THE BUZZ                                     May 2008
Here in Sonoma this week: temperatures are breaking record highs and air conditioning is competing with hot plates as new colors and new palettes make their debut.  "The Conference" has us working overtime in preparations.  Here is a glimpse of what's ahead for products and Master Class with Jeff Schaller.
Split Primaries Mixing Palette

Are you looking for the ultimate color set? Here are ready-to-go paint blocks in six colors.  Yes, these are high test colors. There are two irgazines and a cobalt included.  Though the pigments are extravagant, it's the best group I can imagine to use as a basic but luxurious studio set. 
Colors included are Montserrat Magenta, Joanne Loves This Red!, Yellow Ochre Light, Hansa Yellow, Cobalt Blue, and French Ultramarine Blue.  The price is $70 for the set.  It will be available at Montserrat June 6th and mid-June for shipping. 

Schaller Master Class in OctoberCountrySchaller




























Here is my personal favorite of Jeff's work, showing complexity of composition and mastery of color combinations.  I can't wait for his class in Sonoma October 11 and 12th!  Saturday will be specific demonstrations by Jeff of his tools, materials and methods with some pretty funny inside stories he is bold enough to share.  Sunday will be an optional day for each artist to paint using Jeff's techniques and tools with the Master himself supervising.  Of course Sonoma lunch and wine are included both days.  Email me for more information and to reserve your spot.  hylla@comcast.net
 

NEWEST COLOR!
MontserratMagenta
Last year saw the birth of Joanne Loves This Red!, a stunning transparent irgazine color that rapidly became our best seller.  To complement that, another irgazine makes its debut: Montserrat Magenta.  Where JLTRed leans
toward the deep orange side of red, Montserrat Magenta leans toward the ruby side, being cooler with no yellow whatsoever.  It is a knockout!  Ed Angell has used Montserrat Magenta brilliantly.  Send us a jpg of what you've done.  hylla@comcast.net

 
Let's hope for cooler days ahead!  Hope to see you at the Conference June 6-8th.
Sincerely,
