Guest Demonstrator: Phyllis Doyon
Phyllis Doyon will demonstrate in watercolor at our Annual Winter Dinner meeting. Phyllis says, “I have always loved to work with watercolor and water media, enjoying the vibrant colors and flow of the paint. Committing to bold color early in the painting keeps the work clean and transparent. This is what gives watercolor its sparkle and life.”
