CTWS February 2025 Monthly Program
Program: Waco Landmark Project, Ink & Wash - Artist: Sarah Pick
Members attending fee: $15.00 I will be leading an architectural project in our February meeting with the aim of each of us completing a few 8x10 sketch and wash projects of Waco landmarks. If you have a particular favorite landmark, please email any pictures you may have to me (1234picks@gmail.com) at least one week prior to the meeting, so I can size the picture appropriately and print for you. Any picture we include should be recognizable as Waco (churches, silos, landmarks, court- house, statues, university, etc.) However, you do NOT need to have a photo as I will bring an array of 8x10 photos that I have taken for this project. We will also have a small practice project we will paint together as a learning exercise. Please bring: • 3 or more 8x10 sized watercolor sheets (140# Professional quality). Cut to size would be preferred. • Graphite tracing paper OR just cover any tracing paper with pencil graphite on one side and ensure it is at least 8 x 10. • Your normal paints & supplies • Ink sketch pen of choice (not water soluble) • 1⁄2” wash brush (square) For those of you who don’t know me, I started my adult life working for Caterpillar for 16 years as a logistics engineer. I retired in 1991 and helped develop and run my family’s Wedding Venue business remotely. Of course, that left a little time to take on fun things like tennis, art, etc. I started painting shortly after I moved to Waco just over 10 years ago and I really enjoy experi- menting with watercolor platforms -- from fine art with detailed backgrounds to fun ink and wash sketches and graphic art applica- tions. I love the flexibility and fresh poten- tial of the transparent watercolor medium, including wet-on-wet, splashing, mopping, texturizing and more. Watercolor provides so much opportunity to play. In this architectural project, I hope to teach you how to ‘cheat’ a bit on the architectural rendering so that the project is less daunting. Still, we will aim to stay loose with the sketch and wash. If we are successful, I will attempt to organize an art collection booklet we can print on Amazon. Keep those ink pens moving! Sarah
