Lovebugs with Kim Amis
Fascinating workshop with Kim Amis for our February gathering, with a good turnout despite the awful weather! We drew bugs, working from images provided by Kim, using soft pencil to create the images and then lifting out some of the pencil marks to create light and movement.
Painting portraits for the new year
Our Thursday meetings got off to a great start in January, with a stimulating demo from artist Keith Morton on painting a portrait in acrylics. Keith uses a limited palette of primary colours to focus on a careful construction of the face to underpin later layers of paint. Thanks too to our model, Casey Kitchener!

Mickos at Arbeit Studios
An exhibition of paintings by EAC member Mickos opens on Friday 24 November at Arbeit Studios in Palmers Green.
‘Searching 2023’ explores the artist’s interests in the physical qualities of oil paint and the effects of light on natural and man-made forms. From still life to landscape, Mickos’ work sits at the boundary between figurative and abstract, shading towards the flatness of modern art.
Admission is free to the exhibition, which opens from 6pm to 10pm on Friday 24 November at Arbeit Studios, at the rear of 310 Green Lanes, N13 5TT.
The exhibition is then open at weekends, from 10am to 6pm on Saturdays and Sundays, 24 and 25 November, and 2, 3, 9 and 10 December. The last day is Saturday 16 December, 10am to 6pm.
