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.

Tue 9 Sep – Monthly Meeting – Live Interactive Demonstration by Nishad Karim on Watercolour

Demonstration, Event, Monthly Meeting, Painting

Tuesday 9 September – St Georges Church Hall 19:30 – 21:30

Nishad is an established professional artist with many exhibitions to his credit and has produced online painting tutorials and demonstrations on several subjects and painting media.

“‘In painting landscapes with a loose but realistic style I attempt to convey to the viewer a sense of presence, enjoyment and ‘seeing’ a particular scene. Nature has its own way of creating the most beautiful patterns and sceneries and landscape painting for me evokes a sense of mystery, fragility and an understanding of the natural environment. The way form emerges from light and the effect light has on colour and mood is all quite intriguing.”

After art school, Frank began his long and distinguished career as an award winning art director in advertising, but watercolour landscape painting was never far away. He developed his YouTube teaching channel which today has thousands of followers. He also became the resident watercolour tutor at Kew Art Studio where he hosts ‘Art Club’ every Tuesday evening. Frank also holds regular Wednesday Zoom Watercolour Demos to a broad international painting community and three times a year he organises ‘en plein air’ painting retreats to Andalusia in April, Tuscany or Crete in June and the Côte d’Azur in October.  

Frank believes that his quick and expressive style of watercolour painting can be easily learned by everyone using his tried and tested techniques and methods.
