Paintings By Alma Hughes-Jones Winter Exhibition 2013

Virginia Water Art Society Wintere 2013 Exhibition

We were very lucky to have Peter Waddell Deputy Mayor of Runnymede come to visit the Exhibition this year and even more luck that Peter not only appreciates art but as a pass time likes to sketch and paint so his opinion on the best painting in the show was from an experienced eye.  Peter chose 6 personal favourites and one over all best in show painting which was a sketch of a Cyclamen by Wendy Trinder

We had a wonderful weekend with quite a few visitors we provided tea & cakes and received some lovely comments on the show and the standard of work. we sold 8 paintings and lots of crafts and felt the results were encouraging

John Pooler Demonstration street scene in watercolour 6.11.13

Virginia Water Art Society enjoyed the demonstration given by John Pooler this evening. John took us through the stages of his painting explaining as he went what colours, brushed and techniques he used. he painted two scenes and work on one whilst the other dried and then went back to the first one to finish it off and in this way allowed his first washes of colour to dry before applying a second layer.  As we have the camera he was able to work flat with quite wet washes of colour.  We welcomed members of Sunningdale Art Society which is due to close in December and visitors from East Molsey so we had quite a good size audience and thanks to the camera everyone was able to see very well.
