Artist & Craftsman Supply demo Water-soluble Pastels Artist & Craftsman Supply
Get a little messy and try something new!

This month’s demo will be hosted by the Artist & Craftsman Supply in SE Portland. Artist & Craftsman Supply is a 100% employee-owned company with two locations in Portland.

This demo will focus on Neocolor II water-soluble wax based pastels, and Portfolio water-soluble oil pastels. Water-soluble pastels can be used on multiple types of surfaces, and even write on top of dry paint! They are great for loose sketches, decoupage, mix media paintings, and more. All members will be invited to try the pastels on multiple surfaces, ask questions about Artist & Craftsman, and enter a free raffle.

Mareika and Montana from Artist & Craftsman will facilitate.

CREATE WITH COURAGE: Mixed Media Workshop
with Linda Rothchild Ollis
This workshop offers a fresh approach for acrylic and collage artists.

Five demos will focus on step by step techniques, designed to develop your mental and artistic courage. Examples of new approaches for transparent collage papers, controlling value gradation with a high density foam roller, and expressive line making with sgraffito tools, are specifically designed for artists ready to step up to a new level of creative expression.
Following each demo, a short video will reveal how to move past the basics to a completed painting.
