Daven Anderson April Classes
Watercolorists and those who will be!
I have modified the April class schedule and updated
my web site to reflect the changes. Both day and evening
classes are starting. New students can step into class at
any time - they don't need to start at the beginning of a month -
and, of course, as mentioned any missed classes can be made
up. I will again conduct a Saturday portrait class in April - April
19th from 9 am to 3:30pm, lunch included. As before the fee
will be $68. I will give the attendees a tracing of the face - this is
not a drawing class but a watercolor painting class. I will need
a minimum of five students to sign up for the class to proceed.
Look forward to seeing you & keep painting.

Angie Jungbluth wins Design Contest
Angie
Jungbluth’s watercolor
of a fox was selected as the winner of the Missouri Department of Conservation’s
contest to design their annual pin. MDC usually designs the pin, but this year
they opened it up to the volunteers statewide.
Each year the MDC gives its statewide volunteers a pin as a way to say thank
you for all of their help throughout the year. Volunteers help run
established programs such as Eagle Days, Wetlands for Kids, Maple Sugar Days,
Go Fish, and more. Additionally, volunteers develop their own programs
for the public such as hiking, wild edible programs, craft programs, etc.
The Missouri Department of Conservation always tells us, "Volunteers Make
a Difference!"
