A Few Words from Jean

Sketching - let's start

6/1/2020

OK, it's starting! 

Home Game: 
I have my studio back and reorganized. The frames and canvases are sorted into a better location and  my paints and tools are ready to use. There were even some great hidden finds - a dozen black 8x10 frames for a long forgotten project, ready-to-use Ampersand boards for oil and even for watercolour. These will give me a head start as they need no prep days.  I stocked up on full sheets of watercolour paper in case I need a little practice painting large before committing to big oil paintings.
 
Away game: 
  • First workshop program is ready to go: "Ready, Sketch, Paint" is approved by the NVCAC and the advertising up and running. Now we just need some people to want to do it... I am hoping for 10-12. 
  • Second workshop is simmering - a beginners watercolour program using the "Watercolour in 10 Steps" textbook that worked so well in the past. Unfortunately, it is now out-of-print so it will be a challenge to find enough copies, but Amazon.ca seems to be working on it.

    Valley Visual Artists

    Merritt once had a local art group called "Valley Visual Artists." They painted together  regularly, organized annual art shows and hosted art workshops. It faded away, but never really disappeared. Maybe the VVA will rise again...
