Monthly Meetings and More: In This Issue: 1. Meeting Update; Member
Accomplishments;
Upcoming COW Events
(2016):
1.a.) Meeting Update:
At the September 10, 2016 COWS meeting: Suzanne Accetta demonstrated the use of graphing software as an effective tool in your art production. She will be demonstrating several applications on her Ipad and explain the pros and cons of each. It is exciting and a time saver to be able to take a picture of a current work and make adjustments to your work on a computer. If you don't like it try another approach without muddying your actually painting.
1.b.) Member Accomplishments: Jim Oberst has a 1-man exhibit at Somedays
Bistro, 101 Mill Street, Gahanna from October 2
until January 7, 2017. His reception is
scheduled for Wednesday, November 16,
from 6 to 9 pm. But stop by any time to enjoy
the artwork, food, and wine.
Vivian Ripley invites you to visit her exhibit at Argo and Lehne Jewelers in Upper Arlington (3100 Tremont Road, immediately north of the intersection of Tremont and Zollinger). The exhibit extends through November, and includes 16 of Vivian's works in watercolor, acrylic, and pastel, with a theme of "Autumn in Central Ohio". All of the works are for sale. Argo and Lehne hours are Monday-Friday, 10:00 AM- 7:00 PM, and Saturday, 10:00 AM- 5:00 PM

“Painting Architecture”
October 17-19 2015
Members $250 before 09/15/16., $275 after 09/15/16. Non-members $310
Classically trained Russian-born American artist Vladislav Yeliseyev received his
formal art education in 1977 and later earned his Master’s Degree at The Moscow
Institute of Architecture. Since then he moved to the United States and participated
in numerous group and individual exhibitions. His unique ability to reflect
transparency of natural light in his paintings and to accentuate the artistic qualities
of depicted objects quickly earned him a high reputation among art collectors. He
also worked for various commercial, residential and government projects such as
Red Cross, Universities, Hospitals, etc. Presently, Vladislav (Vlad) is practicing his art from his own art
studio in Sarasota, FL. In 1996 Vladislav won the Formal Presentation Drawing Award from American
Society of Architectural Illustrators. After receiving lots of inquires about his watercolor techniques, he
released an instructional DVD – watercolor workshop with Vladislav Yeliseyev “Painting Architecture”.
Vladislav Yeliseyev is a founder of Renaissance School of Art in Sarasota, FL where he teaches classes
and workshops all year round. Vlad is an award winning artist and an exhibiting member of many art
societies nationwide including American Impressionist Society, American Watercolor Society, and Florida
Watercolor Society. He is a signature member of National Watercolor Society, Florida Suncoast
Watercolor Society and others.
Vladislav Yeliseyev is a plein air artist participating in paintouts nationwide and abroad. He has won
numerous competitions during national paintouts. His most recent is an award at the 2015 Plein Air
Easton Quick Draw competition. http://www.yeliseyev.com
We look forward to seeing you at the workshop! The workshop will be held at The Vineyard Church, 4051 Indian Ripple Road, Beavercreek, Ohio from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm, with a one hour lunch break.

PRINT your name and address and phone number on a label and place on left hand corner of the back of each painting. Also include the form below. COWS By-laws: Transparent watercolor only may be used as the painting medium. “Transparent watercolor” is defined as paint so marked and advertised as “watercolor” by the manufacturer. Thus all other water-based media and any white paint shall not be used. The paint may be applied directly as it comes from the tube or pan, or diluted with water. No other material shall be permanently added to the painting surface or mixed with the watercolor medium, except graphite pencil may be used for the initial structural drawing. The surface on which the watercolor is applied shall be paper, sized only by the manufacturer. No additional substance shall be applied to the support material nor any other support surface used. Paintings copied from photographs, other than your own, or during a workshop or classroom situation are not eligible. COWS BYLAWS Article I: “The purpose of the society is to further interest in, and status of, the use of transparent watercolor for the benefit of each member and for the development of public interest in the medium”. The Central Ohio Watercolor Society was founded in 1964 and is the preeminent transparent watercolor
COWS Newsletter page 10
society in the region. Modern technology has produced many new "water media" products, referring to any medium that is water soluble, and there are many societies that present opportunities to exhibit work created with these new products. However, the Central Ohio Watercolor Society remains dedicated to its original purpose to promote and preserve the unique character of transparent watercolor. We have over 100 members and most of the members are award winning artists with regional and national reputations. More information can be found on our web site, www.centralohiowatercolorsociety.com. The society meets once a month, usually on the second Saturday of the month, at the McConnell Art Center, 777 Evening Street in Worthington, Ohio. We have 2 juried shows a year with cash prizes and many interesting programs during the year. You will meet many talented people that will share their love of the arts. We also have critiques and workshops that help us in our quest to become better artists. The dues are $30.00 a year.
