The SAA joint meeting with the Washington Watercolor Society was called to order at 2:20pm at Davis Library.
Florence Gang announced a decision by the Board of Directors to donate $500 to Montgomery College. She also announced SAA has applied to Black Rock and Friendship Heights for exhibits in 2011.
David began by speaking about "why" he paints...
Because of his science background, he is a curious individual and wants to try something new with each painting. He feels if an artist experiments instead of painting in the same way each time, he will experience growth as an artist. He encouraged each of us to approach each painting as a challenge to try something different.
He always paints on large (4' x 6') paper which is glued to alumilite?, unmatted and varnished. but he reminded us that this type of presentation is usually not accepted in watercolor shows. He recently began using squirrel hair brushes, uses many different brands of paint, and freely uses frisket to preserve white of paper.
Before starting to paint, he does background studies...value, composition, design and color, which gives him freedom to just paint since all the decisions are already made. He also spoke about the importance of shape, value, color temperature, dominance and variety.
After demonstrating his painting technique (lots of water and letting colors flow into one another), he presented one of his large, finished paintings.
