Wow, what a buzz at the club last week, great to see so many of you joining in and and being inspired by Van Gogh’s styles and mark making (you can see a few examples below). Thanks to Colin & Jeremy for sharing their knowledge on the subject.

Framing advice
This week BRING SOME MONEY WITH YOU, as Janet is coming from Eastbourne with her cut mounts and reconditioned frames, together with supplies for framing and mounting your own work, and dispensing framing advice where required. I’m sure there will be plenty time as well to carry on with your own work – even continue with your own Van Goghs.

Bring and Buy
The following week there will be a Bring & Buy so you can sell unwanted art stuff there.
Don’t forget Marion has entry forms for the Horticultural Show art exhibition.

Next week (30th) will also be judging day for the monthly competition – Portrait, self or other. Get those entries finished.

Last week our 2 models seemed popular although the tattoos I found a bit distracting! Nice to have a female with a Rubinesque figure – sometime our female models are a bit on the skin and bone side – or perhaps that’s just me.

Paint in the style of
This week we’ll have a picture to analyse and then paint our own picture ‘in the style of’ the chosen artist. Should be interesting.

Seaford Horticultural Show
Marion has given me the entry criteria for the Seaford Horticultural Show on Saturday 5th August at Seaford Head School, Arundel Road.
-- Class Number 94 – A SUSSEX SCENE, Class Number 95 - Colour
Maximum picture size 18x14” or 23x19” if framed.
-- Paintings should be new to this competition and painted within the last 3 years.
-- Each entry is charged at 35p and must be accompanied by an entry form which you can get from Marion.
Put your name and address on the back of your painting. If you offer it for sale, tie a luggage label from the hanging cord so that the label can be hung over the front of the picture once judging has been completed. The Label should show, Name, Address, Telephone Number and Price. No commission is charged, however a voluntary donation to the Horticultural Society would be appreciated.

Don’t forget
This month’s club challenge – Portrait self or other.

I hope most of you have the new programme for the rest of the year. If you haven’t and can’t get to the meeting on Friday, don’t panic I’ll pop one in the post to you. Some items for the last 3 months of the year will have to be changed already – but I’ll let you have the new details nearer the time.

Pointillism
Colin’s very successful talk last week has already inspired some people to have a go – keep at it & let’s see your efforts.

Life Drawing session
This week sees our regular Life Drawing session – 2 models as usual. If you haven’t attempted drawing from life, here’s your chance to have a go for free.
