INTERACTIVE ACRYLICS "PAINTING PARTY"
Saturday, March 3, 1:00-4:00pm
You're invited to a "Painting Party" at Muse!
Atelier Interactive Acrylics have been a real hit and
they're still winning new fans. Like traditional
acrylics, Interactives dry quickly to the touch, but
there's a BIG difference: When you paint with
Interactives, you can rewet them for up to a week
for continued reworking and blending. Interactives
also stay fresh in a covered palette for weeks, so
your paint and specially mixed colors won't dry
up and go to waste.
Jennifer VonStein from Chroma Paints will join
us on Saturday, March 3 to show how much fun you
can have with the unique properties of these paints
and mediums. It's called a "Painting Party" because
everyone who comes will have plenty of time to
experiment and play with the paints themselves.
This event if free, but space is limited, so please
call 503-231-8704 to RSVP by Thursday, March
1.

RECENT PAINTINGS BY SHELLY BUCHANAN
Reception: Friday, February 23, 6-9pm
From February 6 through March 16, Muse Art and
Design will show oil paintings by Southeast Portland
artist Shelly Buchanan. Shelly's work is based on
natural settings in Oregon and Northern California,
capturing the energy, emotion, and drama of each
setting rather than depicting landscapes in a literal
manner.
The public is invited to a reception on Friday,
February 23, 2007, from 6:00 - 9:00 pm.
