Tue 14 Oct 25 at St Georges Church Hall, Bickley: Monthly Meeting Live Demonstration by by Mel Cambridge – Oil painting – further details later
Mel always painted since childhood and by the age of 14 was using oil colours. I love the buttery texture and tactile nature of oil paint, the way you can move it around, scrape off and keep inspiration flowing.
Her main artistic influences come from nature, particularly the English Coastline and the open Downland near to her home. Both places have such wide open spaces and big skies. Light, colour and atmosphere are inspirational – even an empty beach, if there are interesting cloud formations can be the starting point for a painting.
