October 2010 Painting Saturday!

Lynn and I used this time to prep for the next meeting. Here is a peak of what we are doing...

My still life was inspired by a trip to the Co-op!

Lynn is painting his demonstration of boats in water...still a landscape! This is perfect for beginners and all others who want to join him.

See you on October 18!

September 2010 Meeting

We spent the evening watching a video. We were spiraling back to a more advanced colour wheel than we have explored before.

Rae our fearless leader...who took a long time to set up for this photo! I bet you thought no one would see it. ;-)

Sarah working on the Quiller colour wheel

New members Noushin and Prem working!

Joyce had a visitor Elizabeth from Sweden! Thanks for joining us Elizabeth.

September Newsletter and Meeting

We meet on Sept 20th at 7pm to do registration for membership.

We have a new look for our newsletter! I hope everyone enjoys it.

Have any questions call any of the executive members noted on the above newsletter.

See you all on Monday!

YWS Art Show May 2010

This May we held our third annual Art Show. It was a quieter show due to the amazing 25C weather outside. Yellowknifer's know what to do in that type of weather and none of it included being inside! ;-)

We had 8 members participate. Thanks to Lynn, Astrid, Rae, Kevin, Shawna, Sarah, Joyce, Joan for putting your work on display.

Thanks to Astrid for the wonderful poster, for Lynn, Rae, Kevin, Joyce and Shawna for working at the show. Thanks to Joyce and Sarah for sewing up our new black tablecloths.

Painting Saturday in November

Alec, Lynn & Elaine!

See the butterfly that Alec is working on...

Elaine is working on flowers...her first attempt. She is planning a second attempt soon doing it a completely different way!

Brittney Lintick Watercolour Course

We began on Friday afternoon. Brittney is beginning to do the demonstration!

She is cushioning the colours!

We are working on our "quilt" sample!

The results!!!!! ;-) Now this quilter was certainly impressed with using fabric as a subject!

Kevin begins to work on the full sized drawing!

Brittney showing us how to deal with one section at a time.

Though we thought a full sheet was a bit intimidating we all were comfortable enough to just get right to work. Thanks Brittney!

Ha. Here is a picture that isn't my work space without me!

Rae is really having fun and her years at art school make her our fastest painter! Another photo is down below.

Joyce working away.

Joan is wishing she had more time to complete this painting...

Rae B.

Brittney at the Legislative Assembly! Thank you so much for a wonderful workshop Brittney. See you again sometime!
