How to stretch watercolor paper on stretcher bars.
A lot of people know how to stretch watercolor paper on flat surfaces. I will bring an example in case you don’t know about that and can have a short discussion on that topic. However, not a lot of people have ever stretched watercolor paper onto stretcher bars much like canvas. I will demonstrate how to do that as well as bring examples of finished pieces along with two pieces that have been painted using stretched paper on stretcher bars.
Open to the public!
DECEMBER MEMBERSHIP SHOW

We’re getting a head start on the December Membership Show this year starting on November 25th, the day after Thanksgiving. Just like we did last year, we will have our opening reception for both the December Membership Show and the 6×6 Silent Auction on the same night.

6X6 SHOW / SILENT AUCTION
Our second annual silent auction to raise funds for ANA
December 8, 2022
Time: 4:30 – 7:30pm
We are holding our second annual 6 x 6 Show on the evening of December 8, just in time for Christmas gift shopping. Last year’s event was such a success that we’ve decided to make it a new tradition at ANA. The 6” x 6” show is a silent auction to raise money for programs and expenses at ANA. We are providing you up to 3 FREE 6” x 6” stretched canvases. You’ll sign for them, take them home, paint whatever you choose on them, and then bring them back on November 18-19 (Friday and Saturday), that’s the December Membership Show drop-off date. We’ll hold the silent auction during the December Membership Show opening on December 8.
CANVAS PICK-UP and DROP-OFF
There are a few canvases left, so you can pick up 3 FREE 6 x 6 canvases and the show instruction sheet at the ANA Gallery during our regular ANA Gallery hours.
