Holiday Greetings!
FAA is kicking off the season with our 2019 Holiday Party. We meet at 7 pm on Tuesday, December 3. Please bring a refreshment to share, and if you wish to participate in our gift exchange, please bring a small seasonal item ($10 – $15), wrapped but with no names on it. We will have some fun with it for sure.
Please be sure to like our new beautiful Facebook page (the colorful one) and if you have already liked or followed our old page please unlike or unfollow that one so we can discard it. FB search Fairborn Art Association.
We will take a short winter break in January, but we will be back to our regular meeting schedule in February, 2020. Our speaker will be the ever-popular Yuki Hall and she will talk about her recent European painting trip and sketching. Meeting is Tuesday, February 4 at 7 pm.
Now that winter weather is upon us, please remember if Fairborn schools are closed due to weather, we will not meet that night. If weather worsens during the day, we will attempt to send an e-mail blast out to you. Of course, we want everyone to be safe, so if the meeting has not been officially cancelled but you are not comfortable driving, then please stay home.
Cheap Joe (Cheap Joe’s Art Stuff) says, “When we paint to create a masterpiece, we set ourselves up for failure. So instead, set out to have fun and enjoy the journey. Then you’ve set yourself up for success.”

MAY 2020 WORKSHOP WITH MISUK GOLTZ
May 4-7, 2020, Fairborn Art Association will welcome Misuk Goltz back to teach a 4-day watercolor workshop. Misuk has won many awards for her watercolor paintings and is an outstanding teacher. For beginners to more advanced. Misuk has planned a fabulous, informative workshop.
Watercolor Painting for Art Journaling
Your Travels in Sketches and Paintings
with Misuk Goltz
May 4 – 6, 2020
Why Journaling? Your journal can become a sanctuary where you contemplate, reflect or resolve matters in your life; it’s just like keeping a diary. Or simply giving you the pleasure of recording the moments in your life you want to remember. If you are an artist, you already have the tools you need to create imaginative journal pages. Moreover, journaling will allow you to grow your skills as an observer, creator, and painter. For watercolor painters who want to bring their work to a different level, come and learn different painting methods and practice them with guidance and feedback from the instructor.
Workshop Agenda:
Introduction to Journaling
Brainstorm: “What do I want my journal to be?” Medium to practice sketching and painting? Keepsake? Diary? Travelogue?
Page Design Exercise: Play with different formats: horizontal, vertical, square or your own creation
Journaling Exercise: Demos on painting/sketching (people, landscapes, urban scenes, animals) showing methods and strategies to construct journal pages
Start your journal! Start your painting
Individual discussion (5 minutes for each participant) on each one’s progress
Informal showing of student journals to share ideas
Book Binding: Make your own journal book
This workshop will be at the Fairborn Art Association Gallery from 9:30-4 with an hour for lunch. The cost will be $200 member or $225 non-member, including a $40 nonrefundable deposit which will hold your place for the workshop. Because Misuk has so many followers, get your deposit in soon. Send it to Pat Dunker, 30 Innisbrook Close, Xenia, Ohio 45385. Contact Pat at 937-562-3014 or cell 937-271-4798, or email [email protected] .
