Bromley Art Society Bringing Artists Together since 1947

Here's the latest news from the Bromley Art Society.

Monthly Lecture

The Society's monthly "lecture" this month takes the form of a "Criticism Evening" from Allan Davies. Please join us on Friday 6th June, 8pm, Verrall Hall, United Reform Church, Widmore Road, Bromley. This is his sales pitch: "Members should bring no more than one piece each for criticism. I prefer pieces with which the artist is not happy so that I with others
may suggest strategies to 'save' the works.

Criticism of a piece of artwork centres upon looking for the good rather
than the bad. As both 'good' and 'bad' are subjective an evening of
criticism will involve the artist and everybody else present putting in their ha'penny worth.

To be a little more objective we will analyse how line, shape, form, texture, space and colour value works in a piece of artwork whatever the medium."

One of the first BAS meetings I went to was a similar evening, which I greatly enjoyed. I think Allan is rather brave to do this ... (Did someone mention Daniel and lions?)

Paint Along

The Ripley Wednesday painting sessions will be all day from JULY, starting at 10am. Come for the morning, afternoon or both! There will be further details in The Easel soon.

Web site news

There are now instructions for creating your own gallery on the website. There is also a link at the top of the Gallery page. Please have a go! We have some excellent entries already, but there must be more than 9 Artists in the society - that's not even a coven.
