SUMMARY:AZR- Feb 12\, 2024: STELLA CANFIELD | FOCUS: SHAPES\, FORMS and VARIETY
DESCRIPTION:START TIME: 1:00 (Pacific). Virtual doors open 12:45. \nCLICK: CANFIELD WORKSHEET AND READING FOR CRITIQUED PAINTINGS \nPAINTINGS FOR CRITIQUE (members only)\nDUE DATE: Jan 31\, 2023 \nSEND PAINTINGS FOR CRITIQUE TO:  azr@nwws.org \nWelcome\, Stella Canfield\, to February’s AZR event! \nStella Canfield knows why she paints. For her\, it is because she cannot not paint the eloquent expressions of what she feels about everything around her: nature\, people\, activities and the world. \nShe sees art as a great c communicator. Her greatest pleasure is when someone responds emotionally to her work\, comes close to it\, finds more and more exciting details\, and happily decides they must have it. \nHow she achieves a painting that conveys such attraction to the viewer is multi-faceted\, but shape\, form\, and variety are key elements for success\, and the February AZR event will emphasize the importance of them as she reviews the submitted paintings. \nStella has written the following for those who would like to have their work critiqued.

SUMMARY:Samish Island PaintOut
DESCRIPTION:Artists working in all mediums love Paint-Out: collage artists\, watercolorists\, oil & acrylic painters\, knitters\, and other media artists. Some artists work on small pieces\, but there is space for those working very large. There is a large bulletin board where artists pin their finished work for all to see\, and artists enjoy being the first one up. \nThe camp’s accommodations are brightly painted quaint heated rustic cabins with a bathroom nearby. For a few more dollars\, there are cabins with a shared bathroom facility\, and accommodations for these are on a first-come-first-served basis with preference given to those who are willing to share. \nCOSTS: Camp cost is very reasonable no matter which accommodation type you choose. For example\, the most popular choice is the “Full 4-day Camp\, Standard Cabin”\, which costs (Sept. 2024) $410.00\, including meals. There are also options to attend camp for fewer days or to attend camp and find accommodations elsewhere. While planning\, note the Cancellation Policy on the registration form. \nWHAT TO BRING: Here is a starter list to assist you in planning: CLICK: WHAT TO BRING LIST

SUMMARY:FEB 2024 GENERAL MEETING DEMONSTRATION WITH KEIKO TANABE
DESCRIPTION:FEBRUARY 27\, 2024 – We are excited to bring the energy and enthusiasm of Keiko Tanabe to NWWS! \nMEETING START TIME: 7:00 (Pacific time) \nKeiko Tanabe\, AWS\, NWS\, AIS\, LPAPA\nWhat a thrill to welcome Keiko Tanabe as our demo artist in February! \nJapanese born\, her family was an art loving family and it was natural that she became a young\, award winning artist. Education and her professional positions in international relations included extensive travel in Europe\, Asia\, and North America\, and her work reflects her love of travel and cultures around the world. \nAs with many artists\, the desire to be an artist grows until it demands notice. An introductory drawing and watercolor class gave her confidence enough to illustrate a book written by her father\, a renowned scholar of French literature. Thus began her intense study of watercolor\, moving steadily toward the master she is today. \nKeiko exhibits worldwide and her stunning paintings are in both private and corporate collections. Her art is often included in leading art magazines\, and has been enjoyed in nine self-published books and four instructional DVDs. She travels as an outstanding workshop instructor\, demo artist\, and juror for many prestigious exhibitions. Keiko is on the advisory board of American Watercolor Weekly magazine and is a faculty member for the Plein Air Convention & Expo. Keiko resides in San Diego\, CA. \nYou won’t want to miss watching one of the finest watercolor painters of our time. Please join us!
