On Thursday 11th April we are very lucky to have live models (of the feathered variety) to sketch and paint. Do come along and have a go! We will also have some feathers, a stuffed bird and reference pictures if you would rather draw something that doesn’t keep moving! Trimpley Village Hall, 7.15 pm. Feel free to bring friends and family along to join in.
A big thumbs up to Wolverley Animal Centre Centre based at the school! 18 KAS members attended the afternoon drawing session and everyone had a thoroughly enjoyable couple of hours drawing a variety of animals. Lucy and her team looked after us brilliantly and there was copious amounts of cakes, tea and coffee on offer. We enjoyed ourselves so much, we might just have to go back again!
What a great evening! Lesley’s dog Bruno was the star of the show and we had some great sketches of him. Some members brought in other work and there was a variety of other animals on the easels, including squirrels and wolves.
Thursday, 14 March, we have an animal drawing session and we will have a model dog to draw, courtesy of Lesley. We will also bring lots of reference material to study. So come along with your art stuff and have a go. There will be helping hands if you need some advice about how to go about drawing animals. Don’t forget to bring in a painting for the 6 week exhibition at the dentist. Make sure it is labelled with your name, title, medium and price if for sale.
Lovely evening yesterday with the members of KAS sharing our artwork done during February. Well done to Gill Parker and Shelley Waring coming joint 1st and Christine Sedman-Smith being the runner-up in the Public vote for favourite painting in our annual exhibition.

Great water colour demonstration by Rod Willis this evening. Rod did a view of Worcester Cathedral with mist on the river. Fantastic soft washes, capturing the atmosphere perfectly. I think we all learnt a few things! Thanks Rod for a very enjoyable couple of hours.

Two chances to draw from life with our models. 17th Jan will be the female form and 24th the male.
Update: Great turn-out for both events and some fantastic drawings done in charcoal, pencil, inks and pastels. Thanks to Rod for organising the evenings.
What a fun evening! Great buffet, skittles games and good company. Thanks to the committee putting it all together. Thanks to James Mc for the skittles and our compere extraordinaire.
Getting creative with scraper boards. Thanks Lesley and Dave for finding all the books, references, and materials, and Shelley for enlightening us with the results of some of her experiments.
