DEMONSTRATIONS
Our bi-monthly Zoom Demonstrations give you the opportunity to build your creative tool chest in the comfort of your home!
Demonstrations are conducted online and are FREE for APS members.
Guest artists demonstrate on the 2nd Saturday of odd-numbered months following the member meeting.
The Demonstration is proceeded by our online Member Meeting at 10am which includes an introduction about the guest artist.
Members automatically receive an email invite to the Member Meeting and Demonstration on Zoom.
The guest artist will create one or two pastel paintings during their hour-and-a-half Demonstration.
A video camera is positioned 1 to 2 feet away from the guest artist’s painting - allowing you to see their developing image in great detail.
A broad range of creative subjects are covered during our programs: Art Theory, Creative Influences, Materials, Pastels, and an amazing array of challenges faced by pastel painters!
During the Demonstration you have opportunities to ask questions.
Demonstrations end at 12:00. In the afternoon the guest artist holds a paint-a-long workshop!
