Club Demos

Club Night Artist Demonstrations 2019 - 2020

Tuesday 24th September 2019
Stephen McClean - Watercolour

What a fantastic evening we had with Stephen,  it's always lovely when an artist is local and we feel a true connection with his work. His demo tonight brought us to a familiar place, overlooking Whitehead, White harbour to Kilroot from the Bla Hole.  It's amazing how a lovely loose painting can come alive so quickly, lots of tips and techniques to digest. Thanks Stephen, a great night.

Tuesday 19th November 2019
Dessie Monroe - Acrylics

The club extended a very warm welcome to Dessie for his excellent demonstration in acrylics.  He chatted warmly on how his style has evolved over the years, shared a joke or two and answered the many questions from the club members. Thanks Dessie for a very enjoyable night.


Tuesday 7th January 2020
Sam Fleming - Modern Art
​
​We enjoyed a very informative and certainly educational evening with Sam who demonstrated the use of colour in paintings. The science behind the art, how to enhance a painting and how to tone it down. Using oil but easily applied to any medium. Another great evening with Sam Fleming.

Paul Wilson - Charcoal

​Paul gave a very engaging demonstration in charcoal. A fascinating insight into the different techniques for producing depth and tone without the use of colour.

Great interest and enthusiasm was sparked within the club to give charcoal a go!

Tuesday 21st April 2020
Kenny McKendry - Oil

We look forward to welcoming Kenny to the club for a night of landscape demonstration in oils.

Tuesday 6th November 2018
Kim Montgomery - Acrylics

The club enjoyed a lovely demo in acrylics by Kim Montgomery. Her chosen subject, a portrait of the younger David Hockney who’s considered to be one of the most influential British artists of the 20th century. Kim used only black medium to create the portrait from a detailed line drawing.





​27th November 2018
Colin H Davidson - Oil

What a fabulous demonstration by Colin H Davidson, painting in oil he brought a blank canvas to life in less than 2 hours. His witty tales of the shipyard, stories of the people and ships added to the authenticity of his paintings. It was a great pleasure to have such an accomplished artist with demonstrating with us.




​8th January 2019
Trisha Campbell - Watercolours

​Such a lovely watercolour demonstration with Trisha. What a pleasure it was to see her beautiful hare painting come to life, both delicate and striking, the paint flowed effortlessly from her brushes. The demo sparked real enthusiasm among the members.  A great start to the year.

Roger Waring - Oil

​Roger really showed us how's it's done, how to create a beautiful painting in less than an hour. Using a black canvas his application of acrylic paint brought the lighthouse to life almost immediately. Thank you Roger for giving us inspiration to paint with more confidence and perhaps try out black canvases.


​2nd April 2018
Louis Humphrey - Acrylics/oil

WOW blank canvas to snowy masterpiece in less than 2 hours. What a fabulous demonstration, using only three colours Louis showed us really how it was done, trade secrets and all! I think there will be a few snow scenes on our easels this weekend, thanks to Louis for a great evening.
