Monthly Meeting Reminder Tues 8th March - Leanne Jones Demo in Watercolours

Next monthly meeting on Tuesday 8th March, at 7.30pm in the Stan Stevens Studio, Deerubbin Centre, 300 George St, Windsor. 

Our second demonstration for the year is our well known Leanne Jones - Watercolourist.  Leanne is a mainly self taught artist and is popular with subjects including landscapes, waterscapes, urban, buildings and figures. Leanne's style has taken many years to evolve addressing qualities of transparency,  marked by a strong use of colour described as representational / impressionistic. This is sure to be a very enjoyable evening!

Everyone is welcome to the meeting - $3 for members & $5 for non-members which includes supper & a chance to talk to the demonstrating artist, network with other art minded folk and catching up with Art News from around the district.  Contact Narelle for more info on 02 4565 9222 .

Hope to see you there!
