Life Drawing - A 'Presentation' by Don Meyer

13/6/2021

It seems that a 'Presentation' is what you have if you do NOT have the wherewithal, space (or expertise) to have a 'workshop'. So, on 12 June, we had a 'Presentation on Life Drawing .. Techniques and Tips', courtesy of Don Meyer. Lots and lots of drawings; lots of info; and hopefully of a bit of value to those who are 'new' to life drawing .. or have been 'out of it' for a while.
A 'full-house' dozen people to squeeze in .. it got a bit cramped for space - but overall it seemed a success ... (some nice people making nice comments).

A Spring Clean in Autumn

2/3/2021

Graham's studio door was open; Graham was in situ, beaming, as he announced that he had had a "bit of a tidy-up".
The photo here (with permission) is tendered for the archives. It is the 'post - tidy' photo (sadly 'pre-tidy' is now lost forever).

Hans Koppan Exhibition - Waikerie

25/2/2021

Slightly late advice but Arts North's stalwart oil painter Hans Koppan has an exhibition mounted up the road a bit - to wit, at the Rain Moth Gallery in Waikerie. Should you head that way, make the effort to have a look.
(Images above are as per the Rain Moth's Facebook page and are a touch 'small' in data size. A couple of images below show works Hans has in the Arts North studio at the moment.)

More 'Green Shoots' ...

24/2/2021

How very lovely (and how unexpected) to have Glynis reappear ... for Portrait Practice last Monday. Quite made the day!! Hope to see lots more of you, Glynis. WE have missed you.

2021 - Wecome you are - Off to a Great Start

6/2/2021

After a bit of a problem year (Covid19 in 2020), Life Drawing has got off to a great start in '21, welcoming FOUR new drawers, (new members) AND some new models! Expect a 'full house' over coming months ..
Hoping that some old members who might have 'distanced' themselves will check in again in the not too distant future (post vaccine?) - we miss you, of course.

Arts North's Kapunda Exhibition

22/10/2020

Arts North members held a exhibition at Kapunda Community Gallery in October 2020, showcasing a diverse range of subjects in a variety of media. Happily, three artists sold their artwork there: Robert Martin, Helen Turvey and Gerhard Ritter.

Janet Newton - "Come on Down"!

16/6/2020

Seems Janet Newton has been using Covid ISO time to good effect. Definitely not one for own-barrow-pushing, the work below had to find its way to this page via third parties.

It shows exemplary skill in botanical art (for Janet, a fairly new pursuit), painted in watercolour (it seems only a couple of years ago Janet first engaged with w/colour, too), done from real specimens from her garden during the autumn.

I am sure that all Arts North would join in saying to Janet "Well Done" (perhaps with a bit of envy?)
