Our regular model sketching sessions on June 10th proved very popular, with our own Graham Lee as the model. Graham provided a different pose for todays session - (reading) which gave additional challenges. The artists have all captured him well. (Apologies that I didn't note down all of the artists names to add to each picture. Please message me...

On the evening of Friday May 9th Stafford Art Group held their presentation evening for the Selected Exhibition. Each of the categories had 2 awards, a Winner and a Highly Commended. The competition judges were Claire Lord and Arthur Tindle who also presented the awards.

SAG welcomed watercolour artist Nicky Hunter today. Nicky is an experienced watercolourist who began her career creating designs for textiles. Her work is loose and full of expression. Although she used a reference photograph she stressed that she liked to let the paint dictate a lot of what she creates.
