Shirley Davis Dew workshop for Driffield Art Club 2.6.18
Driffield Art Club members who took part in the Nafferton workshop run by Shirley Davis Dew spent a very enjoyable day trying out watercolour glazing techniques using masking fluid and plenty of washes.
Shirley demonstrated her techniques step by step throughout the day and the group then followed suit at each stage, building up to a finished piece each. Thank you Shirley.
Demonstration by Andrew Farmer
In May Driffield Art Club had a demonstration by Andrew Farmer – Andrew did a self portrait in oils which showed his approach to using measuring techniques (by eye) and colour contrast. Andrew stepped back very few minutes to explain what he was doing and take questions.

Batik demonstration by Loraine Walker
Monday 15th May 2017
MANY THANKS TO LORAINE WALKER for a very interesting and entertaining demonstration of Batik on Paper at the DAC meeting yesterday evening. Loraine builds up her beautiful designs in layers of hot wax lines and washes of dye – starting with the lightest colours. Because each layer has to dry before starting on the next Loraine, in true Blue Peter style, produced several that she had “made earlier”! If you would like to see more of Loraine’s work do have a look at her website www.lorainewalker.co.uk
Anthony Barrow Demonstration night
Another successful meeting!
This month’s Art Club Meeting was before a full house when the Artist and Lecturer Anthony Barrow of Wigan gave a fascinating demonstration of portrait painting using a total mix of almost every medium available.
His fun-loving attitude and freedom of style provided a highly entertaining evening for members and guests. A host of different techniques were absorbed by the assembly which will no doubt be seen in their future work.

Cath Inglis Demonstration
ART CLUB PRESIDENT GIVES DEMONSTRATION
At our Driffield Art Club meeting in March 2017 our award winning President, Cath Inglis , gave an inspiring demonstration of her individual technique when painting with soft Pastels.
Those already familiar with Pastels were shown a number of new ways of applying the medium, whilst those new to Pastels were inspired to start using this special medium.
Cath’s painting showed a Hare in full flight in open countryside. She managed to almost complete a great painting in the two hours available.
The next meeting of Driffield Art club is scheduled to take place at 7pm on Tuesday April 18th at the Westgarth Community Centre, Mill Street, Driffield when the internationally recognized artist and lecturer Anthony Barrow will be drawing a portrait using Mixed Media.

Rob Gobel Demonstration night
Another interesting evening was enjoyed at the latest Meeting held on Monday 16th January in the Driffield Community Centre, Mill Street.
A demonstration on water based mixed media techniques was given by Rob Gobel, a retired dentist from Kilham,
The demonstration certainly lived up to its title as Rob showed his individual technique of mixing water colours with pastels, acrylics, inks, pen work and various washes all together in one composition.
Art Club members were intrigued by Rob’s laid back approach to his work and there was plenty of interest in the different techniques which members were encouraged to apply to their own work.
The Chair, Mary Wells, thanked Rob for his talk and announced that the next meeting is scheduled for Monday 20th February at 7 pm when Heather Burton of Spaldington would be returning to further develop her acrylic palette knife paintings, begun at an earlier demonstration in November.
Visitors are always welcome at any forthcoming meetings.
