Review of our latest workshops.

May 13th Workshop – with Julie Dunster    En Plein Air Landscape in Oils
It was a fantastically sunny day at Delamore.  We collected around a shady tree looking towards the house with the iconic urn in the foreground.
Julie took us down the road of developing a tonal painting.  Firstly, in monochrome we learnt to recognise 5 tones.  She did a small demonstration of the view before we attempted to do the same.  This exercise was so crucial in identifying shade, shadows, and the depth of colour.
In the afternoon we applied the same principals when using colour, choosing a new vista with a very limited palette.  
Julie’s tips on painting en plein air and her information on tones was so helpful. An excellent day with a good tutor who was most encouraging.  Thank you Julie.

Comments left on the day… ‘Fantastic day, fantastic teacher. Lovely location’.   

‘Very informative structured day, enjoyed it very much!’  ‘Lovely day and learnt a lot about tones!’

June 3rd Workshop – with Dave Scott     Birds and Other Wildlife
The morning began with a ringing in our ears!  The fire alarm at the Community Centre was ringing as we opened the hall and proved to be a distraction to Dave and the artists for quite a long time until Terry, the caretaker, managed to turn it off!
However Dave managed to get things going with lots of information on the preparation of the boards he uses and his favourite paints and brushes. 

He used acrylic paint but stressed that he uses it in the same way as he would use water colour – very thin and diluted.  He had prepared the drawing of the head of a beautiful lion – gridding it up from an image.
Then the master started to demonstrate how he began the painting using small light strokes to build up the hair and details of the face.  Magically the beautiful image started to appear.

A little bit about our Society and our members…….

We are a group of enthusiastic artists who come together to take part in workshops, demonstrations and talks, as well as to exhibit and sell our works at our Annual Easter Exhibition. We also have three small groups who meet up to paint together, two groups at The Parish Room, Yealmpton and one group in The Revelstoke Room, The Village Hall, Noss Mayo.

The Society is committed to encouraging an interest in all genres of painting within the local community. We aim to include all abilities and would welcome new artists – both the young and the more mature, beginners and more experienced.
