<p><b>Dear Members and colleagues,</b></p>
<p><b>1st Friday Demonstration<br>
</b></p>
<p>I am please to announce that this Friday 1st March 7pm Les Darlow
will be providing us with an online exclusive demonstration for
Bromley Art Society. Les will be demonstrating his pan pastel
techniques whilst creating one of his favourite atmospheric
landscape scenes. Les works quickly so there may well be time for
one or two of his works in a lively demonstration. It will be your
chance to see his unique techniques and ask questions and learn
from him directly.</p>
<p>Please visit his webpage at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://lesdarlow.com/">https://lesdarlow.com/</a></p>
<p>Zoom link to follow but the demonstration will start promptly at
7pm. Whereas we normally have a two hour demonstration we will
try and keep it down to just one and a half hours, with a comfort
break, as a shorter time frame seems to suit people.</p>
<p>Please put it in your diary and come and join us on the night
from the comfort of your own home. <br>
</p>
<p><b>Back to live events in April with our AGM</b><br>
</p>
<p>The following month we will be meeting back live at the Daylight
Inn, Pett's Wood, on Friday 5th April and will commence with our
AGM followed by a demo on the night by our own Zsuszanna Pataki.
This year, more than in any previous years as you will soon learn,
your society is more than ever depending on you collectively to
help keep us going.<br>
</p>
<p>Kind Regards,</p>
<p>Paul<br>
</p>
<p>From Les's website....<br>

<strong>"</strong>I love painting skies and think they are the key
to a great landscape. I have a fascination for storms and extreme
weather, whether that is a sunrise at -20 degrees in winter, a snow
storm, a stunning sunset or a growing supercell in the height of
summer, these are the key elements to my painting. I really am
intrigued by skies and have studied them in some detail having gone
to great lengths studying a little meteorology and taking to the sky
in a light aircraft to get even more information about their
three dimensional depth. Clouds are constantly growing, dissipating,
moving and changing colour and this understanding helps me paint
them more authentically".
