Hello Peoples!

Busy, busy happenings at Oasis Studios & Gallery!  My dad and I got the central heat working so it won’t be so bone cold.  That means that we can have the Midnight at Oasis parties!  Now I need to line up some guests.  :)

SEVERAL of you have already signed up for membership at artisticbiker.com! I truly, TRULY appreciate each and every one of you.  Please take the time to poke around and try to break the site.  I’m writing a full guide to go out with the welcome e-mails in the future and I want to be able to address as many confusing issues as I can.  MOST of what is available to you as a premium member will be found under The Classroom link on the upper left column.  There are plenty other things to come, but I am trying to make sure everything is quality as I go.  One thing I definitely need to know about is if you are a premium member and you see a paypal button anywhere, please tell me.  Once you subscribe, all further content is free to you.

We didn’t have a show this week so I wasn’t able to get next week’s password out.  A quick note about the passwords, if you try to access the site on Monday and the password doesn’t work?  It’s because I haven’t gotten around to changing it yet.  That means the previous password is still active and you can look at the last newsletter to find that.  I shall endeavor to be more diligent in the changing of the passwords.  I just don’t want them changed before the newsletter goes out, and I’m usually on my way to work when that happens.

I didn’t have any announcements to make this week, but if you have one, you can always email or dm me with a link to the info and I will add it to this newsletter.  It’s my way of giving back to those who have given me so much.

The Classroom site is http://www.ustream.tv/channel/oasisgalleryok
The password for this week is: shading

Drawing Class:  The Shadow! Tuesday night 6pm central.  This week I will demonstrate how the combined shapes and textures for shading on an object.  We’ll look at something shiny, something rough, and something furry.  Something OTHER than me.

Painting Class: Wednesday night 6pm centralPopcorn Finale! Whether this thing is done or not, this is the finale.  I’ll finish the shading and highlights and demonstrate finishing techniques.

The past classes are moving into the Pay-per-view side of ustream and on artisticbiker.com as well. $2 lets you view them online at Ustream, $5 lets you download them at artisticbiker.com, and a $10/month membership gets you unlimited downloads from the site.  You can also go register for a free membership which puts your name in the hat for things like personal works of art or a gift certificate from Dick Blick etc.
