We would like to congratulate Ann Karstel, Susan Olmstead, Era Uys, Ilse Roux and Doug Thistlewhite from the Centurion Branch on their artwork being accepted for the New Signatures Exhibition in May at Norscot Manor Gallery.
The committee members decided not to participate in the Mothers Day Exhibition at the Pretoria Botanical Gardens on 8 May. Reason: late communication.
The Paul Botes workshop was very well attended and worth the fee.
ABSTRACT WORKSHOP by INGRID KOLZING
DATE: Saturday 15 May TIME: 13:00 – 16h30
PLACE: VOORTREKKER HALL, Glover ave. Between Lenchen ave and Gerhard str.
COST: R60 for non-members, R50 for members
WHAT TO BRING:
2 stretched sheets of your favourite watercolour paper; watercolour paint; masking tape; magazine on interior decorating; hairdryer; sketch book; pencils and other mediums to make texture marks e.g. charcoal, soft pastels, aquarelle pencils, polystyrene, net, toothbrush, spray bottle for water and anything you can think of.
Ingrid wants us to get the most out of the afternoon and will show us two ways to begin our abstracts. We know Ingrid as a fast worker, so drink your vitamins and be prepared to work! Joke! We can finish our abstracts at home. The idea is to try the two ways of beginning our abstracts. It will be one of those afternoons that we will really feel it was really worth the money we paid. One lesson, two art works can evolve.
People, who work in other mediums, should also be invited to our meetings by you. Share your paint and other goodies with them. Remember, it is ABSTRACTS. When they see how we play and spray (nice rhyme) they may decide to do only abstracts in watercolour and join our society! People often have this funny idea about watercolour and are amazed after one demonstration.
NEXT MEETING: 19 June; 9:30-16:00/16:30 at Auditorium. Portraits: Getting a likeness by Willie Jacobs. R150 for non-members and R 120 for members.
BRING OWN MUG & SIDE PLATE

Cheers, Linda
