DEMONSTRATION
by Stephen Coates - Watercolours
Free to members of Macclesfield Art Group. Non members pay £4 cash only on the door.
Sheffield born Stephen Coates was advised to forget about art at school. His teacher acknowledged his ability but suggested there was no future in the subject. Having spent 16 years in the music industry and another 16 years running his own sandwich business, Stephen finally disregarded his teachers advice and in April 2011 and turned professional as an artist and tutor.
'I have since become an established watercolour demonstrator and workshop leader visiting art groups all over the country. I do some demonstration work for Winsor & Newton and frequently paint live at art shows. I have a publishing deal with Search Press and and currently have three books to my name. I also provide regular articles for Leisure Painter magazine. The other exciting aspect of my career was getting invloved with the trade and becoming a supplier of art materials. I developed a very special relationship with the Proarte brush company in Skipton and ended up designing my own brushes which they kindly manufacture for me. Most notable is the “Foliater” which is a brush specially designed for painting trees and foliage.

Bibliography
I learnt to paint whilst living in the Far East in the 1960's and it was there that my passion for painting began. I attended the art department in Hong Kong University under an American resident tutor who taught me oil painting for two years. The subjects were mainly landscape, still-life and portraiture as well as seascapes. I also studied Chinese painting with Professor Lau Ta Po for over a year. I gradually started to paint in watercolours and enjoyed the opportunity of being able to paint in both mediums. I am a member of The Society of Women Artists and a Member of The Royal Birmingham Society of Artists . I am a qualified Adult Education Teacher and organise workshops, painting days and demonstrations to art groups and societies throughout the country. I have demonstrated at Patchings Art Festival at Calverton in Nottingham and also at the Mall Galleries in London for the Society of Women's Artist's exhibition. http://carolhillartist.com |

Acrylic Landscape
DEMONSTRATION

Charles Hickson
DEMONSTRATION
by
Charles Hickson
|
"My current work has concentrated on landscape paintings made ‘in situ’ with large houses and gardens providing the theme. I attempt to convey an atmosphere and a sense of mystery about a venue despite it being recognisable to those who know the location.
"I like to paint in acrylic on paper, the medium limiting the message at times but liberating it at others. The intention is to balance a careful design element with wilder, more gestured passages." |

Anthony is a member of NAPA the National Acrylic Painters Association and has been painting for over 30 years he holds a BA (Hons) Fine Art and Certificate in Education and is a professional artist and lecturer and a Member of the Institute for Learning.
Anthony is predominantly a figurative painter with a prolific output that often overflows into the disciplines of landscape, still life and abstract painting. His work stretches the boundary between representational imagery and memory, exploring techniques that become far more important than the painting process itself. Chiefly commissioned based his vast experience and natural talent for capturing the human figure and his portraits that explore the underlying character of the sitter have led to numerous awards. Influences include Gerhard Richter, Lucian Freud, Eric Fischl, Impressionism and the Italian Renaissance

'Acrylics'
by
Carl Jacobs
'Acrylics'
|
Much of Carl’s work now is done using acrylic paints as he described them as being the most versatile. He stated that “They can be used as a thin wash, much the same as watercolours, or thickly in a similar way to oils and the other bonus is a fast drying time which enables me to work spontaneously, without waiting too long for the paint to dry.”
“I would say that when I begin a piece of work, my aim is not one of total realism, but more of an individual, slightly abstracted feel, which I achieve by fragmenting the image into shapes that echo certain elements in the image and then the painting, in a way takes over and dictates to me how it wants to progress. I find this way of working really exciting and enjoyable. http://www.artmytreasure.gallery/carl-jacobs |

"Hello – my name’s John – John Harrison – Yorkshire born and bred, and proud of it. My home county, especially the wonderful town and villages along its East coast, is the inspiration for much of my recent work, seen and drawn with a different view of familiar places.
"The pen and ink style of all this childhood reading influenced me to a greater extent than I realised – after trying out most other media,I have come full circle and for the last few years have worked almost exclusively in a line and wash style. It feels the most natural thing in the world to me, and I hope that feeling comes through in my work. "I’ve been involved in creative endeavours of one form or another for most of my adult life: I had a long period where I earned my living as a professional drummer, and sketched and drew constantly: sadly, I no longer have those sketchbooks, which I’m sure, contained many illustrations I’d be proud to show. "A graphic designer with a real passion for typography, I love using ink and watercolour wash, with buildings, townscapes and coastal scenes my favourite subject matter. |

"Drawing, painting and sketching is all about enjoying what you are doing.

"I also love to paint in a garden; capturing delicate florals and their insects fluttering around them, or sitting on a hillside working on a landscape view. I hope that my paintings are both fluid and lively; I will often bring over a detail with hand written anecdotes." See more on Allie's website: www.alliepottinger.com

Admission £3.00 includes light refreshment.
Free parking. We recommend that you arrive early as this event is sure to be very well attended. Nick Eveleigh 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 my 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. For more information and examples of his work see Nick's website at www.nick-eveleigh-art.co.uk |

Roger's work includes maritime paintings, strip cartoons as well as cartoons drawn to illustrate and accompany articles written by Roger including Classic Boat and Towpath Talk. You can see a selection of his work as well as reading his biography on his website at www.rogermurray.co.uk He believes a good painting should communicate on an emotional level and come from the painters heart, and a good way for an artist to tap into his/her own feelings is by working quickly (which he will demonstrate). He'll be covering composition and tips for differentiating foreground/midground and background. |

Demonstration by Steve Bewsher - Pastels
Steven Bewsher was born in Manchester in 1964. He graduated from Manchester and Wolverhampton with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art. He held his first exhibition in 1994 in Manchester.
In 1995 Steven exhibited at the Mall Gallery in London after taking part in the Discerning Eye Competition. In the same year he held his first one man show in Knutsford to great acclaim. This led the way for further one man shows in both Buxton and Alderley Edge.
Steven’s work concerns the effects of light and shade on the landscape, capturing the changing colours and luminosity of the seasons. A constant theme Steven keeps returning to is the last dramatic glimmer of sunlight on the landscape before it disappears.
The rivers and canals of Cheshire have been a constant source of inspiration, the stillness of the water acting as a mirror, reflecting both landscape and the last light of the day.
Steven’s work has been featured in ‘The Art Magazine’, and ‘Artist and Illustrator’ and he has contributed to several tuition books. He is also in demand as a demonstrator of painting to art societies around the country. His work has been reproduced as both limited edition prints and greetings cards.
