The Painting group at the Kamloops Arts and Crafts Club meets every Tuesday
and Wednesday where they share ideas, techniques information and a love of
painting. The group size varies from week to week. They often
offer drop in workshops to the public. Recently Sharyn Olfert
demonstrated a workshop on "Mingling Colors". Other workshops are
planned for the new year.
Check back monthly for updates
on new workshops offered.
Many of
the painters start off a project by penciling a drawing, then finishing with
acrylic watercolors and some members are fond of oil painting. The Heritage
House Lower Lounge offers beautiful inspirational views of the river
and trees at Riverside Park.
The
Painters meet each Tuesday from 9:30am - 11:30am
........................and Wednesdays from 1pm to 4 pm in the lower lounge
of Heritage House.
On Tuesdays
the painters work on various ways of improving their art as well as learning
new techniques.
On
Wednesdays each member works on one of their own current projects.
Becoming
a member of the Kamloops Arts and Crafts Club has opened up many doors for
many of the members. If you have a problem there is always somewhere
to go and you will find seasoned Artists that are willing to share their
knowledge and expertise. As well, the club offers a place to go just
to sit back, enjoy a cup of coffee and talk about art. The group
offers the artist other types of arts and crafts as well. The
opportunity is always available for members to learn pottery, knitting,
weaving and many other arts and crafts.
We have
members who have attended outside workshops and brought back to the club
their new experience and knowledge.
The Painters enjoy taking part in the two annual KACC Tea and Sale Events
where they can display and sell their artwork.
