Meeting 8th Feburary

Our first meeting of the year 2014 will be on the 8th February with our guest teacher Janette Newman. We will be painting a lovely delicate piece called 'Church Window'. Janette won the first prize with this piece at the Gulgong show. I am looking forward to painting this, it involves salt, and then painted in the negative. 

Church window



Please bring with you your usual painting supplies, brushes, graphite/saral paper, masking tape and a piece of cardboard to tape the watercolour paper to, this will keep it straight.
The watercolour paper will be 14" x 10" (35cm x 25cm).
So your board will need to be slightly larger than this so you can tape the paper down.

Please book in as soon as possible, Janette has to provide and cut the watercolour paper to size, as I have to contact Janette no later than the 1st February! Thanks Lyn.
