Keith Hornblower – Watercolour Townscapes

January 2025
9th – Demonstration by Graham Jefford of “Landscape in charcoal”.
This is a chance to see how charcoal can work to produce interesting landscapes, by one of our very talented Members.
23rd – Varvara Nieman demonstrating her approach to ‘Still Life’ in acrylic.
Do have a look at her website to gain an idea of her colourful approach to all subjects, and then come along to the demo to see how it’s done.
February 2025
13th – Creative evening – “Making your Mark” with Liz Boote helping us to realise that paint brushes are not the only tool for an artist.
22nd – Saturday workshop – Gary Spencer – acrylic and collage harbour scene.
27th – Peter Keegan demonstrating a garden landscape in oils.
For me this is a not to be missed session. Peter’s approach to all his work is very fluid with an influence of the ‘expressionists’ that lends colour and movement.
March 2025
13th – Creative evening of ‘Rapid Sketching’ with Liz Boote. All too often we take far too long to create a sketch or painting this is a chance to find out how effective a few lines created in a short time can be.
27th – Demonstration by Leila Ward of a Turneresque riverscape in watercolour.
Painting water is always a challenge so Leila’s demonstration will be very welcome, particularly as it will include reflections.
April 2025
10th – Creative evening ‘Blind Abstract’ in watercolour or acrylic, led by Lori North.
12th – Saturday workshop with Heather McDowell of ‘Landscape’ in acrylic.
Heather has very fluid style with acrylics, so do have a look at her website.
24th – Tushar Sabale demonstrates a figure group in oils.
A new name to our group, but one to look forward to. Again do have a look at his website to see his work which is quite amazing.
May 2025
8th – Creative evening – “Don’t Look Now” I won’t say anything else except bring a board, paper and pencils and have some fun.
22nd – DVD and Social before we all dash off on holidays.
