A January Artist's Date--for You

Thursday, January 16 from 10 am. to 3 pm--or whatever fraction of that you can come--you are invited to the library for another Artist's Date. 

We'll spend the morning painting or sketching some still lifes I'll set up in the front room where all the light is. I've ordered flowers for one area and I have a couple of other more squirky setups in mind...Bring your art supplies and your lunch and after we've played hard we'll eat together and chat. The College's catering service will be providing us with beverages and some desserts.

I've also ordered in some books that may be of interest and put them on display on our Round Wall, near where we'll be painting. You're welcome to check them out and take them home. 

In the afternoon we'll retire to the computer lab where we can pool our information about how to use the basic Microsoft Office tools and some free web-based tools for manipulating and researching your reference photos. Everyone is welcome; this isn't limited to Tomball Art League people. This is designed for adults but a well-behaved motivated child will not be turned away.

ARTIST'S DATE: Read art magazines

When Julia Cameron wrote her now-famous book, The Artist's Way, she promoted the idea of regularly going on an artist's date in order to keep the soul fresh and inspired. Here at the library we have some great tools for artist's dates: art magazines and journals. We also have nice soft lounge chairs, coffee, and lovely light streaming through the windows. C'mon by!
