Subject: [BAS Newsletter] Art Matters 17th November A few online
 recommendations to get you started.
Message-ID: <093BF643-F9C9-43D7-BBE9-2839FFBF7A40@bromleyartsociety.org.uk>

Our next Art Matters Meeting is on Friday 17th November at 7pm. Paul will circulate the zoom details nearer the time. 

The theme is My Favourite art material or sketching/painting location. I am sure once again members will inspire us with their favourite brushes, secret sketching locations etc. The warning is that it  often leads to visiting the Jacksons website!  I thought I would start the ball rolling with some of my online recommendatlons. You may or may not already have come across them, and I have probably shared at least some of them before. But they are  all doable from the comfort of your armchair - depending how messy you are when drawing/painting. I have dabbled with all of them at some point? 

Regards

Deborah

Adebanji Alade - new course

First Adebanji Alade (who you may have seen on the One Show). This popped up today. We did his RA sketch club session earlier this year and found it really inspiring, so I have high hopes. I have no doubt signing up will eventually lead to a lot of later upselling of his paid for courses but you can always unfollow later if you want to and it is free.

RA Sketch Club

Talking of RA sketch club. There are still a few of them buried in the RA website here https://www.royalacademy.org.uk/articles/tag/saturday-sketch-club Also if you search their website for life drawing you will find some of their online life drawing sessions  - Search is top right hand corner of their website 


Winslow Art Center

This is a US based Art school that has a ridiculous number of free 1 hour long demonstrations (about a 100 of them) + free sessions of Artists talking about their work. So there is bound to be something of interest.  Most Artists are American but there are some British Artists too. You need to register on the website but I don't seem to have been bombarded with publcity emails since I have. 
I have also paid for access to some of the recordings of online demos, recently one by Sarah Spackman who is an English Artist based in Oxford!

The Big Draw

The OCA had the following short course as part of the Big Draw this year. It is still open and you may find it interesting if slightly unusual. Diana Ali who was one of the mentors on the Great British Painting Challenge is one of the tutors. I can also see the previous Big Draw course from 2019 - but that maybe as I am a student with them anyway.

For the oil Painters

I used to subscribe to Studiotalk delivered by this group a one hour painting demo on Tuesday mornings then available via Facebook for a week. It?s a monthly subscription that seems to have doubled to ?20 a month since I stopped and there is no free content. Martin Kinnear is definite marmite - you will either love him or hate him. He is very definite in his views and to my mind the associated Facebook group workships him to a positively unhealthy degree. BUT if you are starting out as an oil painter watching his demonstrations will  leave you with a very clear idea of how it should be done (per Martin) . The demos were usually in the style of a particular contemporary or classical artist (he workshops Turner and loves the Scottish Colourists). You will come away knowing how to do it, whether that is painting alla prima or by glazing. The studio oils piece that is included is worth taking a look at as a good basic introduction. I had just had enough...

Abstract and Acrylics

And finally if your interest is Abstract/Acrylic you may find Louise Fletcher?s online stuff interesting. A lot of it is paid for/not particularly cheap but there is a fair amount of free content on youtube etc. In the past at any rate she has done  a free online course every summer. I know a lot of people who have been really Inspired by this. Again there is a bit of a hard sell out the paid for content but the free stuff is definitely worth looking at and if you do decide to sign up it is only one month at a time I believe.

 7pm***
Message-ID: <1c038d0a-c5eb-42c9-8dec-45ec6b268f1f@bromleyartsociety.org.uk>

Dear members and friends,

As the Winter weather approaches Tomorrow is our annual Christmas get 
together at the Daylight Inn. With the kind help of some of our members 
we have laid on some "arty" collaborative Christmas entertainment, 
prizes and a buffet for you.

Doors will open at 7pm and the entertainment starts around 7:30pm.? As 
mentioned previously we ask that members each pay ?5.00 on the door to 
help cover the cost of the buffet, materials and prizes. Guests are 
again welcome for ?6.00 each at the door.

May I ask that you bring the correct money please. This will be 
collected by Mary when you are all settled at your tables.

The entertainment with finish around 8:30pm when the buffet will be open 
for you to mingle and socialise. The buffet will consist of sandwiches, 
traditional snack and sweet treats but you will need to purchase you 
drinks from the bar please. It will help if you have purchased your 
drinks before the entertainment commences to minimise trips to the bar 
during the entertainment. The evening will finish around 9:30pm.

This will be the last face to face meeting we will have until April next 
year so please come along if you can and join everyone in the seasonal 
festivity.

Looking forward to seeing you but if you are unable to make it the 
committee and I wish you a very Happy Christmas and New Year.

Kind regards,

Paul
