Dear Members and Exhibitors and visitors

The forecast for tomorrow is pretty bad, so the Committee have sadly decided that we have to postpone our exhibition from tomorrow to Saturday 14th June. 

Demonstration by Daren Mason 4.6.25

 Daren Mason gave us a very entertaining demonstration of how he enables the people who attend his classes to create an expressive and personal portrait of a bird or animal. Using a lion as an example, he demonstrated some methods new to many of us.

Demonstration by Sharon Hurst 7.5.25

 Another inspiring and very enjoyable evening with artist Sharon Hurst last night at Virginia Water Community Centre. Sharon used the challenge of depicting the favourite flower of this time of year, bluebells, to show us a huge amount of watercolour techniques.

Demponstration by Kim Page 5th February 2025

 Kim Page gave us an excellent demonstration on Wednesday evening, using an image taken locally at Virginia Water lake to demonstrate how to convey recession with colour when painting with watercolours. Kim is running a workshop for us in October. Interested? Put your name down in case we have too many people hoping to come along. All-day Friday 10th October at Lyne Hall, cost £40.

Demonstration by Jo Harris 6.11.24 Virginia Water Art Society

Jo Harris demonstrated many techniques of drawing the human figure on Wednesday evening. She showed the effects to be achieved by taking your time, and by capturing the essence of the figure in a few bold marks. She demonstrated using negative spaces and highlights to guide your work. We had an enjoyable and instructive evening.

Demonstration by Judith Matthews 2nd October 2024

 Members who came to the demonstration this month were treated to a fascinating evening discovering how Hungarian-born artist Judit Matthews, a professional illustrator, used ink drawing, watercolour and collage in creating her fantastic and richly-detailed work. Her cards, coasters, children's books and calendars caused a buzz of excitement too! This was definitely one of the most original and entertaining demonstrations of the year.

Demonstration by Jan Gaska Demonstration 7th August 2024

 We enjoyed Jan Gaska's demonstration last night showing his technique with gouache in depicting a towpath scene near Marlow. Gouache isn't a medium we use often, so it was interesting to see
how it goes on. Many thanks to Jan for an intriguing evening
