  Decorative Artists of Southwest Florida
...It's time for "Back to the Beach" - may your brush strokes all be perfect!


May PROGRAM: Smiling Faces

Picture

It  is time for May flowers and these beauties will bring a smile to any face.

Martha loves color and loves teaching  everything 'art' so you will be sure to enjoy your day painting with her. It will put you in a sunny mood!

Members will receive a free 12 x 12 canvas but they can go on any surface you would like. They would be nice on a memory box. They would look equally great on a large canvas. This will be an easy fun program to just relax and immerse yourself in sunshine yellow.


The surface is FREE to members and is available to non-members for $2.
 
GUESTS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME!



RESOLVED! I WILL PAINT EVERY MONTHLY PROGRAM IN 2018. . .

What a wonderful way to build your painting skills. With a group of excellent teachers leading members through a different program every month, follow the New Year's resolution above and you will be a much better painter with a group of great painting friends. Guests are always welcome and are the secret ingredient to a STRONG Chapter.

Just click the photo of a program to learn about project details for the monthly project.
Remember
GUESTS ARE WELCOME!



Decorative Artists and Who we Are
. . .Read on to learn about us, our programs, and our seminars . . .


Who We Are . . .

The Decorative Artists of Southwest Florida (DASF) are local members of the international Society of Decorative Painters (SDP). Our objective is to promote the art of painting for those who wish to learn to paint in all mediums. We welcome all ages and all levels of abilities from those with no experience to the accomplished artist!

Meetings in 2018 will offer a great variety of designs. Visit us at a general meeting as a guest. We welcome you to attend two meetings before you are expected to join the Chapter. We meet the second Saturday of every month. Dues for DASF are bargain priced at only $20 per year - that is less than $2.00 for a monthly meeting that always includes a great painting project by one of our talented instructors. See the Meetings Menu above for what is being offered for 2017. 2018 Programs will be available soon for your viewing pleasure.

Meetings begin with a Social Time and light refreshments at 9:00am followed by the meeting at 9:30am. Each meeting is followed by a brown bag lunch and a painting program. 


PLEASE: Find a map to the meeting near the top of each program page. Click on the word "map" and you will be directed to the Cape Coral Art League.
