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

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

Demonstration by Paul Oakley Landscape in oil 3.4.24

 Paul Oakley's demonstration last night proved very popular and San Gimingiano's towers emerged from the landscape as if by magic! Thank you so much, Paul!

Demonstration by Roger Dellar 7/2/24

We enjoyed a very instructive and memorable demonstration from Roger Dellar last night, with Doug nobly posing yet again as artist's model. Rodney Kingston and Kim Page were in the audience, lovely to have them with us too, and we had a record turn-out (including three new members). Huge thank you to Doug, and to everyone who helped make this a great evening for the society, and of course to Roger himself.
