Art Swap at the Library

If you’ve been cleaning out your art supplies to freshen up your painting space......save your stuff!
Friday Jan 31 at our Friday paint together at the Bernal Heights Library, we’ll have an Art Swap.
So save anything you’ve been thinking of getting rid of and swap it for something you can use. 
If you don’t find someone to swap your stuff with, leave it with us and we’ll donate it to the Art Dept     
at City College. 
AND
Mary and I teach a watercolor class to fellow low income seniors in our apartment building. Our students just have basic colors and brushes so at the Bernal Library Art Swap on Friday Jan 31, we would welcome donations of any student or professional watercolors, brushes of any sizes and professional watercolor papers.
Thanks so much, Jesse

Colour In Your Life

I have posted information about this obefore, and because of the fires in Australia, I wanted to remind folks of this great organization. Read about the circumstances that urged Graeme Stevenson to create this library, in the "About" section of their website. Their videos are great tutorials for how to create art, why to create art and how important a community of like minded folks can be to an artist.

Vision
To build a library of the minds of artists; to preserve a digital record of creative spirit, culture and techniques for future generations.
"Colour In Your Life is an Australian owned and produced TV art show. We film artists to tell their story and to share step by step tutorials on how to paint, how to sculpture, how to draw, how to learn different artistic skills."
