NO CLASSES THE WEEK OF JULY4TH!

Want to learn how Terrie Lombardi paints?

PASTEL WORKSHOP

at the CHEYENNE ARTISTS GUILD

WITH ARTIST, TERRI LOMBARDI

Saturday and Sunday July 7th and 8th, 9-4pm. 

Class is almost full only a few spots left!!!

Cost is $180 for Guild Members and $215 for non members.  

Spots fill up fast so reserve yours today at the Guild. 

Plan to join Terrie Lombardi, Pastel painter of the flower, in one of her inspirational, fun and relaxed floral workshops.  The indoor workshops are open to all levels of students.  Students learn and practice composition, values, color and building of pastels, edges and finishing.  Terrie has developed her own vision and gutsy application and technique of pastels, which enables her to compose floral images which demonstrate a rich expressive use of color and value.  Her classes emphasize teaching the technique of using turpenoid and pastels to create an under painting before adding layers of pastel to finish a beautiful floral painting. The workshop will be held at the Artists Guild located at 1701 Morrie Avenue in Holiday Park.

Steve Rodriguez, July Art Design and Dine Featured Artist at CAG

 "Sentry" 18x24 Airbrush Painting by Steve Rodriquez 

"The Guardian"  18x24 Airbrush Painting by Steve Rodriquez 

Cheyenne Artists Guild presents CAG member,

 Steve Rodriguez 

as the July featured Artist during Art Design and Dine. 

The opening reception will be July 12th from 5-8. 

Stop in to meet Steve and view his work. 

Artist, Steve Rodriguez received both a Bachelor of Arts Degree and a Master of Arts Degree from the University of Wyoming.  Retiring from teaching art at Central High School in 2001 after 32 years, Steve has devoted his talent and time to creating fine art works.

    He works exclusively with the airbrush in his watercolor and acrylic paintings depicting Southwest scenes in bright and radiant colors.  He uses the pottery of the Anazi and Pueblo Indians as subject matter with Monument Valley and the Taos Pueblos of New Mexico as backgrounds.

    His strict attention to detail in life-like realism has lifted the use of the airbrush above and beyond the commerical realm of past airbrush artists.  Thus, he has strived for a fine art quality through decorative and highly realistic motifs in his work.

"The Art of the Flower Workshop"

July 7-8th

For the Love of Tulips III
Pastel, 8 x 8"

Terrie Lombardi's choice of medium is pastel. She says, "Pastels are the perfect solution for my rich use of expressive color and shadows." Terrie creates images that reflect both beauty and dignity revealing the delicate softness of petals in a vase of abundant flowers or the passionate use of color to express the headed perfume of a simple arrangement.

Terrie was born and raised in Denver, Colorado. She has studied at the Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design and the Art Students League of Denver. She has participated in numerous workshops with instructors such as Tony Ortego, Carol Katchen, Quang Ho, Kang Cho, Albert Handell, Lorenzo Chavez, Doug Dawson and Desmond O'Hagan.

Terrie is an active member of the Pastel Society of America and the pastel Society of Colorado where she holds the position of Director at large for the Denver area. She has also taught pastel workshops at the Foothills Art Center in Golden, Colorado.
