December 17th meeting

We had a great meeting. The Show and Tell is really great. We had drawings from our first "Still Life drawing" evening. We also watched a video and painted how light stricks an object. We learned about direct light, indirect light and reflective light.

See the show and tell images below. Thanks to all who brought in their work. As always it is so inspirational!

Painting Saturday

Five members of the YWS came to Painting Saturday during this busy season. We had a great day of building our skills. I am pretty pleased with my painting and will bring it next meeting on December 17th. See you all then!

I can't wait to see the final results of this Painting Saturday! Remember to bring the paintings for the meeting.
