Post 407: Recap of PWAS Meeting with Pierre Georges

Recap of PWAS Meeting with Pierre Georges

On the fourth Monday of the month, each month, the Prince William Art Society meets at the Tall Oaks Community Center on the corner of Cotton and Hedge Run in Lake Ridge. The meeting this past Monday started with PWAS member Pierre Georges showing and describing his art process - from detailed sketches to final, colorful canvas.

And see the pictures below to get an eyeful of this talented artist's work.








Pierre showing his "go-to supplies" and his tips on the process he uses to begin a painting.  Amazingly, he mostly uses only a few basic tools and he loves working on a large scale. He even cuts his paint brushes with scissors to get it to do what he wants the brush to do.







Pierre describing that he posts on the back of his artworks where it was painted.




 After Pierre's wonderful presentation, PWAS had a short snack break and then went over the business side of the meeting.

  3. I was wishing that I had taken notes on his wonderful art tips! And his basic kit was wonderful as well. I'm trying to remember what was all in it!
