- a dust brush/Swiffer (whatever you use to get rid of pencil crumbs)

Lori will supply demo sheets and paper to draw on.

DRAW SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FLORA
Please bring your completed artists trading cards of Southern California flora or fauna to the next meeting. It will be fun to see them all. It’s also not too late to start on one if you haven’t already.
Each year, each chapter of CPSA presents some kind of a display in the hospitality room at the National Convention, which will be held in Los Gatos, California, this summer. Prez Bobbie Bradford will attend and will haul our display with her.
Our project is artist trading cards with drawings of the flora (and fauna) of Southern California on them tied to a tree branch.
Cut a piece of paper 2.5” x 3.5”, the standard size for these art trading cards. Find a plant that’s typical of our area and draw it on the card with colored pencils. If you’d like, you may broaden it to include Southern California fauna. (The cat people in this chapter pushed for this one, we think.) Do one on each side of the card. Easy! The cards are small enough that you can experiment, and if you blow it, you haven’t lost much. It’s a good time to try other kinds of papers, too.
