Live art lesson: Follow-along dog painting
■ Tune in Oct. 15 for a lesson and interview with Baker City artist Brian Vegter
BAKER CITY — Artist Brian
Vegter, who specializes in painting
dogs, will lead an online art lesson
to help others paint their own
canine friends.
The event is Thursday, Oct. 15,
at 6:30 p.m. Attendees can tune
in from anywhere to this live-
streamed event. The link to join
can be found at www.travelyr.com/
upcoming-sessions.
Students need acrylic paints,
paintbrushes, a photograph of
your favorite dog and a canvas for
painting. This is for all ages, and
participants can ask questions.
The session will conclude with
a virtual tour of Churchill School,
the historic building that Brian and
his wife, Corrine, bought several
years ago, restored and turned into
a venue for concerts, an art gallery,
bike hostel, studio spaces for artists
and more.
This live art lesson is presented
by Travelyr, an organization that
connects rural art centers and the
artists they support to the world
via livestreamed, follow-along art
experiences.
Travelyr was founded by Dan
Sizer this year in response to the
coronavirus pandemic.
“COVID-19 impacted everyone,”
Sizer said. “In my rural Oregon
community, our nonprofi t art
centers were disproportionately
impacted. I wanted to start a proj-
ect that gave people a reason to
donate to their local art center, and
because everyone needs art.”
Sizer works with artists who dis-
till their craft to a level that anyone
can re-create at home.
The events are free, although
donations from participants go to
support an art venue. Donations
from Vegter’s session will support
Churchill School. To donate, go to

shops, and receive advance notice
of upcoming livestreamed lessons.
The top tier receives a piece of art
from a monthly featured artist.
