This free demo is sponsored by the Peninsula Art League. Kathleen Kemly is featured artist from Seattle. Using Collage as a Dynamic Element in a Painting Tuesday, May 26 - Gig Harbor Methodist Church, 7400 Pioneer Way, Gig Harbor Refreshments and Get Acquainted 5:30 Meeting 6:00 Free Demo 7:00 - 8:00 Tamarindo - Collage & Acrylic on Canvas http://kathleenkemly.com/ Kemly will demonstrate how to incorporate collage and drawing into an acrylic painting. "Collage helps me to find the big shapes in my painting. Finding the structure allows me to stay loose and painterly," she said. >From a distance, the collage elements may not be obvious; up close, however, the intricate patterns and textures shimmer. Smaller pieces are placed throughout - among the shadows, in the faces, around the border. Kemly said that her paintings sometimes take months to complete. She will show works IN PROGRESS and examples of finished work. The meetings are always FREE! You do not have to be a member to attend. Who should attend? Art-lovers, dabblers, beginners, middle of the road-ers, professionals, someone who loves our refreshments and those who want to "talk art" with others who don't yawn!
