We enjoyed a highly enjoyable and instructive day yesterday with Ian Mckillop Artist drawing various groups of challenging objects and having a go at portraits of each other. Some very good work was produced and we had great fun.

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

Max Hale Workshop 6-4-24 Painting with palette knife in oil or acrylic
Interesting learning about using a painting knife with either acrylics or oils from Max Hale at the workshop with Max Hale on Saturday. Spending the day with a professional artist is one of the best ways to learn having individual attention throughout the day, sharing the learning experience with other artists of varying abilities in such a lovely setting gives much enjoyment and improves the skills
Thank you Max
