Mountains and Rivers Annual General Meeting

Our AGM will be on Saturday the 8th July 2017 at 12 noon.

Our Guest Artist will be Kate Belton, Kate will be teaching us how to paint a lovely Peacock.

Cost; $15 for the workshop, ($5 to Kate if you use her inks)


This peacock is painted using Matisse Derivan Inks, if you have these please bring them along as we supply our own paint now. If you do not have these inks, you may use Kate's, but perhaps pay her $5 per person for using them.

Kate has given us two sizes; 50cm x 76cm (20 x 30") or 30cm x 60cm (12 x 24") or any size you want in between these sizes. Kate will supply a pattern on the day.

You will also need to bring; Any Matisse inks you have, black transfer paper, a water colour pallet or one that has small recesses to hold ink, a pencil, a pen with a nib(like the old school pens), a water spray bottle, some rags and paper towel, all your usual painting requirements and brushes.
The M and R shop will be open on the day.

Prep;
Coat your board or canvas with a generous coat of white Gesso in a random fashion using a pallet knife. The surface should be uneven so the ink can run and make streaks of colour in the background. Make sure this is dry well before class.
