The Dry Image Transfer process is a method to transfer an image onto substrate to integrate with colored pencils or another medium. Imagine the possibilities! 
For those attending the hybrid meeting in person, sheets of pre-mounted wax paper, watercolor paper, and a printer will be provided. Instructions will be emailed for ZOOM participants to prepare the pre-mounted wax paper at home.
CALL for ARTISTS

CPSA DC 201-Portland Chapter is seeking mixed media CP artist members to lead 2024 chapter events using mixed media with colored pencil. You can partner up with a buddy; present from the comfort of your art chair via ZOOM; ask members to raid their art supplies for a group share; or ask a child what they did in art class recently and to be your presentation buddy.    Contact Lori if you have some ideas!

“It was such a FUN workshop!!!! This was such a great change of pace for me.  Sue Horwath

“This was fun! I tried not to think, but just did it.” – Pat Averill

Thanks, Karen. It was actually just some nice creative play for a little while on Saturday. I’m usually so focused on creating something specific with my art that I never let myself have just purely escape time. So it was a great experience. 
We could almost charge for this! Thanks again!  —Rhonda Dicksion
