Despite the rain and wind Virginia Water Art Society meeting saw quite a few members turning out to see the demonstration by Kim Page, the scene was of a street in Bath on a busy afternoon. Kim showed us how he paints figures in this scene, and how the shape and pose can denote gender as well as how to blend in people in a crowd, also how figures in the distance can be painted with just a suggestion of shape and form. using coloured pastel paper Kim went on to show how the colour of the paper can enhance the over all tone and by putting in the white using gouache at the final stages can give the painting lift and sparkle. We have always enjoyed Kim's demonstrations and he did not fail to give us an entertaining and very informative watercolour demonstration.
