'The Urban Landscape’ - a demonstration of painting in acrylics by Nick Eveleigh.

Nick Eveleigh gave us an entertaining and informative demonstration showing the techniques he uses painting brickworks in a townscape. Using a watercolour technique with acrylic paints and masking fluid Nick showed how to produce lively images full of colour. We thank Nick for an excellent evening.

Nick  has been painting and teaching art for over 30 years, and now spend time teaching art to adults in schools, colleges and private venues, mainly in the South Cheshire area. He started painting seriously in 1973 when his studies took him to Manchester where he was struck by the atmosphere of the industrial landscape and the colour of the brickwork which is very different to his hometown of Monmouth in South Wales. He prefers the more prozaic, earthy, less fashionable places which we tend to overlook as they offer a more accurate reflection of our society. More recently he has broadened his subjects to include portraits (animal and human!), still life (natural and man-made), general landscapes and water.
