SATURDAY PAINTING - ADULTS AND TEENS
Judy Gelfert

Judy grew up on her family's ranch in Bowie. After graduating from UT, where she studied, history, German, and painting, she became a flight attendant. Between flights, she sketched paintings in the world's great museums and on her days off experimented with oils. Since she began showing her work in 2002, she has received such honors 1st Place in a National Society of Artists' Juried Competition and acceptances in The Oil Painters of America National Juried
Competitions. She's currently represented by Marta Stafford Fine Art in Marble Falls, Texas, The Good Art Company in Fredericksburg, Texas, and The Upstairs Gallery.

This painting class is for beginning and advanced painters alike. Judy will offer insight on how to achieve dramatic light effects in painting, as well as how to express energy or calmness
in a painting. Though she will focus on painting in oils, those wanting to use acrylics are welcome, but should bring some extender to slow the drying time.
