Review of our latest workshops,Talks & Events.
Our last workshop on 22nd June was using Soft pastel with acrylic ink, run by Rick Holmes.
Rick is a very experienced artist and has won many awards for his work. He was very generous with his tips and tricks, some of which are listed below.
1. Mountboard primed with “Art Spectrum colourfix primer.” (paint a diagonal cross on the back first to prevent buckling)
2. Start with acrylic inks: Prussian blue, Magenta, red earth and yellow ochre. Use them neat or dilute with a roller or other weapon to create background interest. Dry before using pastels
3. Unison pastels recommended
4. Draw in basic shapes with white pastel pencil
5. Make cardboard gutter to fit on the easel under your board to collect dust
6. Cover work with Glassine paper to protect it. Don’t spray except to rework an area.
7. Clean pastels by putting each colour in a small box with couscous or ground rice and shake.
A little bit about our Society and our members…….

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.
