Fiona Ross - Works on Yupo
Fiona will be doing a demo in water media on Yupo. Fiona will discuss what Yupo is made of, and will show images of how artists use it. Her paintings and drawings take advantage of the translucent quality of the paper to create abstract forms and figures in black and white and brilliant colors that feature the interplay of deliberate markings with evaporation lines. Through her work she aims to create a feeling of stillness, awareness, weight and space. Her work has been in national and international exhibitions and is in many corporate collections. She will do a demo of how she works droplets of acrylic ink and water to create the dislocation of a more complete pattern series of paintings. |

Annual Meeting & Members' Artist Challenge: Whimsey, Fun, & Funk!
Doug Mock will be critiquing our challenge, Whimsey, Funk & Fun. Have some fun with your art, and with your viewers. Almost anything goes! Let your mind wander and your fingers fly. Tease the Senses. Laugh a lot! Make someone else laugh! Communicate joy! Turn inside out, & outside in! Try satire; invent the impossible. But, you don’t have to be whimsical, funky & fun all at the same time. One or a bit of some will do. |
