Fall/Winter Program
Have you noticed several changes to our sessions at the Windsor Park Pavillion?
Nirmala Greenwell and her team have added the following to the sessions:
SPOT LIGHTS: spotlights are placed, as needed, eg for Still Life & Model sessions.
ROUND ROBIN: members showing their work which they produced during the
present session.
TEN MINUTE TIP: one of our members explaining, in an informal way, a certain aspect of their expertise in art.
(see pictures below)
Of course, we still have Show and Share at the end of the session, where members have the opportunity to invite feedback on their work.
And, Refreshments by Joan, are a very welcome time to relax,
enjoy the goodies and socialize.
