The combined exhibit with members of the Arts and Letters Club is diverse and beautiful. A catalog of the exhibit is in the process of being printed later this month. Suzi will bring her copy to the November meeting unless she has it earlier and then will bring it to the October meeting if you are interested in looking at it during the break.

to the PAA membership. Valerie is a nationally known watercolor artist from our area and is a member of the Rochester Art Club as well as numerous regional watercolor societies and national watercolor societies. We were thrilled to be able to see three of her paintings up close and hearing about the process she uses to paint them. In her studio in Anderson Alley she paints on a large flat table with a melamine top. She puts her paints right on this surface rather than uses a palette in the studio. Her paper is wet before she begins using her wet on wet technique of painting. Valerie explained that one advantage of using gouache is that you can paint white areas over dark areas. You cannot do this with transparent watercolor. It is also not advantageous to mix the two (opaque and transparent). The one color she recommended using with transparent watercolor is cadmium red gouache. It is a very vivid red. If you would like to see more of her work you can visit her studio ( #210) during Anderson Alley’s Second Saturdays, or go to her website at www.valerielarson.com
