Printmaking demonstration will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 13

An Art League demonstration will be held Tuesday, Sept. 13, in Clubhouse 4 at 7 p.m. Local artist Carmen Leslie and Carol Levine will be the demonstrators.

Levine will demonstrate monoprinting, which creates a one-of-a-kind print. It can be accomplished in different mediums on a flat smooth surface.

Leslie will follow with Gelli printing, a similar form of monoprinting on a gelatin, mineral oil plate adding the use of stencil and found objects. She will use acrylic paint.

Levine taught art at Stanford Middle School in Long Beach after studying art at Arizona State University. She works in a variety of mediums including oil, watercolors, copper enameling and carboard.

Leslie studied at Long Beach City College and Cal State Long Beach. She was the owner and operator of Brush ‘n Palette in Bellflower through the 1970s while painting and teaching art. She later traveled to northern Nevada to teach and paint for Catholic Schools, Brewery Art Center and St. Mary’s Art Center. She returned to Southern California in 2000 and settled into life in Leisure World with brush and pastels in hand. Adding watercolor and mixed media to her work, she is still looking to new painting pleasures and discoveries in the years to come.

Artists who want to enter the monthly membership art show should arrive by 6:30 p.m. with their art in hand. By popular vote, the subject theme is “landscape.”
