June Demonstration and Workshop Update
Did you know that sticks can be a great painting tool? Yes, it's true!
Demonstrator, Stephanie Mcfarlane, showed us this trick and how it can help us to 'paint loosely' and it was such fun. We used a variety of mediums including acrylics, watercolour, inks and pastels. The outcomes were very impressive. |
Today, Stephanie was also accepted as an 'ALM Life Member' for her 15 years of continuous service, both on the Committee and as President.
She will continue on the ALM team as a member of the Exhibition Committee. Vertical Divider

May Demonstration and Workshop Update
There was much to learn from our demonstrator, Jill Campbell, at the May workshop.
Creating a concertina artwork was fun and surprising! We discovered that we could create wonderful concertina style booklets by folding and cutting our artworks in a certain way to create an elongated, topsy-turvy book.
This technique is also a wonderful way to document holiday travels or to give as a personalised gift to someone special.

April Demonstration and Workshop Update
The April workshop offered great fun as we loaded paint to palette knife somewhat like icing a cake and vibrant colours were popping everywhere!
Marijke explained that she had only recently discovered the joy of using the palette knife and she showed us 4 or 5 of her paintings that detailed her progression during the past few months. Working in this way certainly adds a whole new dimension to painting with oils and acrylics.

March Demonstration and Workshop Update
We would all agree that we learnt a lot from our March demonstrator, Marlene Palagyi.
Below are some examples of the fun we had working with saturated paper and letting the colours run around the page to create their own magic!
Thank you Marlene for a fun and informative day of loose painting.
