President Message
Guest Demonstrator
Edith Turner
Russellville Grange Hall, 12105 NE Prescott,
(My thanks to Beth Proppe for stepping in when I should
have)
This is my first newsletter message as I graciously
step into this office for this term. I see a great need
to help PFAG out of it's rut.
Remember no job is too large or too small. They are
all important to the inner working of the Portland
Fine Arts Guild, I see this first hand. I have the best
team of officers and committee workers I could ask
for.
By the time you read this newsletter, we will have
had our first Board of Directors meeting (10-13-2014).
We will be meeting once a month for a time to get our
act working. Following the bylaws is the best way
for us to continue as an Art Guild. I ask all of you to
please be patient with us for a time. We are working
on a lot of good things.
1. New membership directory--very, very soon
2. New membership packs
3. Art Shows--Like the spring show--we will
need a committee to set this up. Please help again,
no job is too small, it's these
jobs that
keep PFAG running.
4. To keep an orderly streamed-lined short
members meeting 20 to 30 minutes max.
I - Not I, we need all of you as members to please
help where you can. Please again stay with us and
give us some time to fix and move the PFAG on to
better times. As it was stated by one of our best
workers for the Guild, "It is our Guild and It will only
be as good as we the membership wants to make it."
More to come. We're working.

Title of Class:
"A New Wrinkle Using Pastel Chalk"
In this class you will be learning
the art of using Chalk Pastel in a
new and unusual manner.
Students will practice with an
easy picture on a 5x7 size piece of
watercolor paper, to get the hang
of using water with pastels and
later layering on top with dry
pastels. Once students have
mastered the basics, Melody will go
on to a little harder piece on an
8x10 size sheet of watercolor
paper.
In the 2nd and 3rd classes, you
can bring 11x14 size sheet of
watercolor paper if you like to work
with larger sizes.
Items needed for
Good quality
Watercolor paper. For first class bring
2-cut 5x7 and 1 cut 8x10. For 2nd and
3rd class bring size you are comfortable
working with. Recommended brands
are Arches, Fabriano or Strathmore
Paints: A good assortment of Chalk
Pastels
Brushes: 3 to 4 brushes including a
