Paint with Julia

You are invited to spend an afternoon with internationally known artist Julia Volodina.

 

 

Come Paint with Julia

Julia is a classically trained artist who has agreed to paint with us every Sunday afternoon – weather permitting – in the Wieghorst Botanical Garden.

Anyone can come by to watch, ask questions or bring their own equipment and paint with her.

Julia will be focusing on representational art – in the tradition of Olaf Wieghorst – but her art spans many genres. Whether novice or professional, Julia can guide and inspire artists developing their knowledge and skills.

The Olaf Wieghorst Museum is excited to offer this new opportunity for interacting with the art community.

Come Paint with Julia!

The Salmagundi Club is coming to the Wieghorst!

 by Jack Doherty 0 comments

The New York Salmagundi Club was established in 1871 by a sculptor and his 2 brothers. As one of the oldest American art clubs many notable artists were past members; Thomas Moran, Louis Tiffany, N.C. Wyeth, Norman Rockwell, Dana Gibson and Howard Pyle to name a few.

The club is promoting plein air painting (painting outside in natural sunlight) by asking Salmagundi members to put on a free event, beginning in September to encourage plein air painting.

Local Salmagundi members have partnered with the Olaf Wieghorst Museum to host an event Friday, September 17, 2021 in the cactus garden or surrounding area.

The artists will paint from 9 to 12, break for a one hour lunch, return to the garden for a critique and then artists may choose to exhibit their completed work in the Wieghorst Museum for 6 weeks. 30% of any sale will go to benefit the Museum.

For detailed information contact Gloria Chadwick at 619 203-0607 or gloriaachadwick@gmail.com. The event is free for any artist wishing to participate.
