Subject: Update on Judy Pomroy.
Hi all,
Unfortunately Judy Pomroy is not well enough to tutor us for our first class on 3 Feb. Because of the short notice, I will take you for a watercolour class for that day. You will not need the texture mediums and collage items for my class. But you will need masking fluid and pen nibs etc plus âwordsâ and line drawings.
Judy is going to get you all to bring old paintings that you are “stuck on” and show you techniques on how to improve or fix them ..
In this case you will need:
Titananium white, flow acrylic medium, gold or silver acrylic
Some collage materials, rice paper, pearlized coloured inks if avail.I have attached a âversion 2â of the material list for you.
See you all at the meeting,
Regards,
Hilary.

CAG Notes from Metka Skrobar
Term 4 Materials List and Class notes for Metka Skrobar October 2014
Subject: Notes from Metka Skrobar
Hi Everyone,
Here are some notes from Metka Skrobar for Term 4:
- The Human Form – Oct 14 and 28
- Day 1 – Material List – Oct 14 – Drawing with a life model
- The Human Form – Material List – Oct 28
- Landscape in Acrylics – Nov 11 & 25
Our Exhibition for “My Queensland” has been accepted and will be scheduled for late 2015. So with that in mind I suggested to Metka that we could incorporate our human form into a beach or coastal landscape. We can also use Queensland subjects when we have the landscape classes.
Of course we will also be having our usual Annual Show and any subject can be used in that show.
Happy painting,
Regards,
Hilary.
