Join award-winning local artist Meghana (Meg) Mitragotri for a free virtual watercolor painting demonstration on September 22 through the Olive Hyde Art Guild. Meg‘s style, which is sometimes realistic and sometimes impressionistic, is inspired by countryside landscapes, birds and flowers. She will demonstrate techniques she has developed and share tips she has learned from other experienced watercolorists.

Meg has shown her work at the Fremont Art Association and participated in the Olive Hyde Art Guild’s Holiday Show. She also has shown at many Bay Area galleries and other venues, such as the Harrington Gallery in Pleasanton, the Bankhead Theater in Livermore, and San Ramon City Hall. Meg is very experienced at presenting virtual workshops and demonstrations. The Fremont Art Association recently hosted Meg at a virtual demonstration. It is important to Meg to give back to the community, especially during the pandemic. She is currently a director on the Pleasanton Art League’s Board, serving as the Scholarship Chairperson and is a member of Tri-Valley’s Online Tech Team working on virtual projects to bring communities together.

Meg is a prolific artist who also does a variety of crafts. Check out her website for beautiful examples of all her work and learn more about her at daintlymade.com.

Although this event is not a workshop, everyone is invited to try Meg’s techniques as she demonstrates her process.
