I've talked about this a little before, but I decided to post this link https://danielsmith.com/weekly-live-demos/ because it is so much fun and so interesting that I have to share.
Every Thursday, Daniel Smith has a meeting on Facebook and every Friday they have a Zoom meeting. Jim and I do the Friday Zoom meetings. John Cogley, the owner of Daniel Smith, is charming and very knowledgeable about watercolor paint. He hosts the meetings. An artist shows his or her work, does a demo and answers questions. The meetings last about an hour. You can participate without being on camera, so there's no pressure to get out of your pajamas and get dressed or put on makeup😊. The artists are from all over the world. It's so exciting to watch them work and listen to them talk.
Just to give you an idea of what this is like, at one of the past meetings, there were two artists painting and one artist interpreting. They were at the home of a Frenchman. One artist is Russian, one is Peruvian and the interpreting artist is Spanish. Everybody speaks English beautifully, but just in case someone needs assistance, the Spanish artist steps in. It was a wonderful demonstration with the Russian and Peruvian painting at the same time on the same painting - so lively and exciting with an international flavor. At the end, the French host broke out the champagne, of course! It was like we were at a party!
They have past meetings posted on their website. If you check out a meeting, let me know what you think.
I almost forgot to tell you - the meetings are free!
