Works in Progress

Yesterday was spent working on our own projects.  Some were finishing off the work from Nicy Gayle's classes others something new or cutting mounts for shows.

On Monday 23rd September, please can you bring along your own artwork to work on/finish off. We are back to starting at the usual time of 1pm until 3pm. Please also remember to bring along your own mugs to make yourself a cuppa. Also… Debbie will be bringing her small mount cutter in as she has some mounts to cut. She will be happy to cut for you too, provided the maximum size is 56 cm or less and you have your own board. (Boards can be bigger to start with as Debbie can reduce the size before cutting the aperture.)

 

Interesting Insight with Edward Gildea

Many thanks to Edward Gildea for such an interesting and insightful talk this Evening.  We shall be looking at artworks in a very different light in future,  and try to spot the elephant in the painting. 

Week 3 with Nicky Gayle

We would like to say a huge thank you to Nicky Gayle for 3 weeks of challenging and informative sessions on abstract acrylics. 

For the final week we painted a view of some beach huts at the far edge of Frinton.

Dunmow Art Group would like to say a huge thank you to the late John Grimshaw's relative, Susan for kindly making a donation to our group for an award in his name. John loved painting horses and to honour John's memory, we have had a trophy engraved; this seemed a fitting choice. The trophy will be awarded to the winner of our annual competition (this year's theme is 'birds'). In future, this will be known as the John Grimshaw Award. The competition winner will look after the trophy for the year before passing it on to the next winner. 🏆
