Guest Artists,Demonstrations

Daniel Sprick

We were fortunate to have

Daniel Sprick come back to the Guild and share his process of painting.

Earlier we had an interview with Daniel and viewed his biographical PBS Special

"Daniel Sprick: Pursuit of Truth and Beauty".

The life and work of native Glenwood

Springs contemporary realist painter Daniel

Sprick, whose work has been exhibited internationally since the 1980s.

We were treated to an inspiring demo by portrait artist Bev Lee .

She explained her techniques, gave us facial diagrams with typical proportions, showed examples of warm/cool color combinations, as well as lots of lovely examples. And of course she made it all look so easy!

Carla Reed gave a delightful demo on her whimsical abstract floral designs

in acrylic on canvas. She works in a free , fresh and low stress method, and inspired us all to cut loose and just paint!

We were treated to a dynamite presentation by Brian Weller , now the Art Coordinator for the City of Glenwood, but formerly employed by Disney, "House of Mouse".

There Brian was a graphic cartoonist and creator of their famous monster masks and costumes

Philip Carlton , an accomplished plein air painter was our speaker. Using his oil painting skills, he demonstrated beginning,

filling out and perfecting a mountain landscape with golden backlit fall trees. He entertained us with amusing stories of a big wind blowing over his easel and snapping the long handles of his brushes, leaving a wet slithering painting along the side of his car. Plein air painting has it pitfalls!

Lanny Grant

Plein Air Demonstration by regional Colorado artist, Lanny Grant.

Exploring the wonders of the high country.

Jana Adams

Alcohol Inks Demonstration

Alice Beauchamp

Folk Art Painting

Alice Beauchamp was a terrific speaker. Her “modern take on

Folk Art” is original and charming, her methods intriguing.

Miranda Watson (CMC)

Watercolor techniques

Rebecca-Swain Grant

Mosaic Demonstration

We had a truly memorable three day workshop with Connie Hendrix! It was memorable in that we learned a lot that we’ll always remember, and we had an enjoyable friendly creative time together. We watched on the last day as this striking waterfall painting grew in front of our eyes, with the use of two colors, a paint brush, and a razor blade. Amazing.

We were treated to a hands -on workshop from Liz Caris. She is a tile muralist, painting landscapes,flowers, animals with glass instead of paint!

Each of us designed an image and transfered it onto our own 4x4 white tile.We then hand glazed (with liquid glass) our small images.

You can see the difference below from

glazed and then after they were fired.

Member Libby Stefano gave us a presentation on the subject of color.

Drawing from her background in the fashion industry, she explained so much!

Member Liz Karr gave a wonderful presentation on Urban Sketching. She showed us the value of practice in

telling visual stories .
