(The winning team with their work: Maureen de Moor, Francis Callanan, Felicity Anne Faill, Greta Woolley, Mark Schartz and Jenny Moon)The first North Coast Art Group monthly meeting for the year will be on February 12 at 09h15 at the La Lucia Library.
New members are welcome and the theme for the monthly competition will be Still Life.
The Still Life Competition held after the AGM at the end of last year was a fun event but produced remarkably good work, reports Brian Phillips of the NCAG. “There were five teams of six each and they were each given a sheet of paper painted with four bottles (two green and two red), six drinking vessels (three yellow and three blue), a bowl, and three green and three orange circles (fruit). Another piece of paper had blocks of various colours to be used as table tops and shading/shadows. Each team was given a pair of scissors and a lump of Prestick.
“The teams were required to produce a still life on a table top using at least one of the items listed above,” continues Brian. “They were to be judged on their Composition, Perspective and use of Light (Shading/Shadows). They had to cut out the items from the painted paper given and Press-stick them together to make the picture. No other rules.”
The winning team included Maureen de Moor (leader), Francis Callanan, Felicity Anne Faill, Greta Woolley, Mark Schartz and Jenny Moon.
