SAA It's All About Art Trip on 23rd July

HELEN DAVIES organised a grand day out to the SAA's It's All About Art show





Demonstrators performed throughout the day. Mary Maskell loved Mitch Waite's scenes of Provence.











Hashim Akib wowed the crowds with his vivid paintings.








Marilyn Aliss's husband Colin recognised Di's Totton Art Society T-shirt and remembered that they will be coming to Totton for the September demonstration. Next Wednesday's TAS demonstrator Roy Lang was there painting wonderful seascapes.
There was even a Winsor & Newton demonstration on making sable brushes






Audrey Sharrar found Geoff Kersey to be worth watching.

The SAA team offered to take a group picture at the end of the day and they noted our comments. Look out for it in a future issue of PAINT magazine!

David White Demonstration in May

Professional artist David White gave a brilliant demonstration on how to go about painting dogs using acrylics. He demonstrated both a black and a brown newfoundland, showing how he achieved a striking animal portrait.

The advice flowed freely and finally he encouraged everyone not to give up, but to keep trying to paint.

Since he is so busy with commissions these days, we were very fortunate to have him with us again this year.
