We wanted to update you on the arrangements for our EXPO IPAT Museum Convention. We have been diligently searching for a suitable convention venue, but we have encountered some challenges. The hotels in the area are not keen on hosting conventions as they primarily cater to airport travelers at higher rates. However, we have found a solution that allows each of you to make your own hotel bookings. We provide a list of hotels with varying price ranges for you to select your preferred accommodation. This way, we can accommodate everyone's individual preferences and needs. Additionally, we have secured an agreement to rent two rooms at the Grapevine Main, Cotton Belt I and II. This elegant building is located just two blocks from the museum and offers a high-end food court where you can select your own meals. Our rooms on the second floor provide a lovely view of the central area. Please refer to our Convention Schedule. For Thursday night, Oct. 3, we have arranged Farina's Restaurant (https://www.farinaswinery.com), which has a spacious private dining room capable of accommodating our group. It is conveniently located about one block from the museum. We will combine our auction and banquet at this venue, ensuring a memorable and enjoyable experience for all. For Friday night, Oct. 4, will host a Night at the Museum with Food Trucks. The weather should be pleasant enough for us to dine outdoors. The grounds should allow us to have two trucks, not to mention the wide variety of restaurants located within a couple of minutes walk on Main Street.I hope these arrangements meet your expectations and I look forward to seeing each of you at the convention. If you have any questions or concerns, please email me at corinnasiu@hotmail.com.hk or Ellen Wilson Pruitt at ellenwilsonpruitt@gmail.com or Suzanne Painter at suzanne.painter05@comcast.net The 2023 Online Competition was a great success and showcased many truly talented artists. Their artworks will be published in this magazine and upcoming issues, giving them the recognition they deserve. Please be sure to keep an eye out for the Holidaze event in early December. It is a delightful way to celebrate the holiday season with art. Exciting News: IPAT has been awarded 3 grants totaling $11,500. Please visit IPAT’s website for details of our services and IPAT’s Facebook and Instagram for updated news. The website is www.ipatinc.org and includes links to Facebook and Instagram.

It’s the Journey, not the Desnaon Pat Boston Arizona, USA For more than 50 years, Pat Boston has been on a journey that Porcelain Art has mapped. In 1970 she met Margaret Noble, a china painter who introduced her to porcelain art, and the journey began. Living between Balmore and Washington, D.C., provided a rich opportunity to visit the Maryland China store on a regular basis. Soon she was on a rst-name basis with the owner, the late Sonny Weiner. The circle of china painters in her area hailed from Washington, D.C., northern Virginia and Maryland, where there were opportunies to learn and to paint with arsts who had a wide range of interests and talents. Pat and a few of her arst friends decided to expand their horizons to painng in oils by studying at the Mitchell School of Fine Arts in Balmore. That led Pat to a three-year snt as an oils copyist in the Masters Gallery of the Naonal Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. There was a need for more opportunies to gather as a group to share ideas, so Pat became one of the founding members of the China Painng Arsts of Maryland and later the president of that organizaon. While a member of the Potomac China Painng Teachers, there were opportunies to paint ornaments for a Christmas Tree that was displayed in the Smithsonian Instuon, the world’s largest museum, educaon and research complex with 21 museums and the Naonal Zoo. (They kept the ornaments aer the display nished, so I guess she could say her work is in the Smithsonian.) Pat demonstrated porcelain painng in the Renwick Gallery, Washington, D.C., during the Dresden show at the gallery. It was quite an honor to be painng across the street from the White House. During those 25 years, Pat taught porcelain art classes both in her home studio and in local facilies, making lifelong friends along the way. In 1997, she moved to Arizona and found new arst friends. She now paints, and teaches informally with a group in Chandler, Arizona. IPAT was there through it all, providing the inspiraon and opportunity to study with arsts from around the world. From Tybee Island to the Oregon coast and all across the USA, IPAT has provided links to arsts from around the world. It is truly an internaonal organizaon. 26

Poinsettias Study by Dianne MoorePoinsettias Study by Dianne MoorePaint colors: Persian Red Purple, Blood Red, Rich Brown, Lime Green, Yellow Red, Chrome Green, Mixing Yellow, Teal, Air Blue.First Fire:Don’t sketch my pattern on, paint it on. Determine where you want your center of your poinsettia. Put a load of Rich Brown in the center. Start out painting the white poinsettia with a mixture of Teal, Blue and Lime Green on the brush. Paint the white petals towards the center.Then take a clean brush dipped in turpentine and wipe out petals, cleaning brush each time, using no oil. Use a #10 square shader and wipe out towards center vein. Remove enough paint so that they are white. Then use the rubber wipe out tool and outline centers. Clean out with small brush and put Mixing Yellow in them. Then add green leaves, wipe out and re to .01834
Second Fire:Add darks where you can get a good punch of color, especially behind the white owers. Start painting in the detail on the owers and shading. Then paint all the leaves and owers again. Wash light washes of color on white petals. Wipe back out to desired depth and color. Start placing Rich Brown behind the white ower and oat it all around the piece. Fire to .018Third Fire:This is the last re. Add more darks and details. You can use Purple and add it on top of the brown around the white ower. Then add Air Blue and very thin Purple and do the background. Fire to .01835
Alice Wofford, Arkansas, USA COLORS: Pearl Metallic, Warm Shadow, Yellow Brown #2, Chocolate Brown, Rich Brown, Black, Slate, Baby Blue, Midnight Blue, Clear Rose and Mauve. FIRST FIRE: Mix Pearl Metallic with water base medium until smooth (not runny). Add enough water to make it like heavy cream. Pounce this evenly over your piece-no bubbles, no thick spots. Pounce it a second time to have it as smooth as possible. Set aside and let it dry completely. Mix the Pearl Metallic powder with open medium like mineral oil. Mix until creamy (not runny). Apply a thin coat over the dried unfired metallic. Use a light touch and completely cover your piece. Your piece should look moist not wet. Fire at Cone .017 or .018. SECOND FIRE: Trace the pattern or draw a design using a soft lead pencil. Paint your design a bit heavier than normal. It is like working on bisque. Most of the design is formed by shadow work. SCENE: 1. BUILDINGS: Shape and shadow with browns, Warm Shadow for the steeple. Paint the shadows with a variety of Slate and Mauve straight and mixed to form roofs and snow. Wipe out the snow while the paint is wet. Put in a few shadows in front of a few buildings with Midnight Blue. 2. MOUNTAINS AND STREAM: The middle mountains, ridges and trees are formed by painting the shadows behind them with the same colors as the buildings. Trees without snow are painted in with Midnight Blue. Form the higher mountains with Midnight Blue. The higher mountains are painted in with Slate, a bit of Midnight Blue and Clear Rose. Farther away the mountain, the more purple it looks. The stream is Midnight Blue on the edges and Baby Blue in the center. Add some reeds here and there along the edge in Chocolate Brown. Fire at Cone .017 36
THIRD FIRE: 1. BUILDINGS: Darken shadows on the buildings in Rich Brown and Black. Add a touch of Black to Warm Gray for shadows on the steeple. Add Black to Mauve for shadows on the church and houses in the center. For lighter shadows use only Slate, for darker shadows add a little Midnight Blue. Using a dry brush with Slate, brush over the pathway of the village, leaving lots of snow drifts. 2. TREES: Using the darker shadow color and the side of a square shader make slice stokes to suggest heavy forest (hardwood) on the right side. Paint in a few trees with Rich Brown. 3. MOUNTAINS AND STREAM: Darken the edges of the stream with Midnight Blue blend toward center so that it looks frozen. Darken the mountain shadows with Midnight Blue and Mauve. Add a little Baby Blue for the sky. Keep this light or it will change the colors of your mountains. Fire at Cone .017. 37
Texas, USAFor as long as I can remember, I have been interested in art. As a teenager, I showed my work successfully at the Calgary Stampede in Canada and received encouragement to continue developing my artistic abilities. I paint on both porcelain and glass and enjoy the many challenges that come with painting and firing in this medium. I really enjoy painting most subjects but especially love to paint cats and multiple petal flowers such as peonies, hydrangeas and poinsettias. Since coming to live in Corpus Christi, I have begun to paint many more nautical themes. I have taught numerous seminars and workshops in both Canada and the United States and I am an acve member in numerous china painng organizaons at the local, state and internaonal level. I am currently the President of the China Painng Teachers of Texas, the Corpus Chris Hi-Lights Porcelain Club, on the execuve board of the State Federaon of Porcelain Art Clubs of Texas, and Past President of the Porcelain Arsts of Canada. My work has been published in a number of naonal and internaonal magazines and my porcelain and glass artworks can be found in private collecons in Canada, the United States, England and Europe.Susan Greathouse38

Roses were my rst love, but have broad-ened to paint anything that catches my eye. Inspiration comes from photos and what my family asks me to paint for them. I do not have any one specialty. In my home one would see painted portraits of my grandchildren, my farm animals and owers, as well as farm and wildlife scenes. I just paint what I enjoy painting at the moment.Missouri, USAMissouri, USALola MillerLola Miller41
Joyce Baiss Florida, USA Painng birds has always been my favorite subject. Personally, the vibrant colors in their feathers, mimic the way I see things in life. When teaching my students to paint birds, the most important skill I emphasize is to keep their brush strokes and the blending of the colors as clean as possible. It’s important to paint one color at a me, so that the subject doesn’t become out of focus during ring due to the translucent porcelain paints. As you all know, blending the colors can be challenging and, if not done correctly, can oen result in mud. For an arst who enjoys heavy brush strokes, using bright colors and heavy brush strokes in this medium can oen result in the paint running during ring. Therefore, it is crucial to focus on how smooth the paint ows in order to avoid build up. In order to avoid running, carefully load the paint on your brush and don’t start painng your subject unl you are happy with how smoothly the paint moves on the palee. It is important to always test the ow of the paint on a palee before applying it on your piece. 42

I am an American arst and a nave Texan. Painng since 1973, I primarily use oils, watercolors and oils on porcelain.Joanna BurchJoanna Burch Texas, USATexas, USAArranging Values While Composing One’s ArtworkArranging Values While Composing One’s ArtworkI paint because I nd the process very challenging. I also nd the study of light and its ability to transform everything from color, value, form, shape and space to be fascinang. When I rst began to paint, my goal was just to put the image on the surface. Then, over the years, with pracce, I learned how to improve that image for others to understand it more clearly (colors, value, composion, edges, all that theory). Now, I am learning how to make my body of work more personal and meaningful to myself and my audience. There is a magic that happens when light, shadow, color and details give life to even the most mundane and common of subjects. As an arst, I have an obligaon to help others see the world a lile dierently. Art can do that.As arsts, I believe that the level of experse we aain depends on three aributes, desire, discipline, and tenacity. To what degree we use those qualies will determine our endless possibilies of learning.For this arcle I have focused on the composion of sll life pieces. The arrangement of values in the composion will direct the viewer to areas that are most important to you and your story. Unity is important. In starng, I set up my own items to paint, trying to overlap shapes to create a ”busy area” and leaving open “silent areas” for variety. I usually end up taking mulple photos and then narrowing it down to my favorite. Cropping the photo so that some shapes go o the page gives the composion weight or aachment to the edge. When I rst choose what to include in my set-up, I am thinking about a variety of things such as textures, colors, repeon of shapes and colors. 50
I have produced a value study for each of two painngs (each study has the name below) so that you may see how I have kept the dierent values together, organized or grouped. There are half tones in the lights, and halones in the darks but they are similar in value and stay connected. This keeps the composion from looking “spoy”. The formed shadows and the cast shadows help to hold the darker mass together. They are like pathways. An area that does not have midtones to transion from light to dark creates “contrast”, a hard edge. Light and dark side by side catches the eye quickly to form a focal point. by Joanna Burchby Joanna BurchTwo Value Studies Showing Only Light and DarkTwo Value Studies Showing Only Light and DarkIn this “Creamer and Bowl of Cherries,” the lights dominate.In this “Creamer and Bowl of Cherries,” the lights dominate.In this “It Should Be Salsa Someday,” the darks dominate.In this “It Should Be Salsa Someday,” the darks dominate.51

With the large brush, brush from side to side to smooth your painting and give the look of water. Clean out some of the light areas as needed. With the chisel edge of your brush wipe-out some lines running cross-wise for the look of water. 10.Fire at Cone .017.53
Georgina (Gina) MarganArizona, USAMy mother was a great artist. Watching her paint on those big canvases always fascinated me, and I dreamed of one day being able to do the same. While still in High School, I took classes in oil, pastel and acrylic painting. I was unable to continue, and did not paint anymore for many years. In 2015, I found a Porcelain Painting teacher in Tucson, Summer Celeste, who helped me realize that this is ‘my’ medium. I’ve been painting ever since, being fortunate enough to attend seminars in other states where I learned different techniques from extraordinary teachers such as Janet Nelson, Marci Blattenberger, Paula Lavergne, Alzora Zaremba and others. I’m immensely grateful to all of them!54
