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.

Christmas Party

Thanks to everyone who brought food and raffle prizes, thanks to Pat Scammell for the bumper raffle and most of all thanks to Helen Davies who provided an Art Quiz for the second year running, which was the main event of the evening. Superb questions Helen!

We saw Totton Art Society's spot on the BBC Children in Need local news. Bunny Austin made a very welcome appearance with Mary after a long absence and many Christmas greetings were exchanged. Thanks to all the members who made it such a good evening. Best wishes to everyone for 2010!
