Art Show Information from Community Newspapers
Art Lending of Ottawa offers a wide variety of art. There is more than oil, acrylic and watercolour paintings on display at our art shows. Some of our artists work in photo-based art, pastel, encaustics, mosaics, printmaking, batik, and fibre art.
Marie Léger, for example has been with us for many, many years and is now working with encaustics. This medium goes back to antiquity, is becoming more and more popular. It involves using molten beeswax mixed with resin and pigments. For Marie, the unexpected textures, and results of encaustics keep the painting process exciting and fresh. Drop by our art show to see examples of this intriguing medium that allows the creation of layers, textures, and great luminosity.
All our artists are passionate about their art and hope you will drop by our next show.
