Muskham Art Group - Demonstrations
Every year we try to have a good variety of demonstrations
and workshops by visiting professional artists. We have
had Liz Haywood, Vic
Bearcroft, Rob Wareing, Gwen
Scott, Rachel Connolly, Jan
Osbond, Dave Woolass, and Michael
Webster (to name but a few) come and give us valuable
demonstrations. Every demo teaches us something new and they serve
to motivate and inspire.
On March 24th we have a workshop with Jan Osbond where we will
be learning all about techniques for adding texture to our
paintings.
On 2nd June we will make what has now become our
annual pilgrimage to Michael Webster's house in
Spilsby for a day's painting and tuition. We always have
a superb day out. The food, company and painting are brilliant
(the weather usually is too!). The group is taken by Mike to see
the local sights and points of artisitic interest.
More demonstrations, workshops and perhaps some days
out will be added to our calendar later. Watch this
space...
Below are photos showing Mike Webster
giving a demonstration. He was showing us how to paint a more
interesting picture by amalgamating photographs.
In Liz Woodcock's last demo she
showed us how she used gravity to get the required effects:
In Vic Bearcroft's demo he showed
us how he created wonderful. realistic pictures of animals. His
favourite subject is wolves and in his demo he produced a picture
of a howling wolf using pastels on velour:
Jan Osbond gave a very comprehensive
demonstration on how to create texture in painting. She gave us
some amazing ideas which we are dying to put into practice. The
photo below shows Jan with a painting that uses 101 different ways
of creating texture!
