ANOTHER PAIR OF EYES
SECOND SATURDAY OF MONTH, 9 - 11AM BY RESERVATION ONLY
The ANOTHER PAIR OF EYE’S sessions are offered on the second Saturday of the month, 9 - 11AM in SAWG’s Robert & Helen Jennette Gallery. This is a wonderful opportunity for new or intermediate SAWG members who are wondering “What’s wrong with my painting” or “I’d like to enter this in a juried show, so what would make my painting ‘Pop’?" We will be looking at value, contrast, shapes, center of interest and more. Get these answers and suggestions from SAWG Signature and/or Saguaro Fellow artists in a positive, encouraging, and supportive environment. Take the risk! Be as brave as you are each time you put the first brushstroke of paint on your paper.
Participants should bring one or two UNFRAMED paintings for the critique. They may remain anonymous if preferred. If not they are encouraged to ask questions about their work. No actual painting will be done.
This class is led by two different SAWG members and is limited to 10 participants. Don’t just show up because nobody will be there unless you reserve a space by contacting Bob and Helen Jennette, jennette.05@comcast.net.
A voluntary $5 donation to SAWG is encouraged.
