Even if you are not inspired to do your own Jackson Pollock I found the Picasso one an interesting demonstration of how Cubist paintings might be done.

It might be worth a look at the <a href="http://moma.org/" class="">MOMA.org</a> site which has some online courses too including a free online (partly practical) course on Abstract Expressionism that I have heard good things about and an unbelievable online resource of the 10,000s of works in their collection. .</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The British Surrealists at the Dulwich Picture Gallery is now on general release here: <a href="https://www.dulwichpicturegallery.org.uk/whats-on/digital-events/2020/july/british-surrealism-virtual-exhibition/" class="">https://www.dulwichpicturegallery.org.uk/whats-on/digital-events/2020/july/british-surrealism-virtual-exhibition/</a> </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Deborah</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""><div class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">Begin forwarded message:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;" class=""><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif;" class=""><b class="">From: </b></span><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">"<a href="mailto:exhibitions@bromleyartsociety.org.uk" class="">exhibitions@bromleyartsociety.org.uk</a>" <<a href="mailto:exhibitions@bromleyartsociety.org.uk" class="">exhibitions@bromleyartsociety.org.uk</a>><br class=""></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;" class=""><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif;" class=""><b class="">Subject: </b></span><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class=""><b class="">[Newsletter] Latest Virtual exhibitions and demonstrations</b><br class=""></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;" class=""><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif;" class=""><b class="">Date: </b></span><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">27 July 2020 at 17:33:03 BST<br class=""></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;" class=""><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif;" class=""><b class="">To: </b></span><span style="font-family: -webkit-system-font, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="">"<a href="mailto:newsletter@bromleyartsociety.org.uk" class="">newsletter@bromleyartsociety.org.uk</a>" <<a href="mailto:newsletter@Bromleyartsociety.org.uk" class="">newsletter@Bromleyartsociety.org.uk</a>><br class=""></span></div><br class=""><div class="">***<br class="">*** From Bromley Art Society - See<br class="">*** <a href="http://www.bromleyartsociety.org.uk/newsletter" class="">www.bromleyartsociety.org.uk/newsletter</a><br class="">***<br class=""><br class=""><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" class=""><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class=""><div class="">Hi All</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Another, personal, set of recommended links to online galleries and collections that you may find interesting. But before that. Your committee has been investigating further online demonstrations following the recent successful experimental Zoom demo. If the WiFi Gods are smiling we are hoping that we will be able to hold at least one unscheduled August meet up but have you seen any Artists doing online demo’ s that BAS members might be interested in? Are you able to do one yourself? If you have any thoughts please email us and we can pass the information onto Paul Stringfellow who is leading the charge. But the links….</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><b class="">Trees</b></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Not the Among the Trees at the Hayward Gallery - though there is a short virtual exhibition to be found of that - but from an Urban Tree Festival earlier this year. I thought this 10 minute demo of drawing an ancient oak was definitely worth watching. There is also a demo of how to make oak gall ink further down the page if anyone is feeling adventurous. And if anyone does make some. Can I have some please! <a href="https://urbantreefestival.org/drawing-demonstration-of-an-ancient-oak-tree" class="">https://urbantreefestival.org/drawing-demonstration-of-an-ancient-oak-tree</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The same site has a number of other interesting links including this one that may be of interest as lockdown eases. Hopefully you will have better luck than me - it recommends a stroll from my house along the South Circular so maybe not my top choice. But its a good idea: <a href="https://urbantreefestival.org/treetalk-dailywalk-generator" class="">https://urbantreefestival.org/treetalk-dailywalk-generator</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><b class="">Collage amongst other things. </b></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">This website really ought to come with a health warning not to start browsing if you are meant to be going somewhere later. You may have seen coverage of the ArtUK site - <a href="https://artuk.org/" class="">https://artuk.org/</a> apparently it is the online home of UK public Art Collections. They recently launched the ability to build and publish your own galleries. I was particularly inspired by Phil Jupitus’s collection of 50 works including collage <a href="https://artuk.org/discover/curations/rearranging-imagery-phill-jupitus-looks-at-collage-in-the-art-uk-collection/view_as/grid/search/keyword:collage/page/1" class="">https://artuk.org/discover/curations/rearranging-imagery-phill-jupitus-looks-at-collage-in-the-art-uk-collection/view_as/grid/search/keyword:collage/page/1</a>. and in total contrast this collection of works that would have gone on display in Norwich has some lovely delicate watercolours of the Broads <a href="https://artuk.org/discover/curations/where-land-and-water-meet-norfolks-rivers-streams-brooks-and-broads/view_as/grid/search/keyword:norfolk-975940/page/1" class="">https://artuk.org/discover/curations/where-land-and-water-meet-norfolks-rivers-streams-brooks-and-broads/view_as/grid/search/keyword:norfolk-975940/page/1</a>. But you dont have to be famous or a museum curator to create a Curation. Has anyone created one? Would they like to share?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I would also recommend searching for Bromley. Obviously there are other places and people called Bromley but there are some interesting local scenes. Would there be any interest in BAS replicating Stephen Chaplin’s project to document Bromley? though possibly without the equivalent to Death of My Uncle, Welling - which is an unusual tale to say the least.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><b class="">Exhibitions, Exhibitions, Exhibitions</b></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">While more and more galleries are re-opening I am not sure I am up for socially distanced gallery going just yet. So here are some virtual ones I have found recently: </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">First one of the most impressive. This would probably have been one of the great Summer blockbusters: Van Eyck An Optical revolution, apparently the largest van Eyck exhibition ever. <a href="https://virtualtour.vaneyck2020.be/en/adults/" class="">https://virtualtour.vaneyck2020.be/en/adults/</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">People I know who visited the Picasso and Paper exhibition at the RA thought it was great. This is now available as a film here <a href="https://www.royalacademy.org.uk/article/picasso-and-paper-virtual-exhibition-tour" class="">https://www.royalacademy.org.uk/article/picasso-and-paper-virtual-exhibition-tour</a>. Its a very different and less high tech take on virtual gallery going but actually rather easier to use. Just keep your finger poised over the pause button and while it mercifully doesn’t have a voiceover it does have music that I found really irritating so you may want to also keep your finger on the mute button too!</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">If you are a friend of the Dulwich Picture Gallery you will recently have been sent a link for virtual gallery visit to the British Surrealism exhibition. It says that members are seeing it first and it is obviously far too professionally done to only be available to friends. So might be worth keeping an eye out for that one becoming available more widely. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The Mall Gallery is one of my favourite places to go. They have been putting on online only exhibitions recently - the current ones being the Figurative Art Fair and Award Winning Artists 2019-20 - though here is a good place to start as it appears to have past exhibitions as well <a href="https://www.mallgalleries.org.uk/buy-art" class="">https://www.mallgalleries.org.uk/buy-art</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">And a couple of new ones from the Courtauld (apart from the usual virtual gallery visit) - They have just released the first of 11 short films about works in the collection (Cezanne Still life this week) <a href="https://courtauld.ac.uk/in-detail-film-series" class="">https://courtauld.ac.uk/in-detail-film-series</a> and an exhibition designed to be seen virtually <a href="https://unquietmoments.courtauld.ac.uk/" class="">https://unquietmoments.courtauld.ac.uk/</a> - and if you are looking at this on a laptop or desktop - don’t think the video at the top is it - the exhibition is further down the page</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><b class="">iPlayer</b></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Don't forget the humble BBC iPlayer which has been showing a number of old Art series, some of these are also on TV but in the early hours. I am going to pretend I didn’t see the Bob Ross episodes, not being a fan - I said to some friends recently surely they must have asked other people to teach art in the past and they reminded me of Nancy Kominski…. But on my rather elderly TV - red button to go to Iplayer, go to Categories, chose Arts and scroll down to the bottom to A-Z. Current programmes we’ve enjoyed - A History of Art in 3 Colours, the Rembrandt episode of the Museums in Quarantine series and a wealth of other documentaries - Beardsley, Rosetti, Titan, Still Life, etc. You will also find some older programmes from the days when Art came in black and white, Culture came with a capital C and everyone spoke RP. There is also the pose cam from the Life Drawing Life session a few months back.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><b class="">Instagram @isolationartschool and others</b></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Like Art UK this is another place that one can disappear for hours. Sadly the @isolationartschool posts have dried up as lockdown has eased but there is still loads to explore -a couple of personal favourites Amy Dury’s mixed media portraits <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tv/B-hIRozlHlf/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link" class="">https://www.instagram.com/tv/B-hIRozlHlf/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link</a>, and <font color="#262626" class=""><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class="">Clare Woods mono printing<font face="-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Segoe UI, Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;" class=""> </font></span></font><a href="https://www.instagram.com/tv/B-uPNzPF-66/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link" class="">https://www.instagram.com/tv/B-uPNzPF-66/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link</a> and finally an Artist who I found through the isolationartschool, Colin Davidson, also has a number of colour mixing demos for the oil painters amongst us <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tv/B_c2RKcl3N4/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link" class="">https://www.instagram.com/tv/B_c2RKcl3N4/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Hope you find something to inspire you and let us know if you have other links (or demonstrators) you think BAS members would like to see, </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Deborah Masters</div></div>_______________________________________________<br class="">newsletter mailing list<br class=""><a href="mailto:newsletter@bromleyartsociety.org.uk" class="">newsletter@bromleyartsociety.org.uk</a><br class=""><a href="http://bromleyartsociety.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/newsletter_bromleyartsociety.org.uk" class="">http://bromleyartsociety.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/newsletter_bromleyartsociety.org.uk</a><br class=""></div></blockquote></div><br class=""></div></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote></div><br class=""></body></html>
