October Meeting

Our next meeting will be on Wednesday, October 8th at 7 PM in the TUSD board room.  Marlene Gerloff will be demonstrating her watercolor techniques. 

Marlene is originally from Boston and has a BFA from Massachusetts College of Art. She worked as a graphic designer and art director for 35 years.  Her award winning watercolor paintings have been shown in galleries from Laguna Beach to Paris.  She currently teaches watercolor in Irvine, Laguna and Mission Viejo, where she is also chairperson of the city's Cultural Arts Committee.  Marlene was TAL's very first demonstrator years ago.  We are happy she is returning!

This Wednesday, June 11th, there will be a model and everyone will have the opportunity to practice their figure drawing/painting.  The meeting will start at 7:00.  Bring whatever art supplies you like to use but please, no oils.

May Meeting

On May 14th at 7:00, Nancy Goldman will be demonstrating silk painting.  She will have a variety of examples to show and will demonstrate the different techniques used in silk painting.

Nancy has been painting for a couple of decades but has had a lifelong interest in art.  She works in almost every medium with watercolor being her favorite.  She began silk painting several years ago and has really enjoyed the beauty of the bright colors on the silk fabrics and the graphic look that can be achieved with the resist lines.

Here is an example of her work:

Please join us at 300 S. C Street, Tustin to see this demonstration.
