DVAC Friday Night Meetings - Tom Campbell - What is Art?
 
The presentation will start with a brief summary of my views on the question “What is Art?” before looking at the painting and sculpture of my own practice through the years. What has changed and why? What has remained constant?
Followed by examples of techniques of the painting craft that have been useful to me,  and a demonstration followed by a Q&A.

DVAC Friday Night Meetings - Angela Fehr - Abstract Watercolour

Angela will be sharing a look at her "paint and iterate" process of developing a landscape painting from realism to abstraction. Angela believes that the first version of a painting usually shows you what you don't know yet. By painting many variations on the scene, she has the opportunity to edit and experiment to get to the heart of the subject while also revealing the heart of the artist in the painting. A slideshow of how her paintings develop will be followed by a demonstration of Angela's intuitive painting process.
 
From her home in northern British Columbia, Canada, through her video lessons on her website and YouTube, Angela Fehr has created a community of watercolour lovers that spans the globe. She wants every painter to know the freedom of fearless self-expression. 
 
She has made it her mission to share this empowering message through lessons in watercolour technique and loose intuitive painting. More than anything she demonstrates that the most important thing you bring to your art is you.
