January General Meeting and Demo
January 16, 2018
7:00 PM

Please join us for an evening with
Jean Haines



Living in China was a time when studying brush control had the greatest impact on the evolvement of Jeans style. Later working with artists from India and Pakistan introduced vibrant colours in her results compared to her previous more quiet watercolours created whilst living in Europe.

The combination of East meets West in her style is unavoidable and to be enjoyed. Free flow of water along with no fear of working directly minus the use of a preliminary sketch leads Jean to amazing results that often leave viewers of her working in awe. Light and the use of beautiful colour along with the ability to take any ordinary subject and turn it into an extraordinary painting with consistently unique results is what many artists aspire to achieve. Furthermore Jean has the ability to install enthusiasm and inspirational motivation in all around her.

LOGO CONTEST

Deadline January 13, 2018


Current Logo

Gold Coast Watercolor Society (A Watermedia Group) is looking for a new LOGO or visual identity to promote our group.  We are seeking inspired artists (members or non members) who can design a creative and innovative logo design. The logo should be recognizable for who we are. You do not need to be a graphic designer we will take winning LOGO to a professional to clean it up and make it print ready.  

Winner will be selected by membership votes at the January and February general meetings.

Contest winner will receive a selection of Holbein Watercolors (and bragging rights!). The winner and design will be featured in an upcoming newsletter with interview by Jen Walls.

Please click here for more details regarding logo design, contest rules & submission requirements.
