"Flowers" Mass Demonstration - Centurion Watercolour Society


The mass demonstration with the theme "Flowers" which was organised by the Centurion Watercolour Society was held on Saturday afternoon on 15 August, and was fairly well attended by members from BAASA's Pretoria group.

Gill Condy was there representing BAASA, and although there were only 7 artists demonstrating in total, it was still interesting to see every one's entirely unique style and approach to painting floral subjects.



Linda Fourie, from the Centurion Watercolour Society, painted a rose in transparent glazes.


Gillian Condy represented BAASA and worked on her painting of the very rare Aloe peglerae, which is endemic to Gauteng and the North West Province.





Mary Lynn Kidd represented the Miniature Art Society of South Africa, and painted a miniature floral arrangement.
