6:00 Social Gathering

6:30 Meeting - Planning for our Art Faire and more!

7:00  Demonstration by Artist Ellen Negley

Originally from Peoria, Illinois, Ellen Negley now makes her home in Lake Worth Beach.

As a watercolorist, Ellen reflects her surroundings in her artwork.  Her paintings bring to life the color, light, people and urban settings of south Florida and the global places she has visited.  

Ellen also has a love of drawing, which she feels goes hand-in-hand with painting.  She creates sketches on location for her paintings and participates in local sketch groups. This latter activity allows Ellen to connect with fellow artists and exchange ideas.

Ellen’s art has been featured in many fine art show posters, marketing materials, magazines and apparel.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2023

Due to extenuating circumstances, the Art League quickly pivoted and held our meeting outdoors and without a demonstration.  It was a lovely evening, and much work was accomplished towards planning for our upcoming Art Faire 2023 on Saturday, March 18, 2023.

SIGN UP SHEETS to help on committees (ie, Raffle, Artists' Reception, Parking, Set Up, Hanging, and more) as well as INSTRUCTION SHEETS on how to enter your art work and how to prepare your art for hanging are available on the desk in the Studio by the front door.

Our demonstration by Patricia Lappin will be resheduled for another time.

What is Urban Sketching?  (Domestika.org)

"In short, it is the practice of drawing what is around you, for instance, in your sketchbook. It does not necessarily imply that you draw cities, but rather it consists of capturing your personal vision of your immediate world, and the places you travel to. It is a narrative of everyday life: that cup of coffee that you drink in the morning, the streets that you walk by during the day, the cars that you observed, the clothes that you wore, and so on."
