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:

Silk Painting Demo

This Wednesday, November 10th, Nancy Goldman will be demonstrating silk painting basics.

Silk painting is an exciting medium that uses a resist to control the movement of silk dyes.  The dyes become a permanent part of the fabric after they are steam set.  Many of the painting techniques are similar to those used with watercolor.  Some of Nancy's silk paintings can be seen at www.nancygoldmanart.com

Please join us on Wednesday at 7:00.  Our meetings are held at 300 South C St.  Tustin, CA
