October Artist of the Month
Congratulations to Christina Rosepapa, the winner of October’s Artist of the Month.
Her art piece “Ladies of the Night” is created with Colored Pencils. It is 20”x 18”.
The winning art is based on a photo Christina took of the night blooming Cereus cactus in her garden.
October Presenter Elaine Dube
GVAL enjoyed an informative presentation at our October meeting by talented watercolor artist, Elaine Dube! She shared her techniques for creating a watercolor art piece with textures and contrast. She’s fined tuned her colors over the years and mostly paints with only 3 colors. The group enjoyed her artwork and learning her approach to creating a dynamic painting.
Get to know our GVAL Members! Many of our members are professional artists.
