[BAS Newsletter] Forthcoming events including 1st Friday demo 3rd February and Art Matters - "Old Masters" Friday 17th February.

[Paul Stringfellow]

Dear Members,

Plans are well underway to offer you some great events for 2023 but here 
are the forthcoming events:

*1st Friday 3rd February 7pm - 9pm.*

Whilst the weather is still cold we have organised a unique online Zoom 
demo by Paul Berryman - "an accurate figure drawing from life using 
charcoal".

Paul will take us through his quick figure drawing practice, giving his 
tried and trusted tips for accuracy, proportions and time-management. 
He’ll be working on some live drawings (from photos which he’ll share so 
we can see the source he’s working from) and show us how he develops 
drawings of different durations. Also he’ll run through his full 
charcoal inventory which he assures me does a lot more than just make 
black lines!

*Art Matters - "Old Masters" **Online Friday 17th February 7pm - 8pm

A note from Deborah. .."I thought we would go with Art Works inspired by 
two very different figure based Old Master paintings

Option 1 Portrait of Omai - I guess we are likely to hear more about 
this painting as the NPG tries to raise the funds to keep him in the 
country -

Or Option 2 The Merode Altarpiece. Discovered in a book about the 
history and meaning of Triptychs


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%A9rode_Altarpiece#/media/File:Annunciation_Triptych_(Merode_Altarpiece)_MET_DP273206.jpg

So we challenge you to create an art work inspired by the paintings -

It could be a study of one of the figures?  A modern reinterpretation? A 
collage?  Triptychs are fun to make and can be as simple as card and 
masking tape or even folded card.
As usual you are very welcome to come along on the night even if you 
haven't done your homework! But I hope that you will feel inspired to 
try something out…

Deborah".

PS If any one is really struggling with downloading the images then let 
Deborah or myself know and we I can email them to you.

*Save the date for our AGM & 1st Friday 3rd March 7.30pm - 9.30pm 
Daylight Inn followed by a live demo.*

In March we return to our live venue events and start with the Societies 
AGM where we will proposing to tweak a couple of our constitution rules 
to help us keep up to date with today's requirements. I am excited to 
say that we hope to have Zsuzsanna back from Budapest to give us one of 
her lively demonstrations in the second part of the evening. Details to 
follow shortly.
