December Painting Saturday

Well I have been remiss on updating the blog.

Here are a few photos from our adventures earlier this month. Thanks for stopping by!

Rae's painting is really coming along. Great job!!!

Having a good yatter!!! ;-)

Joan getting herself all sorted.

Meeting on Monday Nov 16

Bring your painting supplies and an 8x10 sheet of watercolour paper. We are exploring light....which is generally what painting is all about any way. It is ALL about light!

7:30 pm NUP Room 205

If you have found an interesting website let me know and I will post the link here for people to explore. Come back on a regular basis to find out what we have found out there on the internet!!!!

Painting Saturday in November

Alec, Lynn & Elaine!

See the butterfly that Alec is working on...

Elaine is working on flowers...her first attempt. She is planning a second attempt soon doing it a completely different way!

Brittney Lintick Watercolour Course

We began on Friday afternoon. Brittney is beginning to do the demonstration!

She is cushioning the colours!

We are working on our "quilt" sample!

The results!!!!! ;-) Now this quilter was certainly impressed with using fabric as a subject!

Kevin begins to work on the full sized drawing!

Brittney showing us how to deal with one section at a time.

Though we thought a full sheet was a bit intimidating we all were comfortable enough to just get right to work. Thanks Brittney!

Ha. Here is a picture that isn't my work space without me!

Rae is really having fun and her years at art school make her our fastest painter! Another photo is down below.

Joyce working away.

Joan is wishing she had more time to complete this painting...

Rae B.

Brittney at the Legislative Assembly! Thank you so much for a wonderful workshop Brittney. See you again sometime!
