Acrylics Demo with David Newcombe




Another fantastic evening, this time in the presence of a very talented local artist David Newcombe. Not only did he share tips and techniques on acrylic painting, especially fuzzying around edges behind your focal point, he delivered it all in a wonderfully laid back, comedic style. He was both entertaining and instructive which is a rarity not to go unnoticed. With exhibitions on people's minds (Marple Art Group was having a hanging - go see - Sat/Sun at the Methodist Church, Marple), David looked at us all sternly and informed us to be careful in our selection of framing. Good paintings have lost sales by poor quality frames!!! I for one, look forward to seeing David give us a demonstration again. Brilliant!
