Our next art demonstration will be presented by artist Carlie Vought on Monday, May 19, 2025, at 1:20 PM, following the Board/General meeting scheduled from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM. The demonstration will focus on using alcohol markers and colored pencils. It’s a game-changer! Instead of spending grueling hours with colored pencils, the alcohol markers provide a beautiful base of colors before blending. This technique reduces your pencil usage by half and offers a wonderfully new experience with color theory.
Schedule for May 19th: 11:00 am to 1:00 pm: Board meeting - all are welcome & encouraged to attend 1:00 to 1:20 pm: General membership meeting 1:20pm: Artist demonstration | |||
