DEMONSTRATIONS
He took us through his technique of starting with a sketch, then ruling some non-parallel straight lines. Then he worked through paying attention to the individual lines and shapes, simplifying some areas, moving some line slightly and began to fragment the image.
When he was happy with the composition he then proceeded to painting some shapes, and collage other. While there was not enough time to finish the artwork it was an extremely effective and enthralling way to teach the fundamentals of his craft.
It was a very calming process to watch leading several members intending to have a try at this technique.
In April Andy Dice Davies gave us a talk on street art focusing on the Cheltenham Paint Festival in particular. This was a very interesting talk fom the beginning of the festival to the current situation with the problems in funding.
NEXT DEMONSTRATION
Will be in September as we take a break for the summer.

EXHIBITIONS IN 2023
Lower Slaughter
We had an exhibition at Lower Slaughter in September.
Bourton on the Water
We had a 3 days exhibition at the Victoria Hall in the heart of Bourton on the Water in August.
Hidcote
Our 5 week exhibition (Saturday 3rd June – Sunday 9th July 2023) at Hidcote Manor this year to celebrate their 75th year with the National Trust, has flown past. It was a great success for us and the Manor.
All art that was exhibited, was inspired by Hidcote, this included the gardens at Hidcote Manor, the Manor itself, the creator Lawrence Johnston, Hidcote village, the history of the gardens, the farms, the surounding cotswold landscape and nature, so it was really interesting to see how different artists interpreted this theme
Visit the Hidcote Manor Exhibition 2023 Page to see some of the work that was included.
