Social evening at Virginia Water Art Society with Guest Artist Kim Page

 We enjoyed Kim Page’s wonderful appraisal and advice session last night as part of our Summer Social. Thanks to Kim for his thoughtful and encouraging response to members’ work, to Doug for the food, and to members who braved the weather to join us!

Demonstration By Sera Knight improving painting

 

We’re so pleased that Sera Knight was able to come and join us on Wednesday evening when she demonstrated her ways of looking again at pictures with which she was not very happy, and working to improve them. Absolutely fascinating, and at times very funny, the evening spoke to all of us who have ever discarded an “unsuccessful” painting. Thank you Sera

Virginia Water Art Society Display at Line Village Hall 14 June 2025

 Our display at Lyne Village Fair is looking good!

This year the Art Society had to postpone their display on the Station Approach Green in Virginia Water from 7th June due to possible rain and wind conditions so the event took place on 14th June which was also the day which had been booked to take part in Line Village Fair. Amazingly they managed to do both events well done everyone.

 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.
