November Meeting Nov 21

Rae is off on her adventure and I am doing the blog until her return.

So we are meeting Monday Nov 21 at 7:30 pm in Room 205 at Northern United Place.  Bring some painting supplies.

Here is the note from Jessica:

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to remind everyone about tomorrow's art lesson. I will be teaching about basic drawing (using watercolor of course!). This drawing session will include tonal studies - we will be composing very basic pictures and each of these pictures will have an overall tone, or an overall tone with highlights. You will have to come to our  very light to very dark. Please be sure to bring black or blue watercolour paint and some watercolour paper - no preference on the size.

Anyway I hope you all enjoy my little snippet


Come and Join us!
