Snapshots from the SLWS Fall Retreat at Il Ritiro Franciscan Retreat in Dittmer, MO, Oct. 7 - 9

Our members who attended the Fall Retreat had a wonderful time and shared the following with us.

The Pond at Il Ritiro

"Painted this plein air at the St. Louis Watercolor Society retreat last week. This sort of sums up the peacefulness I felt while at the Franciscan Il Ritiro Retreat Center outside of St. Louis.  What a treat, just being there, sharing and developing friendships with other artists."                                                                                                                                                     Alicia Farris

Carol Jessen Workshops in November

Carol Jessen offered a 4-day workshop in October (21 - 23), but due to a small sign up, has decided that perhaps a four day commitment was too much for some folks.  She has decided to offer two Saturday workshops on November 1 and November 8, from 9 a.m. to noon, at Jean McMullen's gallery, Missouri Artists on Main, located at 321 S. Main Street, St. Charles, MO  63301.  You can sign up for one or both sessions.

Session one will concentrate on values and shapes.
Session two will focus on the use of bold colors.

Tuition is $45 per class.

To sign up, please contact Jean McMullen at:  jmcmullenart@aol.com

If you have questions about supplies, contact Carol Jessen at:  caroljessen@yahoo.com

Carol hopes to see you there!
