What a wonderful evening at the Arts Colony of La Mirada! 🎨

Award-winning watercolor artist Jason Lee captivated attendees with a mesmerizing demonstration, bringing a glowing sunset scene to life right before our eyes.

What an inspiring evening at the Arts Colony of La Mirada! 🎨

At our demonstration last Monday, award-winning artist Ruben Zavala introduced us to the creative possibilities of digital art using Adobe Fresco on a tablet. Ruben showed how this powerful program can be used as a versatile and expressive tool for creating high-quality artwork, blending traditional artistic skills with modern technology. Members enjoyed watching his process and learning how digital media can open new doors for artistic exploration.

We also want to congratulate Kimberly and Scott, the winners of our friendly art competition. Well done! 👏 Your work was wonderful to see and added to the creative spirit of the evening.

If you enjoy art, learning new techniques, and connecting with other creative people, we invite you to join us at one of our future demonstration meetings. Each month, we feature talented artists who share their process and inspire us all to keep creating!

We hope to see you at our next meeting! 🎨
