Hello Friends,
This is Matt Burns, FOSAS Director, and I had an intriguing memory
pop into my head the other day. I remember watching the Match
Game in the afternoon during the 1970’s. It was appointment
television for creative word play, with two tiers of panelists trading
information, ideas and a little zaniness. It is often just as zany,
creative, and inviting in the upstairs FOSAS office!
As FOSAS Director, it can be very humorous to be in the upper
floor of an historic building, as I hear the sounds of creative minds
at work together, sharing stories and ideas with each other. I
am appreciative I get to share the view and the adventure with
Donna DeTurris, the Sharon Art Studio Director for SFRPD, and
Cassandra Sechler, the FOSAS Administrative Assistant.
In the spirit of the Match Game, I asked Cassandra and Donna to
think of a word to complete this sentence. “Sharon Art Studio is
so alive, when we unlock the door in the morning; the first sound we
hear is…?” To this Cassandra blurted out “Ghosts making coffee!”
And Donna replied, “Footsteps of the past!” We all shared a good
laugh.
These “footsteps” really do seem to be present each day. They
echo throughout the building, and I wonder what was created last
night. What artist was inspired within these walls? What student
went home with a new technique or satisfaction with what he or she
accomplished? As our journey continues, we look forward to many
inspiring pieces, stories, and lessons taught within these walls.
We hope this brochure and the many offerings at Sharon Art Studio
inspire and awaken the artist in you. A pot of coffee goes on, and
our day begins. And so does Spring 2015!

SHARON ART STUDIO’S
STUDENT SPRING SALE
FOSAS Member’s Preview: 10am-11am

Seasonal skill
Some of the top questions my students ask me are
“How did you come up with that?” & “How did you
think of this?”
The answer is usually long and drawn out and also
changes with each piece. Inspiration can come from
a multitude of different sources- conversations with
friends (“your mom should paint skulls!”), movies,
books, magazines, art exhibits, nature, the list goes
on. The point is to capture the moment of “flash of
brilliance” and work on it.
Wherever your inspiration comes from, do not give
up. Even if the design, in whatever you do, does not
work, that in itself can be an inspiration. (Even if at
the time you just want a cup of hot cocoa.)

Vesta Kirby
8 weeks in the Jewelry Studio
40047 Thu 3/26-5/14, 6:30-9:30pm
Expressive Brushstrokes focuses on
capturing the “essence” of nature’s
elements. Your paintings will take on a
fresh liveliness by learning a repertoire
of spontaneous effective marks. Each
brushstroke becomes three dimensional
expressing the rhythmic vitality present in
all life forms. You will learn how “Heart
and Hand must be in accord” for this
magical dance with the brush. We will
work with natural forms of flora, leaves,
foliage, trees, rocks; all the elements
in the landscape. Both traditional wet
and dry watercolor techniques will
be addressed in this class. Individual
attention and direction is emphasized for
personal expression.

The immediacy of mixing rich and
colorful textures right onto the paper

blending and overlaying color will be
demonstrated. Experience a quick lively
sketching style for drawings and also
the process for creating well developed
paintings. How to use and mix colors
will be included along with basic pastel
fundamentals. The focus is the natural
world, still life and photographic images
of nature. The instructor works with each
individual for their expression and use of
pastel. No experience is necessary. No
class 4/4.

In this course we will be inspired by our
own day to day images throughout our
city environment. All our observations can
convey meaning when we pay attention
to the light. From our own compositions,
we can capture a sense of place, and
translate an intimate perspective in the
urban and natural world.
Pen & Ink Watercolor
Vesta Kirby
39793 Wed 3/25-5/13, 10am-1pm
This class will combine pen & ink to
the watercolor media. We will learn
and practice different techniques for
a successful process and result. Basic
watercolor techniques will be reviewed
as well as techniques for the ink pen
and ways to hold the pen. You will learn
to create texture as well as variation of
line with the pen. Be prepared to explore
these exciting new techniques to capture
the living essence of nature. We’ll begin
with a variety of Nature’s still life set ups
and then work from your own photographs
