Taught by Virginia Nesselrotte
June 20, 21 Workshop
by Marlene Grubbs
Members of KVDA that signed up and attended the two-day class on June 16 and 17 had a good painting experience. She presented a small box painted in the Betty Caithness style. Some of the people who attended ordered the box from Virginia, while others chose their own surface for the project. No one did the scene smaller, but many attendees increased the size of the pattern to do bigger pieces.
The background treatment that is done with this painting style gives the entire painting a soft appearance. The other unique aspect of this project was the wrap around landscape 
that encircled the sides of the box. Each side had a different scene, but each flowed into the other, making a continuous panorama. After all the acrylic painting was completed, oil rouging was applied to intensify the colors. Most people finished the top and some of the sides. The attendees who stayed for both days got their project completed. Several people painted the scene on a memory box as well as their project. The painting, the visiting, and the sharing of ideas made for a very pleasant experience. A good time was had by all.
