Drawing Thursdays

Hi all
We are starting a series of drawing evenings this Thursday. So come out and join us.

Supplies to bring: paper, pencils or pens, small items to set up in a still life and a portable lamp to light your set-up. Some ideas: feathers, teddy bears, cups, tea cups, doily, and so on. I am planning to bring a few items, small boxes for elevating the set ups and fabric to cover the boxes over as well.

7 pm Thursday at NUP room 214.

See some of you then.

First Annual Yellowknife Watercolour Show

Hi all

It has been a while since i have posted. Time gets away sometimes.

We had about 45 people come to see our show. That was pretty good for the first one. The show was AMAZING!!!! Thank you to all who came out and brought your pieces to display. The room looked totally fabulous. I stayed the whole day and it was a lot of fun.

Find below a few of the paintings that we had at the show:
