Exhibition 2024
We held a successful exhibition at the end of July where we sold 55 paintings, along with over 80 original greeting cards. Visitor numbers were also up on last year so thanks to everyone who helped organise the exhibition, all the members who submitted paintings and all our visitors many of whom purchased original works of art.
Below are some photos from the Exhibition:
'Medusa' by Joanna Westwater
Tuesday 28thMay - Sheena Philips - 'Big Skies'
Sheena gave members another inspiring watercolour demonstration, working from a photograph to produce a brilliant landscape painting in a very short period of time! She used a limited palette and many watercolour techniques in the process. We were all enthused by the lovely watercolour that Sheena painted in such a short time. Many thanks to Sheena.
Update from Sheena:
Sheena has now finished the painting she started at the meeting and has shared it with us below.
Sheena is donating the painting to a charity art sale in North Berwick to raise money for Brain Tumour Research through the Brain Power fund set up by the BBC presenter Glenn Campbell who is himself being treated. The exhibition is on 16/17th August at St Andrew Blackadder Church, North Berwick where he lives.
Finished painting
Corstorphine Dower House Exhibition
Another exhibition we have running at the moment is in the Corstorphine Dower House cafe where you can also get a lovely cup of coffee in comfort while you check out our paintings (which are all for sale). Our exhibition is in the Davis Room upstairs in the Dower House.
This exhibition was refreshed with new paintings in Novemver, so please make sure to visit it again.
We meet in St Ninian's Church Hall, entry from the car park at the rear of the church, off St Ninian's Road, EH12 8AP on the last Tuesday of the month. Our meetings start at 7pm with a practical demonstration, each topic planned to show the use of a variety of techniques and using different media by an accomplished artist. On two meetings per syllabus, members can bring one or two paintings, either part or fully completed, for a critical assessment by a professional artist. Advice will be given on mounting, framing and overall presentation. These evenings are very popular and are very informative for all present. Also, on one of these evenings, our members choose the Poster painting for the Annual Exhibition. Visitors are welcome for a fee of £5.
