Next General Meetings
Saturday, April 7, 2001, Time: 12-2pm
Non-members -- visit us and see for yourself what we can do for each other. Bring a cold pot-luck and samples of your latest work.
Artist Lillian Wu will share her love of Chinese brush painting with
us. She will show us how she adapts the style to silk painting and give us
a chance to give it a try for ourselves. Artists using any medium or
style can benefit from a demonstration of this ancient and beautiful
style. Of all the kinds of painting on silk, Chinese brush painting seems
very appropriate. Both the painting and the silk are free and soft and seem
suited to each other. Lillian is a landscape artist as well as being
proficient in the art of Chinese Brush Painting on rice paper. You may have
attended her recent show at the Arts Council on Belmont. She is delighted
to be able to come and share her talent with us.
BRING… Bring a piece of silk about 12 to 18 in. sq.. We have hoops and
frames for stretching. Also, if you have an OLD sumi brush, bring it.
The chemical water in the dye is not good for natural hair brushes.-
they get fuzzy.
Members may also want to be thinking about what other types of demonstrations you would like to have in the future. Do you want all artists? Or would you like a session on marketing? on making clothing? On framing? Or even on preserving the silks? Or different types of dyes? ....Suggestions would be appreciated. Give them to Edna at the meeting.
Non-member admission is free (unless there is a guest speaker).
