We will have time for interaction and questions following the demo.

HopPamela Levac has organized another zoom meeting from 1-3 pm on May 7th for anyone who would like to paint along from home. This is a time to hang out and paint together (no instruction or guidance offered). This time please bring a subject of your own choosing. You could work from a a bunch of flowers, a still life, photographs, it's up to you. We can paint from 1-2:30, and then from 2:30-3 we can share our paintings by holding them up to the computer camera, and talk about what colours we chose, or why we chose that scene.

Most of the time, we’ll just be painting, but it’s fun to have other people painting with us! If we can aim our cameras at our painting set-up, we can occasionally check in on what other people are doing.
If you’d like to join us, just click on the Zoom link at 1 pm on May 7th :

Hope to see you there!
