Missing pieces for this year's collaborative

We still have 2 missing pieces from this year's collaborative. Please turn them in to Lynda at Homer Art and Frame as soon as possible. We need time to have the pieces scanned (for making prints) and put together for framing. The Fireweed Gallery will also need an image for advertising our upcoming Spring Show.

Please Join us on Facebook !

I started a Kachemak Bay Watercolor Society Group on Facebook.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/459249684198807/ 

I chose "Kachemak Dawn" a 16" x 20" Watercolor by Donna Stafford Martin as our cover photo.

You are welcome to join us and post your latest artwork or ideas there.

I've only added or invited a few members that I am sure of. If you are friends with anyone on facebook who is a member of our Kachemak Bay Watercolor Society, PLEASE feel free to add them.

If you would like to help administer this page, just let me know.

Thanks, 
Colleen

Monthly Paint-In Saturday March 4th

This coming Saturday is our monthly paint-in. 

First a reminder to all the people who took a piece for the new collaborative. We agreed to get those back at this March gathering so if you (like me) are not done (or started) put it on your calendar and set time to complete it.  Remember to make the initials subtle so they don't distract from the overall piece. Put your full name on the back in pencil.  

Our paint in will include a time for tips and requests for information and questions.

Then we will dedicate the rest of the time to painting much like what we did last month which was very successful (we will avoid Lilies this time due to allergies :).

Snacks (healthy or not) are always welcomed.

Thar's gonna be a hangin' in Homer high noon this Thursday February 9

Yep, all yea current members of KBWS listen up. Word has it the hanging crew will be hanging art work at the Fireweed on Thursday Feb. 9 . Please bring your work in before noon. Fireweed is still closed, but people will be working there starting on Wednesday so you can bring your work in. Be sure to enter your pieces in the watercolor book and leave labels for your works.  Fireweed will open Saturday in time for the Winter Carnival and also in time for Valentine's Day.

A big thank you to Nina and crew for making the corner look so nice. 

Happy painting!!!!!  Yeeeee Hawww!!!!

February Paint-together

Our February Paint-together will be all about flowers - a great solution to winter blues and getting in the mood for Valentine celebrations.  We will set up a floral arrangement that you can paint - whole or part.    If you want, we can also watch Eric Wiegardt's video "Flowers Free & Easy" or, if I can find it, Janet Rogers video on floral painting.

If you have a painting you would like critiqued or want input regarding any aspect of the painting, please bring it and we will share our thoughts.  We also welcome "tips & techniques," if you have any to share, we want to hear them.

We still have three pieces of our collaborative available to paint.  If you haven't taken a piece to paint yet, please come by and get one at Homer Art.  We need to have all the sections completed before the end of March to allow for photography and framing before our May show.

Snacks are always welcome.  A warm full tummy helps us create beautiful things!

Paint-Together is FREE for members, $10 for Guests.
See you at our Paint-together.

The next collaborative

We passed out some segments of the next collaborative at the January gathering but there are still sections left. You can contact Lynda at Homer Art and Frame to get a piece.

Be sure your name is on the back when you turn it in. Subtle initials on the front work best so they are not distracting to the entire piece. 

Thank YOU Nina. For this beautiful digital image.
