Color and Painting Class at the Frye Art Museum

Written by:
De Leva

Understand color from the inside out as painter, printmaker, and colorist Betty Merken presents an indepth class on color and its use in painting. Students explore the color spectrum and basic principles of color theory though a series of exercises in which they create color wheels and mix tints, shades, tones, and complementary scales of various colors. Students also explore the history of pigment and the color palettes of various artists used throughout the ages through in-gallery discussions and a PowerPoint lecture. Students apply various color relationships discussed and practiced in class as they create a series of small still-life paintings.

Betty Merken
All levels of students
August 18–21, 10 am–4 pm

Come see Us, Jeff and Denis,  at The Northwest Art Alliance, producers of the Best of the Northwest art shows, bring back the summer juried art show, with Art 30 at Magnuson Park June 27 and 28, inside and outside Hangar 30 — directly east of the main entrance.

If you are a bicyclist try Artride ‘09, a bike ride connecting our show and the Live Arts Bothell show via the Burke Gilman Trail. Join us for fabulous art and summer fun in Seattle’s most beautiful waterfront park.

Denis will be giving a Tie Dye demo ” This is a great warm weather activity for kids and adults alike! Bring any piece of clothing from t-shirts to socks to hats… and of course we will be supplying t-shirts for those who forget to bring their own (while supplies last).

The event will feature great Tie Dye kits from Jacquard.

We look forward to serving you!

Utrecht GALLERY!

Written by:
De Leva

 Galery window
We wanted to show your art!

Denis Fitzpatrick came up with a great idea, make our Pike street  facing window a place to show art.

So come in and drop off a bio, images and a show resume, or you can leave a comment on the blog with your website link. The images must be indicative of what you want to show, please, do not bring in the actual works. Due to the nature of the space we are looking for 4 to 7, works  24″x24″ or larger, ready to hang.  Shows are bi-monthly. 

Come on by to find out more, ask for Denis or Chris.

Shawn Beesley
Shawn’s art is currently hanging in the Utrecht window. His paintings depict everyday life from a minds eye. Each work is another potentially epic day of life. Shawn makes paper cut outs, glues them to canvas and then paints with acylics. This method gives a low relief 3d realism to the work.

All you have to to is walk by to see the work! YEAH STREET ART!
