Dear All

Good to see everyone last week and see the interpretations of Meeting/Spring in the Garden as well as the start of a lively discussion on Plein Air painting. If anyone would like me to post their works to the website please email them to mailto:exhibitions at bromleyartsociety.org.uk <mailto:exhibitions at bromleyartsociety.org.uk>

Please note there is no Art Matters Meeting on Good Friday, the Friday following will be a demo evening and we will be back on 16th April with the challenge below:

If you saw last week?s Grayson Perry?s Art Club you will have seen Phillippa Perry painting a set of tiles based on images of work in Art History. So I though why not our own Art History challenge. I suggest that over the next couple of weeks you create something inspired by Art History. This can be a modern day interpretation of an old master - Beckenham Place park as seen by Turner? Le D?jeuner sur l?herbe as a 2021 socially distanced picnic?  Your own cubist still life? (Corey D?Augustine?s YouTube video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGZYfSzvPvs <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGZYfSzvPvs> is a good introduction to how to) Alternatively it can be really interesting to get under the skin of a work you like by making a copy. The choice is yours.

If you are looking for inspiration the ArtUK website is a good start and I have found the National Galley allows you to download reasonable quality images (I leave it to you to decide whether to succumb to making a donation for doing so). 

As usual any media is valid. 

Look forward to seeing your entries. 

Deborah

Subject: [BAS Newsletter] BAS Demonstration Friday 9th April - change of
 demonstrator.
Message-ID: <b29f2757-0d15-9a20-aad9-6a9691f7e47a@bromleyartsociety.org.uk>

Dear All,

*Change to our Scheduled Demonstration Friday 9th April & Reminder for 
our Art Matters Art History challenge Friday 12th April.*

It is with regret that we have decided to postpone Richard Waldron's 
demonstration for this Friday 9th April? due to his continuing poor 
health. He is still recovering from his bout of Covid and at times 
continues to struggle with long Covid symptoms. We have therefore agreed 
that it would be better for Richard to conduct a live demo later in the 
year when hopefully we can all meet up in person again. A am glad to say 
he still an active member and participates occasionally in our Zoom 
meetings.

Luckily we have been able to secure a *Martin Ireland* to replace 
Richard at very short notice. His demonstration theme will be the male 
figure swimming.

Martin is a local Artist. He gained a BA Hon's in 1987 and has exhibited 
in many galleries across London including the Mall Galleries and the 
Strand. He has an impressive record of solo exhibitions, contributed to 
prestigious publications and has his own public collection at the 
National Maritime Museum Liverpool.

He says of his working methods "I start to develop idea from photographs 
and drawings, then work them into, developing and massaging a story into 
the fabric of the image. I don't know exactly how my paintings are going 
to end up like as the development takes over the process."

Martin has been fascinated by the male figure for many years. He paints 
in the traditional way of Oil on canvas. He prefers oils and finds the 
medium sympathetic to the way he works. He often changes the composition 
during the process of paining the figure as the relationship between 
sitter develops and unravels.? The figure is a wonderful subject to draw 
and paint. Painting from life have given Martin an opportunity to 
capture something about them, including intimacy and sexual energy. For 
Martin, drawing and painting is as much about him as it is the model. 
Over the past few years, Martin has been focussed on people who have 
fled their countries seeking safety in the UK. Painting is about 
searching for some sort of order and a response to the world which is 
chaotic. He usually paint single figures which are introspective, 
reflective and revealing. Aerial views of figures are something that 
Martin has been focussing over the past 20 years. It?s still an untapped 
compositional device that he keeps returning to. He paints figures 
because there is a tension, a poise and balance in the human body.

Please join us in what promises to be an interesting but relaxed 
demonstration.

Zoom invitation is at the foot of this email. Non member attendees will 
be ask to join the society.

*Reminder Art Matters 16th April *

Deborah suggest that over the next couple of weeks you create something 
inspired by Art History. This can be a modern day interpretation of an 
old master - Beckenham Place park as seen by Turner? Le D?jeuner sur 
l?herbe as a 2021 socially distanced picnic?? Your own cubist still 
life? (Corey D?Augustine?s YouTube video here 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGZYfSzvPvs 
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGZYfSzvPvs>?is a good introduction to 
how to) Alternatively it can be really interesting to get under the skin 
of a work you like by making a copy. The choice is yours.

Hi All

Don?t forget tomorrow?s Art History Challenge meeting tomorrow at 7pm. Zoom details below 

We asked you to create something inspired by Art History - either a piece that reworks an existing painting or a copy. I have seen 3 so far in very v very different styles? Look forward to seeing some more tomorrow. So come along and share your masterpieces or discuss your thoughts about the process. 

If you would like to look at an update from last Friday?s demo from Martin Ireland you will find this on our website under the First Friday tab - you?ll need to scroll down a bit as it is in chronological order. https://www.bromleyartsociety.org.uk/first-friday-of-the-month-meeting/2021-programme/ <https://www.bromleyartsociety.org.uk/first-friday-of-the-month-meeting/2021-programme/>
You will also find a link to the documentary about the painter James Morrison that Martin mentioned (it is also still on  BBC iPlayer - its called In the Eye of the Storm).

*Dear All,*

Cast Shadow? Form Shadow? Chiaroscuro? What does it mean? How can you 
represent it?

*Tomorrow 23rd April*

This week's topic is "Shadows". No special preparation is necessary as 
it's a chance to share your perception, experience and knowledge of the 
concept and relative importance of shadows in your work.

*Friday 30th April*

To give people a chance for our next Art Matters we are suggesting 
"Childhood Toys" as our next practical subject. This follows the 
Inspiration by Grayson and Alan Measles but any creative variations are 
welcome. - We even know people who make paintings?by painting the 
feet/wheels or clockwork toys and setting?them loose to create innocent 
untamed marks.

*Friday 7th May*

The is our next first Friday demonstration by Tim Wilmot.? Details to 
follow next week but we will be asking for you to send in your favourite 
landscape photo taken by yourself or another member of your family.

Hope to see you tomorrow evening.

Kind regards,
Deborah and Paul

It is with great sadness that I inform members of the death of Pat 
Tucker in the last few days.

Pat was a professional artist and one of my predecessors as Chairman of 
BAS. Her painting 'Rigging on HMS Victory' sticks in my mind for its 
detail. She was a lively speaker and always had a kind word for new 
members and new artists. Two of her written contributions for the 
Society are still on our old website and give an indication of her 
vitality and contributions to BAS.
