Susan Carlin Art
Studio & Gallery
I dreamed about having a studio and gallery for a long time... and now
it's true! I'm usually there Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and
Saturdays, painting and offering day-long, personal instruction and
generally grinning ear-to-ear. 418 Villita Street, 14B. 210-226-3992.
The way I teach now....
Until recently, I taught pastel and oil classes in the usual manner:
a 2-and-a- half or 3-hour format to small groups of students. Now that
the Studio/Gallery is open, Im teaching one person at a time. Benefits?
More personal attention, and long enough time to actually get some work
done! Please contact me if you're interested or have questions. I love
to see people get turned on by painting!

Commissions News
I've had a terrific series of portrait commissions since opening the
gallery. Currently I'm working on two for a client in Louisiana- of
herself with her sister for a Mother's Day gift for her mom, and the
other of her mom and her mom's Maltese dog for her sister. The commission
waiting for me after those is one for the most charming Irish fellow
of a beautiful young woman using a black and white reference photo clipped
from the newspaper in 1961. Glutton for punishment? Nah, it's an intriguing
challenge!

February saw the beginning of a new pastel society in San Antonio.
I was honored to be asked to present the program for the first meeting-
a pastel portrait demonstration. If you work in pastel anywhere near
S.A., you'll want to be a member. Meetings, demonstrations, paint-outs,
workshops, exhibition possibilites... and more!

Austin
Pastel Society
I've been a member of this group for three years now and have
grown so much as an artist with the support and encouragement they've
offered. If you do pastels anywhere near San Antonio or Austin, I urge
you to join and get to know these wonderful artists.
