Please note that the new term will begin on Thursday 12th September 2019.

Maureen wishes to say that she has received the following message from Lynda.

I thought I would let you know, as some of the art group may be interested, that I am giving a series of lessons in the Meeting house Arts Centre, Ilminster.

It is a set of 4 lessons Cost is £50 for the 4 lessons and booking is through the Art Centre. It is on Thursday mornings which I know is not ideal but when the Art Centre could accommodate me between my usual pastel commitments. The dates are the 25th July , 8th August, 22nd August and 29th August. Booking opened on Thursday and already there are only a few places remaining. Further details as to subjects and requirements list will be at the Arts Centre as soon as I have completed them!

Kind regards, Lynda

Annual Bristol trip

It has been agreed by the majority of the membership (by raised hands) that due to the poor standard of last year’s exhibition at the Royal West of England Bristol art exhibition  we shall not bother to arrange a visit this term. However Duncan would welcome suggestions from members as to alternative  worthwhile visits.

Linda Hampson – Botanical Art Tutor – Demonstration

Examples of my work, botanical and natural history, can be found in many private collections around the world. I also have botanical work hanging in the Visitors Centre of the Durban Botanic Gardens.

I relocated to England in 2011, joined SWSBA and by 2013, was elected to full membership of the  Society of Botanical Artists. Received the Derwent award for outstanding work in the coloured pencil medium.’Although botanical work is covered, I also tutor all aspects of natural history illustration – birds and animals. The versatility of the coloured pencil medium is comprehensively covered and it’s inclusion into mixed media artworks is explored.

I give regular lessons in Sidmouth on Fridays as well as monthly lessons in Lyme Regis and through The Old Kennels , Dunkeswell.

Further details and information is on my website – https://www.swsba.org.uk/artists/72/Linda+Hampson+-+Coloured+pencil+artist.
