If you get the chance, make sure you don’t miss the KAS Annual exhibition at Kidderminster Library.
The exhibition was opened by the Mayor. She was very impressed with the standard of work on display.
KAS have been working all year trying different media and have held a number of workshops encouraging members to ‘have a go’ at something different to their usual style and medium. I think this idea has really got everyone thinking and helped expand on members’ skills and approach to mark-making. I thing that the variety of media on show at the exhibition bears testimony to this.

What a fantastic evening with Angela Gaughan! 
Angela is renowned for her wildlife paintings and brought copies of her book and some of her paintings to show us.
Angela showed us how she went about creating her paintings using acrylic washes built up in washes over a detailed Inktense drawing.
Even though Angela only had a couple of hours for her demo the result was amazing!
I am sure that those attending the demo learnt many valuable tips about working in acrylic.
To see more of Angela’s work visit her website here.
This month’s theme is- Painting in Oil and Acrylic. You can choose to paint in either medium for your subject.
