October 2010 Painting Saturday!

Lynn and I used this time to prep for the next meeting. Here is a peak of what we are doing...


My still life was inspired by a trip to the Co-op!

Lynn is painting his demonstration of boats in water...still a landscape! This is perfect for beginners and all others who want to join him.

See you on October 18!

September 2010 Meeting

We spent the evening watching a video. We were spiraling back to a more advanced colour wheel than we have explored before.

Rae our fearless leader...who took a long time to set up for this photo! I bet you thought no one would see it. ;-)
