February Meeting

This month Jill did a demonstration showing how to create and paint  bookmarks. Little pieces of art that sit on the corner of the page in a book to mark where you were.

I also brought along ingredients to mix up some acrylic bubble solution for those who wished to try this texture method. We've done this awhile back but it was new to some. I showed the group ways to work with the bubbles while they are still wet.

One of our members, Yvonne Notbohm has been out for a bit so the 13 members that made it on Thursday  painted her a bouquet of flowers to cheer her and it did. She was very happy and thankful for the small flower paintings

Flower Bouquet Paintings

Jill thought the flowers needed a fish and I think it's the perfect touch for this bouquet.

December Meeting

Our group did our annual trading card exchange again this year for Christmas. Here are beautiful results from the members who participated in this fun event:

After the exchange I did a demonstration on how to use coffee filters and fibers for texture in a flower painting. It was a refresher course for some while it was the first attempt for our new members.

Hopefully next month members will bring some finished paintings that I can post.
