newspaper about WAA, please save it and bring it to
the next General Meeting.
Critique for September

September. Be sure and bring your art for discussion.
This is always a very enlightening session!

August Demonstration
Beth Pritchard gave us a fabulous demonstration in
pastels. Her art is truly inspiring. She takes great pain
to achieve a very realistic piece. Most of her pieces are
flowers that seem to bloom right before your eyes.
She uses Kitty Wallace paper, which has a sandpaper-like
quality. Once the pastel has been applied, she uses a brush
to retrieve the “tooth.” Beth frames all of her work without
spraying the finished drawing.
