Stressed? In pain? Take a break with us while we paint a relaxing winter scene with your peers who “get it”. While this is our last art class of 2022, we are coming back strong in 2023! (In fact, you can register here)
Supplies:
Acrylic paints: Blue / Purple / Yellow / White / Brown / Black / Red (or your choice bird color)
Brushes: Flat 3/4in OR similar size; Round size #8 or smaller
Good news to fans of our art class! We’ll be painting a classic acrylic painting this December 15th at 8pm ET
If you’re able to or interested in signing up, then here’s all the info you need
It’s another BYOAS class – Bring Your Own Art Supplies
Please sign up here if you’d like to join us! All ability levels are welcome! I’ll be instructing everyone step-by-step on how to paint this. As always, feel free to add your own flair of creativity – different trees, different arrangement of trees, more birds, more branches, different colors, anything to make you love it even more 🙂
Acrylic paints: Blue / Purple / Yellow / White / Brown / Black / Red (or your choice bird color)
Brushes: Flat 3/4in OR similar size; Round size #8 or smaller
Canvas: 9in x 12in (or whatever size you want!)
Water / napkins / paper plate or palette
We’ll be using a whole lot of white paint, so make sure you have plenty of that.
As for brushes, sizes are approximate. If you have something smaller, it may take a little longer (maybe!) and if you have a size a little larger, it may take a shorter amount of time (again, maybe!).
If you have family coming in for the holidays, they’re absolutely welcome to have fun with us!!
I will send out the link to class a day or so beforehand 🙂
As always, please let me (Hannah@AnCan.org) or Alexa (Alexa@AnCan.org) know if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions. Hopefully you can join us!
Don’t forget to sign up at the link above. Looking forward to seeing you next week!
Now here’s an uplifting pancreatic cancer story for you.
Jay Sandler of Canopy Cancer Collective celebrates almost a decade as a pancreatic cancer survivor. He later went on to be our moderator for our support group.
Read his story at the Hirshberg Foundation about what must have felt like a never-ending treatment journey.
Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month is over, but there’s still plenty of reason to celebrate stories and celebrate survivors. If you or a loved one happens to also be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, drop into one of our group meetings. We meet on the 4th Thursday of each month at 8 pm ET / 7 pm CT / 6 pm MT / 5 pm PT in the AnCan Schmier Room.
We LOVE our Art Friends here at AnCan! Not only do we create beautiful things together, but we take the time to come together as a community. All of our “students” are learning more and more each time, and we use those skills in other classes.
We also truly care about what matters to you. In fact, this art class project was requested by AnCan Art Friend Sharon, who wants to see the northern lights in person. Do you have any ideas for future classes? Just let us know!!
For this class, you’ll need
Paper
Your choice of medium – markers, pen, pencil, colored pencils, paint, watercolor pencils, anything that can mark.
Last night Invitae and the National Society of Genetic Counselors (NSGC) honored our amazing Advisory Board Member and Genetic Counselor, Lindsey Byrne, as one of the 14 Finalists for the Genetic Counselor of the Year Award during the National Society of Genetic Counselors Annual Conference in Nashville, TN.
While Lindsey was not selected amongst the top 3, both we and she were honored Lindsey was invited to the Awards Ceremony. Nominated by our AnCan Advanced Prostate Cancer Group regular, Frank Fabish, who seeks his care at The Ohio State The James Comprehensive Cancer Center where Lindsey works as a Counselor and Professor, Frank and his wife Gail have benefitted and much enjoyed their consults with Lindsey. She is one of the very few genetic counselors who specializes in working with genitourinary and prostate cancer patients. Lindsey sent us a pix from the Awards Ceremony that has our Star in the foreground with nominator and nominee behind!
Lindsey has hosted and appeared in AnCan webinars as you see below. She also LOVES promoting our cause!
