My local art group often have guest artists to give demonstrations of their specific media or style. I, myself was a guest demonstrator, showing the wet on wet oil painting technique, over a year ago. I loved the group so much that I joined.
Today we had an artist giving a talk and demonstration on composition, shade and colour using acrylics and pastels. The demonstration was concluded with a short step by step workshop.
You can see here a wide range of landscapes completed by some of the members. It's great to put our finished results in a line so we can see the difference in styles amongst ourselves.
Mood, pressure, type of brush and variety of colour mixes ensures that even though we follow the same guide, all paintings, whilst they have their similarities, will look different. So today, I've learned a few more tips about both art and teaching whilst enjoying the company of friends and colleagues who put together a rather tasty buffet.
