OAG November Meeting
& Demo by Tom D. Wester
Monday, November 21st from 7-9PM!
City Arts at State Fair Park
Art and Mediative Drawing
Award-Winning graphite pencil and pastel artist, Tom D. Wester, is scheduled to speak at next Oklahoma Art Guild Meeting on the third Monday, November 21st from 7 - 9 pm at the City Art Center. Come hear Tom explain and demonstrate how a combination of influences has manifested and impacted his approach to creating art from intermixing personal experiences, social commentary, and meditation into his unique process of using  pencil on paper in a painterly style. See through his demo how he pushes "drawing" to the next level to create complex beautiful pieces with graphite, pastels, and an electric eraser. His drawings infuse a basic minimalism composition while creating the feel of energy, electricity, and zeal within the pieces. Don't miss out on this exciting opportunity!
