Schedule of Las Cruces Meetings

Southern Chapter Meetings

    • Sunday, November 10, 2024
    • 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM
    • 3011 Buena Vida Circle, Las Cruces, NM

    Come join us for a drawing demo by Sue Davis who will be teaching a drawing miniseries for the Southern Chapter in January and February 2025.  She will demonstrate how to use linear perspective in landscape drawing and will explain the content and format of the sessions.  

    Sue is a graduate of the American Academy of Art in Chicago and has been teaching at the college level for over 14 years. She draws every single day and enjoys helping others discover the simple joy of sketching. Sue believes that knowing how to see and draw well is the foundation for creating believable paintings.

    We welcome the public to join us for this fun program.  Hope to see you there!

    “Painting Watching: A Gentle Critique”

    Molly Murphy

    November 16, 10:30 am-12 noon

    Mesilla Park Heritage Condominium Clubhouse

    905 Conway Ave., Mesilla Park

    Bring a Painting for Feedback!
    NO Cost but Donation Appreciated

    “Painting Watching: A Gentle Critique” is a group of directed activities that Molly designed as a format to talk about works of art. While they can be used in many ways, these activities are especially effective as tools for feedback to artists as they are creating the piece. Molly will bring one of her prints as a basis for the activities to introduce us to the idea of a gentle critique. The free session is limited to ten people who will bring a painting of their own to offer for critique. Contact Beverley Pirtle at bapirtle[at]comcast.net to register. Donations are accepted.

    Molly is a member of NMWS-SC, and artist, and an educator who splits her time between Las Cruces and San Diego. She gave the November 2023 program on this subject. There was a follow-up “mini meeting ‘on this subject which was very popular last year. Molly graciously agreed to present this mini meeting again for us on November 16th.

    For 47 years, teaching was Molly’s “Winter” art, and painting was her “Summer” one. Now, retired from both the 6th grade classroom and as an adjunct Art Education professor at School of Museum of Fine Arts Boston/Tufts University, she is a full-time artist who teaches a little bit and divides her time between Las Cruces and Southern California.
