October 2015 Monthly Meeting

Charles Reid, who was leading a workshop, visited our monthly meeting and answered questions from members.  Assisting him was Phil Harrison (left in photo), vice president.

 

 

 CVC members culled some choice words of advice for painters from the weeklong workshop that Reid led. Here are some outstanding ones:

 

When you don't know what to do, don't do it.

The painting is finished when it's finished.

Leave it unsaid rather than say it badly.

I don't expect you to be perfect, but it's nice to try.
