October Meeting

Meeting: Monday October 17Room 205, 7:30-9:00pm, Northern United Place

Know Your Papers!*
Lesson by Shawna and  Rae

If you're like me, you buy the cheapest watercolour paper on the shelf... Which can be good for playing around, but it lacks the gusto of quality watercolour paper, which allows for greater control, brighter colours and intensity of pigments. Lucky for us, Shawna buys the good stuff.

Shawna will be bringing a number of different samples of watercolour paper for us to experiment with, and Rae will lead you in playing with some cool techniques to achieve texture and layers of colour. See how your paint reacts differently on each paper.

* Please bring $5 to cover the cost of a number of different samples of paper :)
