BAGSC December 2023 Quarterly Meeting with demo by Akiko Enokido

Time to Celebrate! Time for the Holly and the Ivy!

All BAGSC members are cordially invited to our annual Holiday Meeting online, Saturday, December 9 at 3:00 pm Pacific Time. (Please note: our usual meeting time has been changed to accommodate the time difference between Japan and Southern California.) 

After a brief business meeting and announcement of our election results, we are very excited to present our holiday gift to our membership—a special workshop by our own Akiko Enokido. The holidays are the time to paint the glossy leaves of camellias, ivy and holly and Akiko will share her techniques and demonstrate the methods she uses to paint her renowned shiny leaves.

A longtime BAGSC member, Akiko is the recipient of a Gold Medal at the RHS Botanical Art show for her paintings of heritage Camellia japonicas. They showcase her mastery of dark, rich, strongly highlighted, glossy green leaves. She is sought after as an instructor, and her work is in exhibitions and collections around the world. Click here to view her work on her Instagram account.

To attend this hour-long demonstration, you must be a BAGSC member and RSVP for the meeting. RSVP by clicking the button and filling out the information. Members who RSVP also will receive a link to the recording of Akiko’s demonstration, which will be available for unlimited viewing for two weeks following the meeting. Members who attend live will be able to ask questions of Akiko. 

This is a wonderful opportunity to enhance your skills and watch a master at work.
