Wednesday night was the first meeting of the Lakewood Artist Guild after the summer break. I really enjoyed getting together with artists I had met before the break, plus several new members. The visiting artist was Ernie Marjoram. He is a Los Angeles Professional Artist and teacher. In fact, he is leaving soon vor Vienna and Italy…..is my envy showing? Ernie did a wonderful job talking about how to design a painting (he uses oil, but the info was useful for any media). It was a great demo and lecture and I’m anxious to put to use what I learned. I asked Ernie if I could take his picture during the demo and you will see that below.
Members are incouraged to bring a painting each month to share. I took a small (4″ X 8″) pastel I had done some time ago. You’ll see in the pictures that the majority brought much larger paintings….but sometimes special things come in small packages, right?
