Mr John Collins addresses the group of Artists at the Ringwood Art Society
Ringwood Art Society
Over 70 local members and guests of the Ringwood Art Society crowded the room to enjoy a very successful interactive demonstration evening with Jill McKay on Gouache and mixed media.
Jill McKay commented “We had a lovely evening covering quite a variety of options and techniques. Looking at different mediums and combining these for effect is important for developing artists to understand Gouache and how they can use this media to create or enhance many of their paintings". The evening was videoed and projected to enable all members to enjoy the techniques demonstrated.
Pam Mason-Smith, Chairman of Ringwood Art Society announced the forthcoming painting holiday with Jill McKay in France, and John Collins rounded off the evening by thanking Jill for her interesting presentation, saying that he and many members now have many new ideas on the use of Gouache and are now inspired to give them a try.
Classes at the Art Trail Centre - Ferndown run most days and Tuesday evenings; with Watercolour workshops on Wednesday mornings and Acrylics on Friday afternoons.
