The Forecourt Art Group’s annual winter exhibition continues at the Peterculter Heritage Hall.

The exhibition will remain open  each Saturday and Sunday 12- 4pm (with teas and home baking served from 2pm) until closing on Sunday 29th November.

This exhibition  features the broadest range of artists for some time, with 24 exhibitors displaying 72 new works in a variety of media. There will also be a range of unframed works, photographs, prints  and cards.

All works are available for purchase and immediate collection.

The Autumn Exhibition of the Forecourt Art Group will take place at the Heritage Hall, Peterculter – where we have had two very successful previous exhibitions.

The Opening night will be on Friday 30th October and it will run daily (except Wednesdays) for two full weeks. Thereafter it will be on for two further weekends.

More details to follow.

A new site to me, Vr2l Art Student, is offering art lessons online for £2.50 each.

They also offer free tasters on various topics whcih range from the use of extenders in Acylics, in order to slow the drying process, to the choice of pastel papers. The lessons were well-filmed and as good as many as I’ve seen on DVD. Thee are two artists involved, by the look of it, but the lessons I looked at were all by the same woman, Dee Cowell.

When I looked back tonight the server had exceeded its bandwidth capacity which might indicate that they’re an victim of the success of their launch. They were being promoted by Jacksons’ Art in their latest e-newsletter.

In it, they said, “Dee’s site offers entry level lessons in Drawing, Watercolour, Acrylics, Pastels, and Oils, lessons for kids and on specific subject themes. There are currently 60 lessons with new lessons constantly being added. Dee will also be introducing other famous artists to work alongside her. You will find video-download lessons, free lessons, special offers, notes and a gallery.”

Give them a try when they’re back up and running!
