September Meeting – Painting Day

September 29, 2025

This month, we were treated to a fascinating demo from Mo Awkati, who showed us how proportional dividers can be used in our work.

Thank you, Mo! This is very useful to know when scaling measurements up and down in botanical art and illustration.

After lunch, we returned to our own pieces, which is always a great time to catch up with others and swap tips about the tools and techniques we’re exploring.
