Check out my mini workshops – the monthly “4th Thursday” art session at Central Art Supply. For those of you who have not attended yet, it’s from 1-4pm. We have a fun and supportive group who enjoy all things that are art & painting related! The small class size ( in a big room) allows for lots of personal attention, and there is room for you too : )
Bring the projects that you want to finish and/or improve, or start completely new ones with my guidance. I’m here to help!
Here is a sketch I’ve done in gouache. If you have never worked in this medium, consider giving it a try. I find it an easy and convenient way to do quick sketches- especially on location. It also serves watercolorists, acrylic, and oil painters equally since its properties are similar to all of the above.

Here’s a quick reminder about art classes with Silvia Trujillo.
Meeting time for the Thursday, October 28 mini-workshops at Scrappy Craft is now 10am-1pm. The following class will be Thursday, December 2, also 10-1pm. Looking forward to seeing you then! Contact me directly to confirm your attendance.
There is still room for you at the Alpaca farm – Plein Air class – this Saturday! The weather’s looking good, and Fall colors will be abundant. Sign up through the Rogue Gallery Art Center
Here are a few new plein air works completed this summer. The smoke was challenging, but it created a surreal atmosphere and made for interesting color harmonies. The lavender farm at the base of Mt Hood is spectacular! I suggest making it a priority to visit sometime next summer.

I’m still here; painting a lot and teaching when I can. The past 18 months have seen some challenging times for everyone! I wish each of you well during all the difficulties.
Looking for beauty where it can be found, experiencing life’s simple pleasures, and being in the moment as much as possible; these are the things that are getting me through. May the same be true for you.
Painting is a way of life and a source of salvation for me. Offering these works of art for others to enjoy brings me great joy; so when you have a moment take a look at my latest offerings.
You can view my latest paintings on eBay- see my store link below. Just let me know what interests you, and contact me directly (via email), for an additional 15% savings.
Are you on Facebook or Instagram? I’d love to keep in touch with you there as well!

At the end of the month, I’ll be resuming teaching at Scrappy Craft in Phoenix, OR with a mini-workshop called “Improve Your Paintings – 101”. The class is for anyone who wants to advance their painting and drawing skills with me- a teacher who has loads of experience, and a knack for personal coaching. The class is Thursday, August 26 from 1-4 pm / $25 cash, PayPal, or checks only. Contact me directly to reserve your spot.
On August 28, 10am- 5pm, Rogue Gallery in Medford is hosting my all-day workshop ( see attached flyer) “ Composing the Landscape”. There is still time for you to sign up! Call or email them directly to sign up. If you have questions email me here, but enrollment is through the gallery only.
I’m pleased to say that 3 of my works were accepted in the “Haystack Rock” show in the Cannon Beach Gallery! The show is up and running until August 29. If you’re in the area be sure and stop by to see the many artistic variations of that awe-inspiring Haystack!
And here are some of my recent works done en plein air.

Silvia Trujillo Summer Newsletter
Lately I’ve been setting my sights for a greater understanding of balance, adaptation, and peace in my life. May all of you be well in these most unusual times, and managing to find some serenity in your lives.
Finding beauty wherever I can, and continuing to paint has been my saving grace.
Several of my patrons have been acquiring more art from me since there is so much nesting going on. I’m grateful to be able to provide them with new work for their collections, and for their fresh decorating schemes.
Attached is a link to my eBay store. Why not take a moment and look to see if there is something you’re attracted to. I will be delighted to hear your feedback!.
Also attached is a link to a recent videotape of me doing a painting. I think you will find it very entertaining
And here’s a special gift: For those of you who send me a photo of the painting you already own of my work, I will send you a one- of-a- kind, handmade, block print card (suitable for framing) from one of my original designs. Since I’ve been more active on social media, I’m asking collectors to send photos of my work in the setting where they are being displayed so that I can share them…You can (or not) include yourself with the work.

I’ve been thinking about you, and sending you all well wishes during these most unusual and challenging times.
Obviously, I have not been teaching (except for a few online critiques), but missing it much. I hope you have found the inspiration, time, and effort needed to continue to produce art in whatever form that has taken for you. I’ve managed to do several plein air works, and a studio piece here and there. Also, I completed a commission of a pet portrait. See the attached examples, and tell me if you recognize any of the locations 🙂
Artist Attic/ Scrappy Craft is now open, and I can resume Wednesday classes. Of course there will be precautions, sanitation, and distancing measures being taken. We want everyone to feel safe! If you are a returning student please let me know if you will like to return on Wed, May 20 , and I will reserve a spot for you. The class size is limited. If you are new, and would like to join the class, let’s see what kind of arrangements can be made. I will do my best to accommodate you!
Are you on Instagram by any chance? Some of my time has been spent getting familiar with that, and I’m finding that it is a quick and easy way to keep my art and art related info out there without too much of a time commitment. It also links to my Facebook page. The links are below. Let’s connect on these social platforms if we haven’t already done so. I will love to keep in touch with you that way! The plein air works are posted there, including a photo of the location, and the painting in progress. It’s pretty informative, so check it out.
If you would like to join in any of the plain air sessions, I believe we can manage that in a safe way. All the while, I will be helping you learn the wonderful art of painting from life and on location.

There are a few upcoming events I would like to share with you :
The first one is the 2nd Annual So Oregon Art Show being held at the Medford First Christian Church on Crater Lake Ave in Medford. I will be there with some of my latest work, and I’m planning on doing caricatures for those who would like to pose for a few minutes. There is going to be a great variety of art by some of So Oregon’s finest! So come on out and say “hi”!
Then there is:
On Sunday, March 22 from 12-2pm join myself, and 2 other artists who will be doing a painting demo to the live music of Peter Stone at the Art & Soul Gallery in Ashland. These events are super fun and informative. Past attendees really enjoyed themselves!
Local artists discuss the evolution of their art over the years and present digital photos of their work at a monthly Art Salon held on the last Sunday of every month at the Ashland Library.
Come and see slides of over 20 years of work! I’m looking forward to presenting years of images that I’ve produced along the West Coast and New Mexico. I’m looking forward to be able to see them on the “big screen.” It’ll be fun!
