Dee Cowell Demonstration 1.7.09

Today Dee Cowell was our demonstrator unlike other demonstrations where the artist paints a picture for us , Dee demonstrated the use of different mediums such as textured paste, additives for retarding the drying times of acrylics, additives for thickening and giving texture to acrylics and glazing mediums. She demonstrated how to use these mediums with various paints inks and pastels and how to combine the use of mediums and paints. The demonstration and information she gave use left us all with urge to go home and be creative with our paintings and to be more experimental.

Summer Exhibition 13.6.09

It's Saturday 13th June and we finally got to hold our summer exhibition on the green at Station Approach Virginia Water after a false start the Saturday before when we were rained off. Today has been glorious sunshine and the visitors have been out in force there were less exhibitors this year partly because of the re-scheduling of the event nevertheless we put on quite a good show. Considering the present economic climate we still managed to sell 16 paintings and many items of hand crafted jewellery and sales were in excess of £900 which was pleasing to the Society.
