President’s Message by Bob Winfree
2012 Shows The Shows are On! The AKWS will hold our Juried, All Members, and Signature art shows in 2012 thanks to eleven AKWS members who have volunteered to make it happen, including (in alphabetical order): John Beebee, Libby Hatton, Mary Hyry, Karen Matson, Mark McDermott, Marcia Nathanson, Beth Taylor, Donna Tracy, Bob Winfree, Sandy Winfree, and Sue Zajac. Show chairs (Juried, Bob Winfree), All Members (Sue Brush Strokes

Zajac and John Beebee), and Signature (Beth Taylor and Karen Mattson) will be working over the coming months to confirm suitable venues and coordinate many other tasks needed for a quality show. There’s a lot to do, but many hands make for smaller tasks. Want to help? Please do? There’s still things where more hands could help (such as hanging the paintings and returning art to the artists), so feel free to talk to chairs to see what they need. Also, warm up your paintbrushes and start painting. Our public wants to see lots of fresh art for each show, and we all know what that takes! More details about times, place, etc. in future issues of Brush Strokes.
again next year, perhaps with an indoor First Friday gallery show for the month before installation, and in conjunction with other Alaska artists’ groups. It would not substitute for our other shows, but could be another opportunity for some creative fun.

"Photoshop Basics for Artists" Thursday, April 5, 2012, 6:00 - 9:00 PM BP Energy Center, 900 E. Benson Blvd., Anchorage Free of Charge for AKWS & SAQA members: Size Limited to First 10 Reservations By Mark McDermott & Cat Larrea This workshop is for artists in any media and at any level, from novice to professional, who would like to learn or enhance their ability to manipulate and compose digital images using Photoshop Elements as an exciting part of their workflow. Practiced use of Photoshop Elements can accelerate visualization and can become a key step in the process of transforming your images to art in any media, regardless of whether your style is realistic, abstract, or somewhere in between. Cat & Mark will share some of their basic creative workflows including outdoor photography, image adjustments and modification in Photoshop Elements, and finally translation of images to various artistic methods such as drawing, painting, and working with fabric. Giving participants a variety of tips and tricks of using Photoshop to simplify, improve, and design a piece of art is a central goal of this workshop. A laptop with Photoshop Elements is beneficial, but not required. Contact Mark McDermott at markmcde@gci.net or 345-6997
