Award winning artist Bonnie Kuntz gave a demonstration of wax resist techniques in watercolor at the F.A.A. meeting on Tuesday November 4, 2014. Among other awards, Bonnie won first place in the Western Ohio Watercolor Society in both 2010 and 2011. She has had work in several area galleries and taught workshops and classes throughout the region. In addition to demonstrating her techniques, she kept the members entertained with several humorous stories about her experiences, especially concerning the consequences of eating too many crayons!
