NEW CLASS!

INTERMEDIATE PAINTING

I’m now offering a new course at Westbury Arts Centre, MK – for those who have been painting a little while but who’d like to develop their skills a bit further.

This will be a small group of no more than six, allowing for plenty of individual attention when it’s needed. The aim is to offer opportunities to try different approaches and ideas, taking inspiration from well-known artists.

For further information and to book a place, please visit: https://www.westburyartscentre.org.uk/service-page/intermediate-painting-all-media

You are invited to an Exhibition…

I am having a solo exhibtion of some of my work at The Eagle Gallery, Bedford, eaglegalleryartists in March. ENTRY FREE. I would be delighted if you could come along and have a look!

The exhibition features works in oils, pastels, ink and watercolours that have all been made with the person there, in front of the artist. Some are portraits that show direct connection with the sitter and include significant objects that are meaningful to them, giving vital clues to their personality. Others are characters re-imagined from fairy tales, folklore and Shakespeare. Also included are nude figure studies from life.

Private View: Friday 1st March, Invitation only. Please get in touch if you would like to attend.

“Meet the Artist” Sat. 2nd March 10- 5.30pm. I shall be there all day and happy to show some of my sketchbooks and talk about my work.

Hope to see you there!

Jo.
