Glenn Howarth
Victoria, Saturday, June 14th 1:00pm - 3:00pm

Eraser Drawing ~ Join Glenn as he uses powdered graphite and erasers to draw using a subtractive method. He will be using a full range of pencils, hard and soft erasers to draw tonally with edges only, without using line. In the early 1970's, Glenn was an arts writer working for two Canadian newspapers. He is represented by Virginia Christopher Fine Arts in Calgary. To view Glenn's work, visit www.glennhowarth.ca

Becky McMahon
Langley, Saturday, June 28th 2:00pm - 4:00pm

Special Effects on Rice Paper ~ Becky will share her painting techniques on rice paper: painting on both sides of the paper, crumpling, using alum water as a resist and glue. She will demonstrate mounting paintings as well. Becky both shows and sells her work across Canada and is an active member of the Federation of Canadian Artists. She paints in Oriental Brush style but loves to try new techniques. View her work at www.triskeltreecreations.com
