With this medium, we will be diving into the world of lines, patterning and decorative detail. This medium also provides vivid colors as well, with the use of fine point and brush tip marker pens. You will learn numerous patterning techniques and how to lay down the colors for the best blended looks.All are welcome—from beginner to advanced. All you have to bring is a pencil and a pink eraser. I will be providing all of the rest of the materials, pens, paper, etc. You get to try out this medium without having to purchase anything, so you can see if it’s something you would be interested in. No easels needed.

Spring and Fall Meetings
Twice a year the association gathers for meetings, usually at Hannah Grimes Center on Roxbury Street in Keene. Programs include updates on association business, workshops, demonstrations and socializing with other members. Refreshments are provided and the get-togethers are free and open to the public.
Member Exhibits
Periodically, Monadnock Area Artists Association members have opportunities to exhibit at unscheduled shows. In 2024, the association invited members to join the July show at the Crowell Gallery in Newfane, VT. This event was volunteer-led and we welcome initiatives like this.
