Meetings and Dates

What’s on at Muskham Art Group in 2012

Scroll down the page for dates of meetings.

At the Muskham Art Group the emphasis is on friendly sharing of interests and experience. We do all we can to make sure that there is an informative programme of events.  We meet every second and fourth Tuesday at 09:45am to 12:15pm in South Muskham village hall.

At some meetings we have demonstrations by visiting professional artists on various topics. In 2010 we booked Vic Bearcroft on 23rd March to show us how he uses pastels to produce a stunning American Indian. Mike Webster came on 22nd June to demonstrate how to paint a seascape in acrylics. We had our annual pilgrimage to Mike Webster’s house on 3rd September – great painting and yummy food. We always have good weather there too!  We had an all day workshop with Vic Bearcoft on 9th September which was booked because members enjoyed his demonstrations so much. On 23rd November Matthew Palmer came and give a demo on painting a winter scene using watercolours. He will be back in 2011 to give another demo or a workshop.

On January 20th 2011 Vic Bearcroft will be holding a workshop. We will be learning how to produce a tiger using velour paper and pastels. This is the workshop that was postponed from 2nd December. Those attending need to be ready to start painting at 10:00am so get there early so we can get ready in time!

Tas Severis is coming to give an acrylic workshop on 21st July 2011 from 10:00am to 4:00pm. Please bring a packed lunch. Tea and coffee will be provided.

Mike Webster will be giving an oil workshop on September 8th 2011 from 10:00am to 4:00pm. Again, tea and coffee is provided but please bring a packed lunch. This workshop is limited to a maximum of 15 so get you name down quick if you want to come!

On February 28th 2012 we have invited Lynn Norris to come and give us a demo for the first time. Hopefully, this will be the first of many.
