Karl Lewins For the past twenty years, a common interest has united a particular group of people from the Orono area, every Wednesday from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Over the years, the meeting place has 1 been changed and certainly faces have come and gone, but the common interest remains the same. That is to paint,, whatever the artist desires, in whatever medium the artist prefers. Currently, 17 members are enrolled in the Orono Art Group and meet at the specified time at the old Kirby Kirby School Hçuse Museum.* Each artist brings the particular particular 'tools of the trade', sets up wherever he desires, and "proceeds to paint and chatteri for the next two hours. The artists receive individual individual instruction throughout the meeting from Carolyn Reynolds, a graduate from the Ontario College of.Art, and instructor of the class for approximately three years. Betty Creighton, a three year member of the group, praised the type of instruction instruction highly, saying it is "excellent because everyone is at their own stage" and taught accordingly. Creighton, who has been painting since public school also praised the type of in- struction and class format because there is no pressure. The instructor often points out to the class a particular artist's work in order to emphasize emphasize a certain technique or simply to show improvement of one form or another. The classes are very informal informal and have an atmosphere somewhat like that of Greenwich Greenwich Village. Some artists prefer to bring their own models, others use that of the instructor's, and still others use no model at all. However, regardless of the models and mediums preferred preferred by each individual artist, they all have their own very special technique.
