January Meeting

NEXT MEETING: Monday, Jan 17, 7:30pm Room 205 @ NUP

It's a busy month for us! See below for a new watercolour demo that Shawna is starting on Monday (print the images below if you like), and Lynn will be continuing his landscape demo

WORKSHOP: JIM DAVIES 
Also, this coming weekend (Jan 22-23) is our workshop with Jim Davies. Click here for a list of what to bring to the class. There is still room for more people to join, so spread the word!


   

Shawna's Demo: Still Life with Pears

In November Shawna began the demo for a still life set up.  One person brought pears, another brought scrabble letters and then we had two different pieces of fabric for the background.  We then went out for a lesson on how to use the photo printing machine where we printed off the images.

If you missed that meeting, do not despair! We have images for people to use and we begin painting at the January meeting. 
Supplies:

  • 8x10 inch piece of watercolour paper
  •  
  • Watercolour paints - 
  • Yellow Green (like Sap Green)
  • Yellows (like New Gamboge & Yellow Ocher)
  • Range of blues & purples
  • Reds - cool and warm
  • Burnt Sienna
  • Black
  • Brushes - wide range of sizes
  • Masking fluid - a brush that you can use for its application (white synthetic round works well)
  • Hair blower and an Extension cord (important)
  • water container, paper towel, q-tips (just a few), of course your painting palette
Now if you are new to watercolour, please come and Shawna will have extra supplies for you to work with.  Bring what you can and come to explore!

Painting Saturday for January

Here is where I am suppose to put images from the last painting saturday...I would do that if my old computer hadn't eaten the photos and gave me the blue screen of death.  Sigh.

So Saturday from 11 am to 4 pm in Room 205 Lynn and Rae will be hosting Painting Saturday.  Go and join them.  It is a great way to get some work done and spend time with fun people!
