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.

Stuart once again shared his knowledge and experience with a presentation on perspective, shadows and reflections. Following on from his previous session on perspective - Stuart explained how to get shadows drawn accurately depending on the angle of the light .

Friday and Saturday 21st and 22nd March SAG was at Oddfellows in Stafford for our Spring Exhibition. This is a wonderful opportunity to exhibit work produced by SAG artists , and also offer work for sale. This year we have included artwork donated to be sold in aid of our chosen charity- Cancer Research.

SAG once again welcomed back Doug Blanks to share some more insight into painting with oils. Doug works mostly in oils - finding it the best medium to paint in his chosen style, recreating the painting style of the 'old masters' like Rembrant.

Our much awaited second session for Alcohol Inks took place on Saturday March 1st. And what a day!! The small hall at Littleworth was at capacity with over 20 attendees, which included a few non-members, plus members who hadn't been able to attend the first session.

Just half an hour's drive away is Walsall Art Gallery, where the Walsall Society of Artists are currently exhibiting their work. This is their 74th Annual Exhibition. We were visited recently by one of their members , and soon to be Chair, Steve Woodhams (who did a demo on his Cubist Style ).

If you fancy a break from all things christmas... I can thoroughly recommend the Maurice Wade Exhibition which is currently at Potteries Museum and Art Gallery. The temporary exhibition is showing a wide range of Wade's work spanning his painting years. He works in a very monochromatic style, creating the stark landscape of the potteries.

Our winter exhibition took place on Friday 22nd and Saturday 23rd November. Oddfellows was transformed into an Art Gallery of wonderful artworks displayed beautifully. The cafe was available for drinks and cakes at very affordable prices.

This evening, 8th November , we were treated to a presentation by local artist Steve Woodhams. Steve originates from Bloxwich and is soon to be the Chair at the Walsall Artists Group - a well established group of artists for over 70 years.
