This was an evening demonstration that we will remember!
Ronnie Biccard, a relative newcomer to Fish Hoek, brought along some of her bright and beautiful acrylic paintings to inspire and encourage FHAS artists to try this medium.
As a professional artist, Ronnie has taught art, had her paintings published in books, calendars and cards, and now works at her studio in Fish Hoek selling nationally and overseas. She painted for many years in oils but has now adopted acrylics as her medium of choice for its wide range of colours, ease of application and speed in drying.
Looking back, it is not often we have had an artist work at the Society in acrylics so this was very exciting,
In less than 20 minutes (and Dave Parry was timing her...) she produced an abstract landscape which was vibrant, colourful and very impressive. We were all mesmerized by the speed with which the painting emerged from its black background.
Ronnie was a great demonstrator, a warm and charming lady with a real enthusiasm - and talent - for what she does.
She did much to promote using acrylics and there were many in the audience who commented that they too would like to try the medium.
Thanks Rob for the pix.
