share our stories.
The personal critique will be scheduled in half hour increments.
The summer "WOW" wall paintings will be selected from the "Critique". As paintings sell they will be replaced. If a sale is from the Coaches WOW wall the artist will have priority on a replacement work.
Finally, class demos will be discontinued and reserved for Crossroads regularly scheduled opening nights every two months.
There you have it, a holiday solution to something some of us have been chatting about lately:=)
PS: Off this morning to "Art Reflecting Nature" at Upper Shirley Vineyards to meet up with SIP team and many other plein air artists for painting madness! Event is sponsored by the Rice Rivers Center VCU. Hope the sun stays out to warm things up....
