She also works on a variety of alternative\, non-traditional surfaces to take advantage of different qualities that they can offer for specific subjects. Gesso coated watercolor paper is a favorite alternate. It has similarities to Yupo\, but is less capricious. It’s a “happy medium” between Yupo and cold-pressed paper and is a great surface for watercolor! In her demo\, Alexis will tell and show how easy it is to prepare your paper\, and how she works with this surface. She has a terrific camera set-up. You will have a front row seat to watch and listen as she paints. \nBio \nAlexis Lavine has been creating art all of her life. She earned a Masters Degree from Johns Hopkins University in its acclaimed Art as Applied to Medicine program. She worked as a medical illustrator for several years – and then found herself living in the beautiful\, isolated mountains of western Maryland\, too far away from a medical school or a medical publisher to practice her trade. So she picked up her brushes and her watercolors and started painting the magnificent landscape that surrounded her – and she hasn’t looked back since. \nAlexis paints exclusively with watercolor\, occasionally ”en plein air\,” but more frequently in her studio\, where she constructs paintings which are thoughtfully designed\, carefully drawn\, and sensitively painted. She is also an enthusiastic art instructor\, who teaches painting and drawing classes and workshops. \nAlexis has lived in Greensboro\, North Carolina since 2002. Honored as “One to Watch” by Watercolor Artist Magazine\, her paintings have been published in Splash\, The Artistic Touch\, The Best of Watercolor\, and Watercolor Artist. She is a signature member of the American Watercolor Society\, National Watercolor Society\, Watercolor Honor Society\, Transparent Watercolor Society of America\, Watercolor West\, North East Watercolor Society\, and Southern Watercolor Society. Her work can be found in galleries in the mid-Atlantic and Southern states\, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. \nYou can see many of her paintings and learn more about her art and teaching by visiting her web site: www.alexislavineartist.com URL:https://newtonartassociation.com/event/demo-alexis-lavine-watercolor/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Demos ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://newtonartassociation.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Lavine-web.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20241121T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20241121T203000 DTSTAMP:20260607T122249 CREATED:20240820T041405Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241120T145020Z UID:10000098-1732215600-1732221000@newtonartassociation.com SUMMARY:PD: Nicholas M.

The presentation will review common exhibition types (solo / group shows) and offer practical advice for planning and installation. We will alsc raise critical questions about curatorial authority. Is there really a “correct” way to hang a show?\nAs an art consultant at Boston Art\, Jane approaches curating with a holistic method informed by awareness of contemporary context as well as the values of her clients. Jane has executed a wide variety of projects\, ranging from sensitive healthcare curation to large-scale corporate renovations\, to private clientele seeking to cultivate eclectic and personal collections. Prior to joining Boston Art\, Jane graduated from Sotheby’s Institute of Art with a Master’s Degree in Art Business with a specialization in Contemporary Art.

She composes natural forms together for their shape\, color and texture from direct observation and her imagination. She wants to interpret the beauty of light on natural forms and hopes to provide her viewers with a moment of quiet reflection. \nHer painting process begins with a bold underpainting that defines a composition of light and shadow. With close observation she adds layers of color to build texture and detail. She loves the quiet process of seeing the details slowly emerge in her paintings. \nDonna Calleja retired a few years ago from a rewarding career teaching art to high school students. She now loves teaching private adult painting classes and having more time to paint. Her paintings have been on display in recent shows at Nahcotta\, Concord Art\, E.

In contrast to her professional work\, her art focuses on non-objective abstraction in acrylic and collage/multi media\, exploring visual elements of color and shape and how they create a conversation with each other and as a whole.\nRaised in the a western suburb of Boston she recently relocated and works out of her home studio and Sutton Ma. She teaches her approach in workshops in the NE area. \nTopic: Deborah Drummond Demo: Printing with a Gel PlateTime: Jan 15\, 2026 07:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)Join Zoom Meetinghttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/85859299626?pwd=Io433lJlzuLbulYISa0lbs062p709H.1 \nView meeting insights with Zoom AI Companionhttps://us02web.zoom.us/launch/edl?muid=0ff62e5e-d30f-41ba-93b3-5a40d7d90099 \nMeeting ID: 858 5929 9626Passcode: 464540 URL:https://newtonartassociation.com/event/demo-deborah-drummond-endless-inspiration-creating-prints-with-the-gel-plate/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Demos ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://newtonartassociation.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/collage-book-drummond.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260120T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260120T203000 DTSTAMP:20260607T122249 CREATED:20251219T021028Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251219T021028Z UID:10000131-1768935600-1768941000@newtonartassociation.com SUMMARY:MEET & MINGLE DESCRIPTION:MEET & MINGLE\nRing in 2026 at our first Meet & Mingle.

We will begin with an assessment of my reference photo and then move on to color mixing and critiquing the palette followed by brush technique\, laying the paint in on top of the dark ground. Over the two hours\, the composition will coalesces while we discuss color\, edge\, shape\, and directionality\, content\, and mood. \nChristie Scheele began painting her atmospheric\, minimalist landscapes just before moving to the Catskills from New York City in 1990. She is an exhibiting artist of over forty years in multiple galleries nationwide. Scheele’s work is also included in private and public collections nationwide and internationally. \n \nTopic: Christie Scheele Art Demo: Painting in Cold WaxTime: Jan 22\, 2026 07:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)Join Zoom Meetinghttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/89876766884?pwd=mB3U4KZutiS1Gl0m4TuvrHsHFeZHUX.1 \nView meeting insights with Zoom AI Companionhttps://us02web.zoom.us/launch/edl?muid=58190bc9-ea93-4ac1-aa65-c7da85a2ed18 \nMeeting ID: 898 7676 6884Passcode: 000096 URL:https://newtonartassociation.com/event/demo-christie-scheele-painting-in-cold-wax/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Demos ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://newtonartassociation.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/christine-scheele.webp END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
