Unfortunately, due to ill-health Brian Steventon was unable to come and do the demonstration. However, our very own Shelley Waring stepped into the breach and continuing the theme of ‘Townscapes’ did a demo for the members. Many thanks Shelley!!

3 July 2014 Demo by Sam Manley
This evening members of the Kidderminster Art Society were treated to a demonstration by Sam Manley, freelance illustrator and current chairman of Ludlow Art Society.
Sam specialises in digital art using Photoshop and has worked on many projects including the Dr Who card game and illustrations for Gun Metal Games and Fantasy Flight Games.
Sam began with a rough digital sketch and showed us how he developed it from a basic tonal image to a full colour illustration, working in layers and using the various tools available in the programme. Below you can see him at work.

19 June 2014 Social and BBQ
A lively and enjoyable evening was had by all with nearly 50 people attending the Social and BBQ evening on 19 June 2014. An art quiz put together by Dave Worn tested the knowledge of the guests. Bottles of wine etc are to be awarded to the winners (to be announced at the next meeting).
Many thanks go to the team who organised the BBQ and buffet who did an outstanding job of catering for everyone !
5th July Demo Night
A huge thanks to Norman Rossiter who came all the way from Spalding, Lincolnshire to entertain the Kidderminster Art Society and demonstrate Derwent’s Inktense Pencils and Blocks.
He gave us a fascinating insight into the different ways this medium can be used to create beautiful wildlife and landscape pictures.
Norman particularly likes using Inktense when out sketching as it does not smudge and once water is added, it becomes permanent.
The Blocks feel much like oil pastels and can be used on their sides to
make broad marks or on the edge for finer detail. This can be complimented with the Inktense pencils to give a wide range of marks. When water is added the colours become very vibrant and can be mixed together on the paper. To see more of Norman’s work visit his website here
5th July Inktense Demo
On Thursday 5th July 2014, we look forward to welcoming Norman Rossiter who will be demonstrating Derwent’s Inktense range.
Look back here for write-up and review later in the week!
Remember the non-members are welcome to attend. Entry will be £5 which includes refershments.
Spring Trophy 24 April
A great evening was had by all who attended the Kidderminster Art Society Social evening and Spring Trophy Award tonight.
Many thanks go to those who provided the buffet and drinks and to all those who put a painting in for the Spring Trophy Award.
The worthy winner was
Lesley Connolly.
David Spurrier and Pam French were the runners up.
Everyone who attended the evening had an opportunity to vote for their 3 favourite paintings; but it was by no means an easy task to choose, as there was so much talent on show!

Work Night 17 April
Tonight the theme ‘A Social Event’ continued with members volunteering to sit for the rest of the class. It was probably the quietest work night I have ever attended, everyone was so intense, concentrating on the subject!
Special thanks to David, Colin and Ellie for sitting, hope you don’t ache too much tomorrow!
PS: If any members would like to send in their sketches from the evening to display here, please email to Karen Thanks!
