The Do This In Your Style (#DTIYS) Challenge in 2022  

Members will be challenged each quarter to create a piece in their own style based on a chosen piece from a famous artist using any media in any size/shape.   The only rule is to be inspired by the chosen work. 
Members’ pieces will be due at the July 14, 2022, meeting.
The famous work chosen is Monet’s Water Lilies, submitted by Marcia. There are 250 paintings in this series, so choose one or more that inspires you.  
    
  

Show & Tell  

Maria Becallo, Jennifer Seiger, and Maggie Kehoe shared artwork with the group.
 

Demo: Masking Magic & Watercolor Powders

Maggie Kehoe demonstrated a new product she found - Masking Magic, can cut shapes by hand, or run them through a cutter, peel off backing and apply to substrate (smooth surface works best in her experience). Maggie showed how she uses watercolor powders and water-reactive re-inkers in her projects. She shared a handout with supplies she used and sources to find them.
