On Tuesday 10th March we held our annual, Members appraisal evening.
Many thanks to Amanda Jackson, who did the appraisals, for a very interesting and informative evening.
Also many thanks to all the members who brought such a wonderfully varied selection of pictures that contributed so much to a very enjoyable evening.
Amanda talking to some of the members who attended, and other members admiring the excellent variety of pictures.
Amanda, who discussed the use of Negative (and Positive) space in art, when reviewing the drawings, has produced some notes on the subject.
