Announcing - Dewberry U Art Center Grand Opening

I hope many of you can come see us for the Grand Opening of the first Dewberry U Art Center!!!  

wOil Certifications in Taiwan

I know it's been a while since I've posted, been so busy with SDP convention, getting ready for Dewberry U Convention coming up in July and now I'm in Taiwan doing wOil certifications and classes.  I've been here since June 1 and have a few more days until I go back home.  Here are some pics of the fabulous instructors that I have been certifying.  They are all terrific and talented artists.

I want to thank my translators Chenya and Shorty for helping me too!  You guys are great!  I've been working hard, doing certifications during the day and then teaching classes to students at night.  Whew am I tired, only break I've had is on last Sunday, pretty much stayed in bed all day to rest for the next week.  Can't wait to get home to my family and friends but having a great time with these talented artists.  They love the wOils.  Take look at the pictures below, all are so happy and their art is gorgeous.  Great Job Ladies!!!

The beginning - yeah!!!

Look at these little ones.  One hour class and they are so sweet.  Their teachers came to watch me teach and help them too.

They did such a great job on the florals.  Loved painting petals.

My girls... Soon is missing, sorry honey

Great artist and such a sweetheart

Added scrollwork to the bottom of the watering can.  Loved doing this, gave it a whole new look.

Great job honey, keep practicing.

Top teacher in Taiwan, look at her flowers.  How much I enjoyed them liking my painting. 

All these teachers are art grads in university.

Love this, evening class after full cert day. But I had great helpers, thanks so much girls.

Chenya - you are great!

Wouldn't have made it without these a great teachers today. They were my helpers all day and night. I'm sooooo grateful. Really short tables, of course everyone is shorter, hours of teaching and no breaks. Love it always lots of smiles.

My new friend and translator. Shorty - love you, you are so kind to me. Yea, first painting.

One of my students' paintings.  I love this.

Top teacher in Taiwan - look how beautiful her work is.

My translator and I are ready for a full day of teaching. Love your help Shorty! Cute name and cute friend.

First Classes at New Dewberry U Art Center in Clermont, FL

On Tuesday, April 23, I held the first two classes at the New Dewberry U Art Center!  It was a very exciting and fun day.  Can you believe I was a little nervous?  Everyone was great and we had a wonderful time.  I would love for you all to come take a class with me.  

All set up and ready for my first students to arrive.

Our displays are set up with new and exciting products.  New bottle tips, wOils and Prima Acrylic paints are shown here.

More product displays - lots of worksheet packs, detailers and my very popular recipe cards

A happy and excited group ready to start painting with me

Busy basecoating their canvases, getting ready to paint hydrangeas

Some wanted blue and some wanted pink hydrangeas.  They all turned our different and beautiful.

Helping to get those highlights just right

All done and everyone is happy and ready to know "what's next?" 

These two sweet ladies stayed for the next class - painting wine glasses.  Our snowbirds wanted to get as many classes in with me before they had to fly back up north.
