Stuart once again shared his knowledge and experience with a presentation on perspective, shadows and reflections. Following on from his previous session on perspective - Stuart explained how to get shadows drawn accurately depending on the angle of the light .
Friday and Saturday 21st and 22nd March SAG was at Oddfellows in Stafford for our Spring Exhibition. This is a wonderful opportunity to exhibit work produced by SAG artists , and also offer work for sale. This year we have included artwork donated to be sold in aid of our chosen charity- Cancer Research.
SAG once again welcomed back Doug Blanks to share some more insight into painting with oils. Doug works mostly in oils - finding it the best medium to paint in his chosen style, recreating the painting style of the 'old masters' like Rembrant.
Our much awaited second session for Alcohol Inks took place on Saturday March 1st. And what a day!! The small hall at Littleworth was at capacity with over 20 attendees, which included a few non-members, plus members who hadn't been able to attend the first session.
Just half an hour's drive away is Walsall Art Gallery, where the Walsall Society of Artists are currently exhibiting their work. This is their 74th Annual Exhibition. We were visited recently by one of their members , and soon to be Chair, Steve Woodhams (who did a demo on his Cubist Style ).
