February Meeting

We had some Show and Tell as well. Sarah likes blue...she is branching out into other colours too! Shawna finished another flower painting.



We had a great meeting learning how to enlarge images in preparation for painting. We were low in numbers but great in spirit. Hope to see more of you next month when we will be working with paint, labeling tubes so that we know what is staining, transparent, opaque and we will be mixing colours just to play!!!

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.
