On Saturday 16th December a number of members attended an acrylic workshop, with Artist Sonia Villiers, I think tthe high quality of their work here speaks for itself. Well done all!!
Something very fishy was going on at this months meeting. Members were encouraged to take last months demo of fish in oils as inspiration. Opposite is a work in charcoal and pastel pencil.
Our Winter exhibition opens today in the Haverhill Library and will be on display until 2nd December. There are a wide range of subjects and media used and an original artwork makes a fabulous Christmas gift.
The Christmas cards have now been printed and look superb, warm congratulations to those artists whose cards were printed.
Our September meeting saw a good turn out for the hands on event, we also saw a number of great submissions for the Christmas card competition.
At our September meeting we had a very informative evening with Artist Rodney Bastable (opposite) who shared with us one of his latest works (still in progress).
Our July meeting saw a good number of members doing their own chosen work ranging from locos to horse portraits!…looking ahead to next month we will have visiting artist Rodney Bastable who will be demonstrating the use of acrylics!.
Our June meeting saw members working tand using Last months demonstartion by Artist Monica Alikoviene as inspiration. Opposite are 2 stacked cups painted in Watercolour at the June meeting.
Our May meeting was a very enjoyable demonstration by visiting Artist Monica Alikoviene who produced this remarkable photo-realistc still life. Monoca’s attention to details and tonal control was amazing. viewing the actual painting one can see the brilliance of the colours and appreciate the 3d modelling achieved. Our meeting next month will be a hands on workshop all are welcome both members and non-members.
