GENIUS NIGHT
Fifteen members took part in the "Genius "
evening. Each of us took a painter or painting which had affected us and our
work in some way and then copied a painting by the artist. Some decided to base
their own picture on the style of the artist. We then spoke about the painting and what we learnt about it, the
artist and from our experience painting it.
Colin Osbourne was voted the best Genius by
all the other members. He did a painting of HMS Warrior and the Spinnaker Tower
Overall the exercise was excellent in teaching us techniques
and how the older painters used colour, lighting and tonal contrast as well as
wide variety of brush strokes in their work. We were all presented with a "Genius" Certificates - courtesy of Di to whom we are very much indebted for organising the competition and very successful evening. Thank you, Di!
