SUMMARY:Plein Air 101
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Thursday\, May 15 \, 7:00-8:30pm for Plein Air 101 at the Wellesley Free Library  \n  \nAs the weather warms\, and summer travel plans are in the works\, many people are inspired to get back outside to observe\, sketch and paint. For some\, plein air painting can be challenging without the usual studio conveniences\, but the benefits of painting from life can be quite surprising. Artist Dan Schultz shares some thoughts on how plein air can help your painting practice. So in hopes of inspiring people to venture out to paint from life\, the WSA is having a program on May 15 at 7:00pm at the Wellesley Free Library to help simplify the plein air process. Come learn from fellow members and or share your experiences about the various artist kits for watercolor\, oil\, acrylic and pastel\, and see how to tackle this practice. This evening is also a wonderful opportunity to come meet and chat with WSA members. Join us for light refreshments beginning at 6:45pm.  \nWSA Members: Mai Mai Pietrowski\, Joanna Dole\, Nancy Present Van Broekhoven and Mark Richards will share their experiences and address some of these questions: \n\nHow do you get organized for plein air painting?\nWhat supplies do you put in your “box” and why?\nHow do you set up everything and how do you find a perfect spot?\nWhat is the best time to paint outside for you and why?\nWhat are tips and tricks you have learned?\nWhy do you love it so much?

SUMMARY:WSA/NAA Annual Joint Artist Demo: Water Based Painting in View of Nature: Materials\, Methods and Practice with Nancy Friese
DESCRIPTION:The Wellesley Society of Artists (WSA) and the Needham Art Association (NAA)\, in partnership with the Wellesley Free Library\, is hosting their annual joint artist demonstration on Saturday\, April 5\, 2025 at the Wellesley Free Library\, Wakelin Room with artist Nancy Friese.Please join us for light refreshments at 1:15pm followed by the WSA Gratitude show awards announcement and demo 1:30 – 3:30pm. This program is free and open to the public. \n“Water Based Painting in View of Nature: Materials\, Methods and Practice” \nThe afternoon workshop will be divided into three sections. First we will have an overview of the different basic qualities of watercolor\, gouache and acrylic water media painting and drawing materials with suggestions from the guest artist and input from any experienced participants.  Attendees may create small sampler sheets of each as takeaways. Then a short demonstration about the additive and subtractive methods of building a composition will be shared including working wet over dry\,  broad to detail\, light to dark\, and a whole surface touch.  In closing\, a few of the guest artist’s own finished paintings done from observation will be shown and explained with her tips for working in open-view of nature.  Why is perceptual painting of value\, how is observing the natural world rewarding\, and what ways may water mediums animate an idea will be a focus from our artistic vantage.  Participants may bring one small piece of their own to share as an ending. \nMore about Nancy Friese… \nNancy Friese is a painter-printmaker who works in open-air.
