It was a successful Autumn of Art at Rowlands Castle. The November Exhibition was very successful . Attendance was up, sales were at a record high and visitors and members alike enjoyed the friendly atmosphere. Members have also been hard at work at the Life Group sessions and the workshops. Andy Kerr, led a special portrait workshop using paint and pastels. Painting hands is always tricky to get right and regular visitor, Sharon Hurst gave many tips to get a realistic rendition in watercolour. Sue Cooper demonstrated painting an animal portrait, with some members following her model, others applying themselves to painting their own pet. Detailed advice on how to paint eyes was especially useful as was a demonstration of a light box.
January 6th there is a workshop on Still Life in acrylics.
January 13th and January 27th are Life Group sessions.
January 23rd there is a workshop by professional Jo Silcock for an abstract coastal scene in acrylics.
