SUMMARY:January Members Meeting and Demonstration by Dan Meyer
DESCRIPTION:What better welcome back after the holidays! Join us on January 18th\, the third Thursday of the month\, at the Amherst Community Church for a short Members Meeting and a Demonstration by popular teacher and inspiring Watercolor Artist Dan Meyer. Everyone is welcome. \nDan Meyer is a Buffalo born painter who enjoys the challenge of transparent watercolor’s spontaneity and luminescent quality. As a wildlife artist and illustrator\, Dan’s creations have won numerous awards and have been featured on posters\, consumer packaging and national magazine articles. He exhibits his work at wildlife art shows throughout the year including the prestigious Southeastern Wildlife Exposition in Charleston\, South Carolina and Easton Waterfowl Festival in Easton\, Maryland. Dan is a member and past president of the Niagara Frontier Watercolor Society and honorary member of the Central New York Watercolor Society. www.woodswindnwater.com. \nWith over 40 years of art experience\, Dan Meyer has been interpreting his encounters with the avian wildlife of North America through the use of transparent watercolor. His attempt at capturing the essence of his subject is directly related to his emphasis on values and the luminecient quality of the medium.\nDan considers himself a purist when it comes to watercolors\, meaning he uses no white paint and tries to avoid opaque colors. The whites of his paintings are the results of painting values around an area leaving the bare paper to create the white. This method of watercolor is one of the challenges that inspires Dan to create new paintings with the same excitement and enthusiasm that he had with his very first painting.\nDan’s inspiration for a painting comes from observing his subject in its natural environment. He gathers information through sketches\, notes and photography. In his studio he uses those references to create several sketches of the subject in various positions as part of the design process which will produce an eye-catching and interesting as well as self satisfying painting.\nA graduate of the Art Institute of Pittsburgh\, Dan worked in the advertising and packaging fields before pursuing Wildlife Art full time. His images have been used on packaging\, posters\, textiles and in sportsman magazines. He exhibits at a number of wildlife art shows in the east and shares his artistic knowledge with students through classes and workshops. Dan is a charter member and past president of the Niagara Frontier Watercolor Society and honorary member of the Central New York Watercolor Society.

SUMMARY:November Members Meeting and Demonstration by Paul Allen Taylor
DESCRIPTION:Come learn about what’s happening in the watercolor community in Western New York\, enjoy the company of fellow watercolor and watermedia enthusiasts\, and watch a demonstration by the colorful impressionist painter from Rochester\, NY\, Paul Allen Taylor. \n  \nBorn in Rochester\, NY\, Paul Allen Taylor is a self-taught watercolorist recognized for his fresh use of color and impressionistic style. As a respected teacher and workshop instructor\, Taylor has developed a following where students find him engaging\, highly skilled\, and entertaining. \nI have been working in watercolor for nearly thirty years. In the beginning I painted as a hobby after finishing college classes. With time my skills improved and my range of subjects grew. I soon realized that painting was not just something to do\, but something I needed to do. \nToday I am an artist fulfilling a personal drive\, teaching others what I have learned and  benefitting from the sales of my art. \nMy recent work has involved pre-drawing in ink with a match stick. Where some artists will draw over a watercolor in pen and ink\, the pre-ink method with a match stick creates a drawing with varied line as the basis for the painting. This drawing not only adds necessary detail and shape definition to the work but also makes the painting process easier. This will be the subject of my demonstration for NFWS. \n  \nTaylor teaches watercolor for the Rush Henrietta Schools Adult Education program and the Artstore at Southtown Plaza in Rochester. His work can be seen at the Artstop in Penfield\, NY\, the Lower Mill Gallery in Honeoye Falls\, NY\, Bay House Artisans\, Alexandria Bay\, NY\, and Mares Wares Pottery\, Morristown\, NY.

SUMMARY:September Members Meeting and Demonstration by Eileen Sudzina
DESCRIPTION:Come learn about what’s happening in the watercolor community in Western New York\, enjoy the company of fellow watercolor and watermedia enthusiasts\, and watch a demonstration by the exciting painter from Pittsburgh\, Eileen Sudzina. \nEileen offers: “When painting\, I lose myself for a while and am free to create and design a work that’s loose and spontaneous on YUPO. I try to capture just the essence of what’s inside myself\, painting quickly with a lot of flowing energy.

SUMMARY:October 2016 NFWS Members' Meeting and Thomas W. Schaller Demonstration
DESCRIPTION:NFWS welcomes our Fall 2016 Workshop Artist\, Tom Schaller to the Burchfield Penney Art Center auditorium for his much anticipated demonstration. Tom has shared with us:”All art has some story to tell. And in my work – far more than any specific object or space – it is the narrative of light that is always the focus. While I love to paint cityscapes and buildings\, I have found that it is the often abstract dialogue between – and the collision of – the natural and the man-made worlds that makes the most compelling subject matter for me. The fascinating ways in which buildings interact with the sky and the landscapes where they are placed form countless surprising and beautiful compositions of positive and negative shapes – rich darks and sparkling lights. \nAs an architect\, I was trained in the strict Beaux-Arts methods of watercolor application; but as a fine artist\, I have grown to love the integration of those formal techniques with the freedom of much looser\, less controlled\, and expressionistic methods. It is my goal to paint quickly\, drawing on emotion and sense memory – finishing a painting all in one go. When finished\, I like my watercolors to still look as if they are wet. In many ways\, I see watercolor as a natural extension of the intuitive act of drawing. But rather than using a line formed by pen or pencil\, in watercolor\, I draw using shapes – shapes of value – shapes of shadow and light.” \nVisitors are invited to hear about watercolor classes and upcoming events\, watch the demo\, and enjoy the BPAC galleries and gift shop with a group of enthusiastic fellow artists and art lovers.

SUMMARY:Members Meeting & Demonstration
DESCRIPTION:Our November demonstration will be by our NFWS Signature Member\, artist and beloved teacher\, Joan Hambleton. Joan works in a variety of styles in transparent watercolor and aqua media. She calls her work impressionistic plein air. She describes herself this way:\n“As an artist\, I like painting the things I see around me. Studying the play of light against the background and the various changes in color and value are exciting personal experiences for me. I have been recognized in Western New York for my watercolors and acrylics and am constantly exploring new modes of expression.Much of my work begins outdoors with either transparent watercolors or acrylics. Along with some sketches and photographs\, I return to my studio to complete my paintings. By working this way\, I hope to respond to my environment and capture the spirit of the day. Once in the studio\, I continue to work with both watercolors and acrylics in combination.This gives me a sense of freedom and adds a new dimension to my work. .My work is done on untreated paper and is still considered aqua-media.” \nThe meeting and demo begin at 7 pm and last til 9 pm.\nJoin us as we enjoy the company of painters and art lovers.
