In Memoriam of Edith Arbaugh
It is with heavy hearts, once again, that we learned of the passing of another CVWG member. Edith Arbaugh, pictured at the top of this post, shared the distinction of being one of the founding members of our Central Virginia Watercolor Guild. Along with Marion Hansen and Patricia Travers, she nurtured our Guild into the success it is today.

Our October 24 Meeting, Program, & Challenge!
Our next meeting is Monday, October 24 at our usual time and location as posted on our Members, Meetings, & Programs page. We gather for social time at 12:30 PM, start the meeting by 1:00 PM, and usually end by 3:00 PM.
Member Artist Linda Abbey has graciously agreed to lead our Program on the practice of Drawing Portraits. As Linda says,
I will be showing how to draw a portrait. People should bring a sketching pencil and/or charcoal to draw with. That’s all the materials you need to bring with you.
I will supply paper for each artist, and an eraser, some additional pencils/charcoal, paper towels, and cleaning supplies at each table. Unfortunately, we will not have time for painting watercolor at this meeting so, please leave those supplies at home.
I look forward to our drawing together.
The Challenge! topic for this meeting is Children. Bring your art in any media to share begore the meeting and when called during the meeting.
