Watercolorist Nancy Tilles Shows the Wellington Art Society her Technique

On Wednesday, October 8 the Wellington Art Society hosted a members meeting at the Wellington Community Center. Everyone enjoyed an evening of refreshments and art. After our artists showing us their new work a brief meeting was held which was followed by an enchanting demonstration by the very talented watercolor artist Nancy Tilles. She demonstrated for us her technique for a portrait. Using a photo from her grandson's first birthday Nancy took us through her routine. It is always so enriching to see art take shape right before your eyes.
