Bob Meecham

BH, Camelia

Talk on John Piper’s work and its influence on his own art work. Bob will bring a couple of examples of his work.

Bob has lectured on JMW Turner for Tate Britain. Works include: landscapes, legends, myths & stories, communal works with a group of artists forming The London Surrey Arts, ceramic items, book illustrations and works based on Wagner’s Ring Cycle. Much of his work reflects the idea that landscapes, buildings and objects bear witness to, and reveal the collective memories of human stories. There is a spirit of place that can be captured and drawn out in the practice of drawing and painting, both in situ and in longer contemplation through sketchbook diaries.

Mark Warner

ZOOM

Demo – landscape in acrylic.

Mark is an experienced practicing artist and tutor based in Shropshire. Sketching is at the heart of his work. It is integral to the development of a piece, sometimes forming part of the painting itself. He continues to draw inspiration from the landscape and adores using colour while interpreting the light, contrast, weather and a love of the materials. Mark has numerous works in private collections and galleries in both England and Wales.

Rodney Kingston

BH, Camelia

Demonstration in liquid charcoal

Rodney has been on Sky Arts Landscape Artist of the Year and Portrait Artist of the Year.  He has exhibited at the Mall Galleries with the Royal Society of Oil Painters and contributed articles to Leisure Painter magazine.

Rodney studied art and design at Wimbledon School of Art and a graphic design degree at Camberwell College of Arts. He paints the vast majority of his work with the subject in front of him. Inspiration comes from everyday life – people, places, still life objects – and the challenge of translating three-dimensional subjects into a convincing two-dimensional oil painting. Rodney primarily works, in oil but also completes portraiture work in liquid charcoal.

Adrienne Adie

BH, Camelia

Demo – A Lively, Crowded & Colourful Scene in acrylic inks and pastel.
“After studying Graphic Design in Durban, I worked as a Graphic Artist for various agencies in South Africa, and moved to the UK in 1997. My working life consists of running adult art classes and workshops, as well as demonstrating for Art Groups. My style is expressive, energetic and spontaneous. I love the immediacy of mark making and the unpredictability of that approach. It enables me to combine all I have ever learnt about illustration, painting and design. This is when my heart beats a thousand times a minute … I am on edge and the adrenalin is flowing. I constantly endeavour to engage my viewers by drawing them into another world. After a number of solo exhibitions, I now sell my paintings privately & through the London Art Society.”
