Sit n Paint
Location: San Diego Watercolor Society's Education Room
Date: 01/12/2024 09:15 AM - 12:15 PM
Sit n Paint FREE
San Diego Watercolor Society Education Room
OPEN to all active SDWS members
and adult member-hosted guests
with Staffer-Trained SDWS member artists in the mix.
These FREE sessions must be flexible as to days and hours
and participants must willingly yield to scheduled SDWS events & sudden conflicts.
Check the Calendar for adjustments as this new program evolves.
Let's use the available Education Room to
Sit & Paint together -
as a productive, social use of the space.
Camaraderie among like-minded creative folks is a club goal!
No lesson plan, just bring your art supplies, set up and paint.
Finish your plein air efforts, create greeting cards, get a painting ready for exhibition,
work on a series, practice techniques, revive sorrowful paintings.
Discussions inevitably turn to art design and composition and options, art shows and events.
No politics / religion / sales pitches
Focus on painting.
Ear buds are a good item, if you prefer music or words plus a bit of isolation within a group.
Few people enjoy the same music at the same time.
Materials
Bring your own kit
Water - Color - Paper/substrate - Brush
There is ramp access to our building 200;
on the southeast side (beside the Quilt Museum)
We have 6' tables and folding chairs.
If you prefer to stand, consider your options.
Let's reduce our footprint within the gallery by bringing a table cover and our own paper towels.
SDWS is for watercolor and mixed water media painters (NO oil paints or oily additives, please).
Over time, full bodied Acrylics can clog a sink, so plan to clean thick paints from brushes and palettes
onto disposable paper towels/rags before rinsing with soap and water
to minimize the flow of paint down the drain.
Many of us need the commitment on a calendar or to other people - to show up and paint.
Otherwise, life presents other things to do.
Let's paint together, now and then.

How to Sell Art on the Internet - Terry Hastings

Second Saturday Paintout & Demo by Sarah Sullivan
Location: Santee Lakes 9310 Fanita Parkway Santee, CA 92071
Date: 01/13/2024 09:00 AM - 01:00 PM
Map
Santee Lakes, 9310 Fanita Pkwy, Santee, CA 92071
$7 car entrance or FREE walk in
from pedestrian side gates along Fanita Parkway
The art demo starts promptly at 9am with a review at 12:30pm. Join us!
Sarah Sullivan will be this month's demo artist. Sarah's artistic preference is for black watercolor paper and Gouache paint. Sarah has won countless awards for her unique and beautiful paintings. During the demo, Sarah will show us her process to accomplish the connections between people and the location. Her approach works well for all mediums and all skill levels. You don’t need black watercolor paper but if you would like to get some it is Stonehenge Aqua Coldpress 140lb Black Watercolor Paper. A large tube of White Gouache can be mixed with watercolor colors so you have other Gouache based colors. Or just bring your usual paint and paper and go crazy with shape, line, contrast and large shapes!
