Summer Watercolor Classes

Once again, CROA will have "A Notion of Watercolors" throughout the summer given the demand. $25 donation per month. Class is being held on Tuesdays, 6 PM to 8:30 PM. They will take place at the River City School of Arts & Crafts in Ilwaco, WA, across from the post office. Bring materials: brushes, paper, paint, palette, and absorbent medium on which to wipe paint such as paper towels, sponge, etc. All levels are welcome.

Friday, July Fourth at Dots N' Doodles, Astoria, OR

Please join our table on the Colmbia River water front at the street fair sponsored by art supply house, Dots N' Doodles, 10th and Astor Place, in Astoria, Oregon. We plan to have a display of pottery, paintings by Judy Leonard and a quick-portrait artist. Perhaps Marcia Peterson of Surfside, WA, will bring her swarovski crystal watches and adornments!

We are proud to say that Maggie Wall's "Thumbelina" by the children's Astoria School of Ballet was a smash! Our part in it, the design of the poster and program cover, was well rewarded. Chairperson, Barbara Martin, thoroughly enjoyed the production. She was blown away!! Here's hoping we can participate again.

Art Supply Source, Dots n' Doodles to relocate in October

In late October, 2010, our friends, Tim & Scott will move Dots N' Doodles Art Supply Store across the street from Burger King in Astoria, OR.

Formerly "Tokugawa", Japanese antiquities, the location will appeal to the massive traffic passing under the Astoria-Megler Bridge on its way east to Commercial St. and possibly, Portland, OR, or west to Warrenton, Seaside, Gearhardt, Cannon Beach, OR, and points southwest on Hwy 101.

Scott will conduct ceramic studies in this much larger building where the myriad of art materials will be on one floor. Look for the unmistakeable yellow-ochre paint; you can't miss it!
