Vanguard Artists, founded in 1977, is a premier group of professional artists who meet at 1:00pm on the first Friday of the Month (except summers) at the Sun City West Foundation in Sun City West, Arizona. Its major focus is to provide a forum for the critiquing of art work produced by each artist. This analysis of painting results in generating better quality work. Vanguard Artists, with its quest for excellence, enriches the community through networking, education and ultimately, finer art.

Julie Gilbert Pollard
At the March meeting of Vanguard Artists, we were honored to have Julie Gilbert Pollard share her techniques for painting both oils and watercolors. She begins both of these projects by blocking in the darkest shapes to anchor them and then continues on painting either in oil or watercolor over the underpainting. Very interesting! The results she shared with us were a testament for that approach working well for her!

Sorry Folks!
As your Blog Administrator, one of my responsibilities is to create the slideshows of our work for easy access to them. To do this, I utilize a Pro Account through Flickr, which is paid for by Vanguard Artists. I haven't checked my mail through Flickr for awhile, which means I didn't read the notice that our Pro Account was due to expire in February, so it didn't get paid. This is why some of our painting photos have disappeared, Flickr downgraded us to the free account, which limits the number of photos we can have on their site. Mea culpa!
I have paid the fee for the Pro Account and I will hope to have our photos all restored shortly. If not, I will re-create the slideshows as I have most of the photos I have been sent stored on my computer.
Pardon me for my lapse!
