Gillian Park, professional artist, gave us a demonstration on Wednesday evening 22nd May 2024 and demonstrated painting a sunset in oils.

Gillian is a self-taught artist who has carved out a great career in a discipline where making money is not easy.

She chose to paint a big sky for us. We were fascinated to watch her mix a multicoloured pallet to create the colours she wanted, before applying them to a canvas that had been prepared with a pink wash. Gillian’s bold use of bright colours is her trademark and before long her sky emerged.   She was full of life and chat and we enjoyed an entertaining evening.

Big thanks to Gillian!
