As a reminder, La Jolla Art Association is hosting a water-based oil painting demonstration with Artist-Member Virginia Howlett. The demo will be held at the La Jolla Community Center this Thursday, October 27th from 4-6pm. Attendance is free, so invite a friend or two and make it an outing.
Virginia will demonstrate how she uses water-based oils on canvas to create an impressionist-style landscape painting from a reference photo. Many artists prefer water-based oils as they are less toxic than traditional oil paints/solvents. Virginia will discuss the differences between acrylic paint, traditional oils and water-based oils, and describe the difference between photo-realism and impressionist styles of painting. Virginia is an accomplished artist and has a wealth of knowledge to share - click here to learn more about her background and view additional works of art.
