New Season Begins!

Welcome Back to Watercolour!

Our first meeting of the season is Monday, September 19, 7:30-9:00 Room 205, Northern United Place.
New members are welcome - no experience necessary!

 FIRST MEETING - what's the plan, stan?
  • This Season brings a new approach to our Monthly Meetings, with members signing up to teach a short lesson, do a quick demonstration or show a video clip of watercolours techniques. 
  • We'll begin by looking at a variety of books and supplies to see how we would like to approach this season's classes.
  • Bring along anything you've been working on over the summer for a show and tell
  • Check out our fall weekend workshop on Nov 4 with Lillian Loponen. Reserve your space asap (only 12 spots available, $120!)
  • Membership sign up/renewal (only $20 for the year!)
  • If we have time, we'll start by splashing some paint around on some small postcards, just to get back in to the swing of things! If you don't have supplies, come anyway, we have some paints to share.

November Workshop Intro
Starting off this season is the opportunity to sign up for a workshop by Lillian Loponen, a fabulous watercolour artist from Whitehorse.

Her landscapes are rich with the light of northern skies, which she achieves through careful planning and the use of layering and resists.This workshop will concentrate on basic skills, but with lots of hints and short demonstrations to guide you quickly in the right direction. You'll be given the freedom to go in your own direction with your new skills, or work with the instructor's assistance to create your watercolour masterpiece!

Artist Talk: Friday, Nov 4, 7:30-8:30
Day 1: Saturday Nov 5, 10:00am - 4:00pm
Day 2: Sunday Nov 6, 10:00am-4:00pm
