The June PWS meeting is this Sunday, June 24th at 2:30pm at The Charles H. Taylor Arts Center in Hampton.
GOLDEN PAINT representative Amy Shawley will once again grace us with a presentation about Golden Paints, both acrylics and the newer QOR watercolors.
Below is her description of the demonstration:
Golden Paints Watermedia Lecture/Demo:
Discover the range of GOLDEN paints that are fluid in motion: High Flow, Fluid Colors, and QoR Watercolor! We'll begin with traditional watercolor techniques using QoR Watercolor, then move into more contemporary ideas including using GOLDEN Acrylic products for marker and spray applications. Explore an assortment of techniques such as: pouring, staining, granulation, splash, and “white-out” tricks for saving that uncooperative watercolor painting! We will then work with QoR Watercolors in combination with GOLDEN Acrylics to explore the potential when layering the two. Attendees will also learn how to take advantage of GOLDEN and QoR Grounds to create fun, textured surfaces for their work. Finally, we will cover the options of Archival Varnishing of watercolor surfaces for preservation without using glass! The picture is an example of what she will be demonstrating.
If you have questions about these products, Amy is THE expert. The last time she came it was a full house. Hope to see you there.
The PWS Member exhibition is up and now available to see at the Stryker Center, next to the Williamsburg Public Library. It will be on display until August 24th. Two paintings have already been sold!!!
Congratulations to all of the award winners. Local and Nationally recognized artist, Lynn Hosegood was our juror.
She selected a first ($300.00), second ($200.00), and third ($100.00) place winner as well as winners of awards donated by Cheap Joe's and Dick Blick in the form of gift certificates in $50 and $25 dollar increments. A total of $900.00 dollars was awarded. I created a PWS President Award of $25.00 that was given to our youngest artist, this was her first show ever, and one of her paintings sold opening night, also a first for her. A big thanks to Tom Daley for doing all the leg work for the Cheap Joe's and Dick Blick gift cards.
The Stryker Center is only open during the week unless there is another event happening there so you will have to plan accordingly to see the exhibition.

We problably won't have time for show and tell, but feel free to bring something you are working on.
Hope to see you there.
