ASCP Prize Package & Ticket Giveaway!

***This giveaway is now closed***

On March 31, I am finally going to get to meet Annie Sloan when she teaches a workshop in Leesburg, VA while on her North American Tour.  I started using her paint back in April and it’s become one of my very favorite paints to use.

 

The DC Metro area ASCP stockists are celebrating the upcoming Leesburg, VA North American Tour event with a giveaway!   You may be familiar with some of these ladies and their businesses…

Celeste Blumenauer of Catfish Studios
Kelly Thompson of Stylish Patina
Denise Nolan and Bobbi Morris of Repurposed & Refined
and Janet Metzger of The Empty Nest

What’s up for grabs? 

  • One free ticket to the Annie Sloan Tour Event located at the National Conference Center in Leesburg, VA on March 31, 2012 from 9 am-5 pm
  • Basket of ASCP goodies including 2 qts of ASCP paint in colors chosen by the winner, one can of clear wax and one of dark wax, the New Waxwell wax brush, Annie’s new Craqueleur System and an Annie Sloan apron.

Can I enter if I can’t attend?  YES!

If you are not able to attend the event due to distance or a schedule conflict, you can still enter the giveaway.  One winner will be chosen at random.  If that winner can attend the giveaway, that individual will win the ticket as well as the gift basket.  If the initial winner cannot attend the event, they still win the gift basket and a second local winner can be chosen to win the ticket only.  Does that makes sense?  Worth playing for?

How to enter…

  • To enter, simply leave a comment letting me know if you can attend the event or not.
  • For a second entry, visit one of the DC stockist’s sites above and leave a comment letting me know which color or Annie Sloan product you’re most excited about trying.

The details…

The giveaway will close on Sunday, March 18, 2012 at midnight EST.  A winner (or two) will be randomly chosen and announced on Monday, March 19, 2012.  You must live in the lower 48 US States and be over the age of 18 to be eligible to win.

Good luck!

custom cut plywood art panels

When I first started painting with oils, I bought a smattering of substrates to test.  I painted on stretched canvas and linen, canvas and linen panels, oil paper, and gesso board.  Over the years, I learned that I didn’t like the bounce and fragility of stretched canvas and linen.  I
