Welcome to the Cotswold Art Club
Membership is open to all artists both amateur and professional. The club gives support and encouragement to its members with a number of activities.
DEMONSTRATIONS
In September, David Wilcox came to show us how he paints figures in watercolour. He provided us with an entertaining and informative demonstration. Using a very limited palette he demonstrated how to build the figure by painting the shadows and background, leaving the white of the paper to shine through.
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.
