[BAS Newsletter] This Friday 7pm we return to our 1st Friday demonstrations - We have local artist Sarah Karen

[Paul Stringfellow]

Dear Members and friends,

After an exhausting, but tremendous six weeks exhibiting at the Glades, 
this week we return to our monthly 1st Friday demonstrations.  Updates 
regarding our exhibition(s) will be coming in a separate newsletter but 
we hope to have a post Glades get together for everyone involved in 
making it a success and a chance for new members to meet other members. 
It is likely to be on a Thursday evening in a central Bromley venue. 
There may be a few awards involved! *If you are interested in attending 
please let me know by responding to me at 
membership at bromleyartsociety.org.uk*

*Fridays Art Demonstration*

This week we have local artist Sarah Karen who some of you may have seen 
at the Warren a few weeks ago. She will be giving  an exclusive live 
demonstration in alcohol inks and later in the evening move onto a 
canvas demonstration.

Sarah's style of art is still very much evolving, but she has found her 
favourite medium to be oil paints, so you will find they feature a lot 
in her repertoire.  Sarah still experiments with other forms and 
mediums, alcohol inks being another favourite of hers and very very 
different from oils.

"I take my inspiration from my surroundings, trying to capture colours, 
movement and architecture of nature onto canvas.  You will often find me 
taking photographs of clouds, flowers, landscapes and seascapes on my 
daily walks in the beautiful Kent countryside with my dog and husband.  
I tend to stick with Impressionism as a style, which from time to time 
slips into realism, depending on what I am painting, but whatever I 
paint, I paint with my heart, capturing the emotion of the moment, 
enveloping you into the scene.  So whether its slightly moody and 
atmospheric or still and peaceful, it’s more than a painting, but an 
experience".

This will be held again at the Function room at the Daylight Inn, Pett's 
Wood, Station Square, Orpington,  BR5 1LZ. Doors will open at 7pm and 
the event will finish around 9:30pm. This is free to all members but 
members are most welcome to bring a guest for an additional £6.00 on the 
door.

*Online Art Matters*

On Friday 22nd September as summer draws to an end we are also 
recommencing our online Art Matters for those that like to join us from 
the comfort of their own home and not brave the elements. The theme is 
currenly "Three blind mice". As Paula Rego’s work showed, art based on 
Nursery rhymes can be sinister as well as joyful. We invite you to make 
Art that relates to nursery rhymes – not only Three blind mice. As 
before the idea is to chat about the subject and if you have an example 
to share on the night please do.

Kind Regards,

Paul
