We would like to thank Christine Ramos for her demonstration of the acrylics. It was informative for the new artists.
Feb 13th's meeting of the Glendale Art Association will welcome international artist Egan Rice who will share his artistic and exhibition experience along with explaining his artistic processes including a drawing a day project (which started out of an art therapy regimen) while never running low on ideas and keeping motivated with art challenges.
See the image below. Reminder: It is in the Glendale Central Library, Maker Room, Feb. 13th, at 6:30pm to 8:30pm.
With the support of the local art supply store Carter Sexton, The Stabilo Company and Legion Paper, guests will get an opportunity to play with some of the crayons and other drawing implements Egan regularly uses in his art making. Don't forget to bring your art for our mini show.
