News briefs for members

Thank you for your art supply donations!

Our April Earth Day art supply “garage sale” was a great success – thanks to all who donated un-needed art supples – we made a tidy little sum. And, in combination with the Earth Day Festival held that day on the lawn in front of the gallery, we had great foot-traffic and increased NVAL gallery sales.  Look for NVAL to put on another art supply garage sale next April during Earth Day celebrations.

ABSTRACT OILS 2-DAY WORKSHOP WITH ANNE LEVEQUE:
“THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION”

$250 per student ($285 for non-members of NVAL)

Sign ups are currently available in the gallery. Online sign ups are open now.

This workshop will focus on questions you may have about both technical and aesthetic aspects of painting layered abstracts. After an initial question and answer discussion, participants will follow an interactive demonstration designed to deepen understanding through shared exploration. Anne will address your specific problems, either technical or aesthetic. Discussion will also address how to know when a painting is “finished.”
