On March 19, artist David Repyak shared his process of painting a watercolor. He showed us his materials and shared his philosophy of painting. He painted a watercolor showing us how he layers his washes from light to dark and from back to front, and how he evaluates and adjusts as he paints.
We’ve been challenged to paint or draw a Thanksgiving, Christmas or Winter artwork and bring it to this meeting. Your artwork may be any media and any subject related to the challenge.
Be prepared to Show and Tell your challenge artwork at the Pal meeting and explain your process. Our masterpieces will then be placed on a table for all to admire. This lesson is for Holiday fun!
Something to think about – you have an opportunity to exhibit your masterpiece in the new Treehouse Café Show ‘Luminous Winter’ which runs Dec, Jan and Feb.
For information regarding the Treehouse Show, contact Kay Boyce. This is the final Third Wed event for 2024. Your PAL Third Wed Committee is busy planning educational, interesting and fun events for 2025.
On October 16, Ingrid gave a demo and a tutorial on how to draw with the right side of the brain. The right side of the brain is where our creativity, intuition, and imagination reside. Ingrid gave us several exercises to help us utilize our creative side when drawing.
