Exciting New Programme  for 2012

David Cowell• demo Monday 13 February. David a digital artist/photographer will give us an insight into this growing ‘modern art’ form. He is a prominent UK digital artist whose work has received many acclaims and awards over the years. His work is essentially about colour and light and the changing atmospheric conditions of the SW. It’s well worth attending this demo even if you are not interested in taking up digital art yourselves, it’s an opportunity to at least be aware and appreciate the work that goes into David’s ‘paintings’ A small selection of his unique paintings can be seen at Kevin Cowell’s Gallery, Belgrave Rd, Torquay.

Maureen Fayle• Demo Monday 12 March & Workshop on Saturday 31 March. Maureen will illustrate her unique style of painting based on ‘Dartmoor Rocks and Boulders’. During the workshop she will guide us on how to be ‘bolder with Boulders’.          She works in acrylic and oil but encourages you to use your own medium if you prefer. She tries to convey the sense of being in a particular place in a particular light or season. Maureen is an award-winning artist at the Royal Bath & West Show, and exhibited at the SW Academy, Dartmoor Artists Exhibition. Her paintings can be seen at the Mayflower Gallery Tavistock & the Duchy Square Centre for Creativity, Princetown. She also sells well at Teignmouth Art Society where she is also Chair.

Susan Cavaliere• Demo Monday 16 April. Susan’s beautiful wax encaustic paintings and original cards are being demonstrated to introduce us to this very old art form. Now with modern tools and materials available it now takes on a contemporary feel. Her style is inspired by her love of Dartmoor, trees, woods, and dance movements with shapes, texture and flowing lines – light and shade.                                                      Always wanted to know how it works? Then come to this demo to find out more!

Mike Hindle • Demo Monday 8 October & workshop on Saturday 27 October.  Mike is a popular, prolific painter who exhibits throughout the SW, but mostly, in Cornwall. His style is usually atmospheric open scenes and painted on a very large scale. At the demonstration he will illustrate his love of the Impressionists and how they used complementary colours and various brush techniques. The demo is followed a few days later by Mike’s workshop where he will encourage us to create paintings that can ‘lift the spirit ‘ by using those same techniques. Mike is an experienced tutor who will inspire those lucky enough to gain a space on this workshop. A painting experience not to be missed!

Rob Dudley• Demo Monday 12 November. Rob works almost exclusively in watercolour,and is a popular local artist, he has demonstrated at Totnes before, a few years ago on the subject of Light on Dartmoor. This time he will return to paint an estuary using watercolour techniques to portray reflected light on water.He records the fleeting changes of light with both sketches and photographs, which he takes back to the studio to develop into more finished works.
