Fall 2025 Guest Demo Artist Schedule
Our Demo Artist Meet Ups are for members only, but we welcome new members at any time. For more information on how to become a member please click here.
The Chemainus Art Group is thrilled to host a guest artist at our monthly Meet-Up on the 2nd Wednesday of the month. It's always inspirational when our guests talk to us about their work, do a demo or lead a work-along. Here is what we have planned for the Fall 2025 schedule.
September 10th 2025 - Elissa Anthony
Expressive Backgrounds -
"My work centers on painting large-scale florals that embody beauty, strength, and movement. Each painting begins with a carefully sketched and underpainted subject. After refining initial details, I shift my focus to the background—where the creative energy unfolds, bringing depth, emotion, and narrative to the final piece.
In this Demo I will attempt to create one of these backgrounds so that you can see, even if you are a realist, you can enjoy the abstraction and impressionism of an emotionally charged background."
