A note: For all those who reserved a magazine from our United Through Watercolour exhibtion, due to the Canada post strike we are unable to say for sure when they will arrive. We will be sure to mail them out as soon as the strike is over.
If you missed it, we’re happy to present, recorded on zoom, the full video of the festivities, including Awards, speeches by Ian Wright and past president Ona Kingdon and demos by Luan Quach, Milena Guberinic and Lorraine Simonds.

THESE SESSIONS ARE OPEN TO EVERYONE
Just a reminder that this is open to everyone, no matter what your level of experience is. Since some may not have tried plein air painting before, I am including a quick check list of things you need to bring, and things you might want to bring (for those who aren’t sure.)
RECOMMENDED TO BRING: • Smaller pallet and limited selection of brushes • Paper or sketchbook with backing if you don’t have an easel • Container for water (and water to drink) • Portable chair/stool • Pencils and eraser for sketching • Snacks if you get hungry easily! • Dress for the weather, don’t forget sunscreen and a hat if it’s a sunny day
BRING IF YOU WISH: • portable easel • Ink or ink pens • Anything else you can think of!
In this publication you may see all the works and names on display, as well as the lucky winners of our prizes as selected by our resident master Luan Quach. (watch out for his new art book, which will be available for purchase at the show!)
For those not involved in the show, fear not as we will soon have another 3D gallery challenge starting in October.
Thank you to everyone who put in time and effort to make this wonderful magazine and event all that it is.
