Image March 5, 2015 karen

Kidderminster Art Society enjoyed an informative evening with Paul Hipkiss on 5 Feb 2015, demonstrating some of his printing techniques.

With a quick background and overprinting, Paul created this lovely print in just 20 minutes.

Here Paul makes his print on a press then with colour washes, completes the picture of the bridge, leaving the white railing, helping to define the contours as a contrast against the sky and trees.

A member of the RBSA, you can view more of Paul’s work here

6 Nov 2014 The Origins of Modern Art by Anthony Slinn

November 7, 2014 karen

There was an excellent turn-out for the talk by Anthony Slinn with many new members and guests in attendance. The talk was very informative and filled in some of those gaps about the progression of art from mid 19th to the early 20th century.

The talk focused on 5 well-known artists of the era and explored the development of their styles and the interaction between the artists of the day.

Huge thanks to Anthony for delivering a lively and insightful look at the lives of the artists and their work.

2 Oct 2014 – Demo by Chris Saunderson

October 2, 2014 karen

Kidderminster Art Society were treated to a demonstration by the well known artist Chris Saunderson this evening. His stunning painting of a cockerel tied in with this month’s theme of feathered friends. Chris used vibrant, flowing colours to create a powerful image in watercolour using a combination of Windsor and Newton Artists colours and Daniel Smith Watercolours on Langton rough paper.

Chris enjoys creating digital art on his tablet and he brought along some samples of his work to show the group. He was also kind enough to provide a list of his favourite apps for anyone wanting to have a go.

Below, some other work by Chris that he brought along to show us.
