FAA February workshop to feature impressionistic art

FALLBROOK – Fallbrook Art Association's Gallery has moved to 300 N. Brandon Road, in the Old Town Fallbrook complex. The new location will provide more space to display members' art in monthly shows and special events.

FAA general member meetings are held each month at the Fallbrook Women's Club, 238 W. Mission Road. General meetings are always free and open to the public, 9:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. Same day workshops start at 1 p.m.

On Feb. 19, Fallbrook Art Association will welcome CharCee (Charlotte) Colosia. A local artist, Colosia has been painting in North County for 40+ years. She enjoys teaching in senior facilities throughout San Diego. Galleries where her work is displayed include Off Track Gallery in Encinitas, North County Art League and Adore Art Gallery in Carlsbad and FAA's The Gallery.

Colosia paints with oils, watercolor, and acrylic and uses an impressionistic style that captures color, light, and a free sense of design that draws the viewer into the painting upon first impression. This month's artist demonstration will feature Colosia's watercolor techniques and she will also do a critique, starting at 9:30 a.m., one painting per person.

Her workshop will follow the general meeting starting at 1 p.m. at the same location. Artists are asked to register for the workshop in advance. The cost to members is $40, $50 for non-members. Call Carol Reardon to register for the workshop and receive a materials list, 760-221-5577.

If anyone is interested in making new friends, being around art and artists, and enjoying community activities, the FAA is looking for volunteers to help in many categories. They do not have to be a member of the FAA or an artist to volunteer their time. Call Marian Seiders, for more information, 310-991-2984.
