Euclid Art Association

Welcome to the Euclid Art Association...

The new 2024-2025 season starts with an in-person meeting on Monday, September 9 at 7:00p.m. in Fellowship Hall, East Shore United Methodist Church, 23002 Lakeshore Blvd, Euclid. It’s the second Monday in the month due to Labor Day! We are featuring a demonstration by member artist, Elias Traboulsi titled "Monochromatic Portraits from B&W Photos". Elias will show how he paints simplified portraits from B&W photos using watercolors and a rudimentary pencil sketch. Bring an old B&W headshot of a parent or grandparent, a person you admire or a famous person and Elias might choose it for the demonstration. If you want to paint along, bring a couple of sheets of Bristol paper, a pencil, a medium size brush and some Payne's gray or sepia watercolor paint.

Join us for this fun and informative evening. Remember, it’s BYOT (Bring Your Own Treats) to share with 6 to 8 people after the meeting. All are welcome to attend. Guest fee is a $3.00 donation.
