First Meeting!

For the Monday night workshop Don Getz asks that we make a series of small studies --- no bigger than 9x12 in the drawing media of our choice, then add color with watercolor washes, colored pencils, pastels or the media of our choice. This will be a quick sketchbook course -- like in his new book. We will have some paper and pencils available -- but to get the most of the evening bring paper capable of taking color washes of the media that you usually use.Don will also bring slides. See you there!
