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.

Post 404: PWAS Meeting Featuring Pierre Georges Mon, Sep 25

PWAS Meeting Featuring Pierre Georges Mon, Sep 25, 2023 at 7:30pm

At the next Prince William Art Society meeting scheduled for Monday, September 25, 2023 at 7:30pm, the guest artist speaker will be a new PWAS member, Pierre Georges. Come by to see his presentation, stay for snacks and meet the art group and then enjoy the meeting.

Guest Artist Pierre Georges

The Prince William Art Society will meet at 7:30 on September 25th at the Tall Oaks Community Center (12298 Cotton Mill Dr., Woodbridge, VA 22192). The meeting will open with a program by Fine Artist Pierre Georges. Following the program, there will be light refreshments then a business meeting where information about PWAS activities and plans will be shared. Programs and meetings are free and open to the public, who are cordially invited to attend.

Having spent several of his childhood years in Haiti, Mr. Georges became an illustrator in the Navy. Open to a variety of influences and creative experimentation, his body of work nevertheless retains a signature aesthetic whether depicting people caught in dramatic moments or daily life in lush idyllic landscapes. His palette ranges from muted to saturated vivacity; always being used effectively to support the subject and intent. Mr. Georges will share his work with us, and discuss how his process helps him establish a plan and decide on aspects of the execution in order to produce the image he envisions. Pierre Georges' work can be viewed at www.pierreggeorges.com.

See four of Pierre's art pieces titled Crying God, Times Square, The Catch, and Ready for War.

See you at the meeting!
