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

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.”
