Dunmow Art Group is excited to host a demonstration by acrylic artist Joe Charman in April. Joe will be demonstrating painting a rural landscape in acrylics at the Talberd Room, Foakes Hall, Great Dunmow, on Wednesday 16th April from 7.30pm to 9.30pm. Joe has been an artist all his life, always exploring a wide variety of subject matter and finding total fascination with the endless approaches to painting. He paints landscapes, seascapes, cityscapes, portraits, murals, and everything in between, predominantly with oils and acrylics. He is inspired to incorporate new techniques and perspectives as his painting journey continues. Over the years, requests for increasingly larger paintings has led to his ultimate love within art of painting "BIG"! Whatever the theme, he loves the painting process and feels a sense of total completeness when painting. Joe Says: “To me, a blank canvas represents limitless creative potential and makes me feel like a child on Christmas morning.” The painting demonstration costs £1 for members of Dunmow Art Group and £5 for non-members.

Tracey Ingram Wins Best in Show Dunmow Art Group held their Annual Spring Exhibition on the weekend of 15 – 16 March. Local artist, Tracey Ingram wins Dunmow Art Group’s Best in Show award for her acrylic artwork ‘Bench on Flitch Way’. Tracey says ‘I’m pleased and overwhelmed to have received this accolade. The artwork is one of my most popular artworks and prints of it always sell well. It was one of the first pieces I did. I saw the bench and took the photo in May 2019 while on a morning walk along the Flitch Way; the slightly rundown nature of it, overgrown with weeds captured my imagination. I finally managed to paint it in March 2020. Dunmow Art Group has been really supportive of my work, and I am pleased to be part of such a welcoming community.’ More of Tracey’s work can be found on her website http://tracey-ingram-artist.co.uk.
