34 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | JUNE 2018 Mixed Media Arts Class Formerly Creative Drawing & Sketching Class Teacher Rob Kelman The Computer Technology Group meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 10:30 in the RCN building. We try to announce the current month's subject via email before the meeting so, if you are on our mailing list, watch for subject announcement. Come on out and learn some valuable things about our tech devices. We encourage questions, discussion and suggestions for future meetings. ~ Howard Lyon Computer Technology This is the perspective of our Artist of the Month Christine Vergara: I began attending Rob's class back in 2011 when it was strictly a drawing class. I had always wanted to learn to draw and after all the years it seemed like the perfect opportunity. It has been a wonderful journey. I have learned so much from Rob, like watercolor pencils. Other students are now working in acrylic paint, pastels, pen and ink, and other types of colored pencils. Rob Kelman still teaches basic drawing to new students, but is able to help and challenge even the most advanced in our class, some of whom have been drawing all their lives. We have a wonderful time in class. Rob always keeps the instruction supportive and constructive, and it is so satisfying to see all of us progress. If you've ever wondered if you have hidden artistic talent, come to class. Rob will help you find and develop it and I guarantee you will have fun along the way. My picture of the month is a watercolor pencil drawing of my friend's Vermont barn in mid-summer. We have a special treat in store for our June meeting. Nancy January, daughter of long time Wine Club members Randy and Sue Balt, will be educating us on wines from J. Lohr Winery, located in the Central Coast area of California. Nancy is a Certified Level 2 WSET (Wine and Spirits Education Trust) which is equivalent to a Certified Sommelier. However, Sommeliers focus more on restaurant service, where WSET focuses more on the academic side of the regions, varietals and production. J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines have been family operated for more than four decades. We will be tasting wines from both their Estate and Vineyard series, while discussing the region of the Central Coast of California and Sustainable Growing Practices. Our meeting will be held June 21 (the third Thursday of the month) in the Ballroom. Doors open at 5:15 pm with the meeting starting at 6 pm. Please bring a favorite wine to share with your table along with an appetizer such as crackers, cheese, fruit, dessert or anything in between along with two glasses for tasting. Members $5, guests $10, and non-resident guests $15.
