Artist Helping Artists
AHA's
Southwest Washington Watercolor Society, offers it's Members, their guests & persons interested in Watercolor an opportunity to learn techniques from other Artists. We meet at Clark College on the second Saturday of the month from 1pm to 4pm, (Jan - June, Sep & Oct), in the Frost Art Building, Room 103.
Each month there is an Artist demonstration, after which there is time to "Paint Along" if you want. People attending, bring their own materials. At this time there is no charge.
February 10 - Margaret Webb
Painting Leaves
We will join Margaret in uncovering the secrets of painting leaves. Leaves appear in many of our paintings. There are many colors, adding different element to the technique. Margaret has been intentional in her painting of leaves and will share what she has discovered with us.
March 9 - Critique, Demo & Paint Along
Lee Bauman & Barbara Hope
Twice a year SWWS offers a critique to our members before the Spring & Fall Exhibit.
This critique will be led by Artist, Instructor & Innovator Lee Bauman. He will be accompanied by Barbara Hope, Artist & President of SWWS.
The critique is for all SWWS members, but especially for our new associate members, before the Jurying In later in the month. Emails will be sent out with info for Jurying In.
Please join us by bringing paintings you would like to be critiqued.
After the critique, Lee will give a short demo and if you want you can paint.
I hope you you join us.
