Sit N Paint
Gallery is normally closed
on Monday and Tuesday,
Sit N Paint manager
Cathy Alvarez-Smith
& or Drew Bandish
will host and provide access
to the Gallery Education Room.
FREE Sit N Paint
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 program evolves.
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.
