Keith Thirgood Plein Air Painting Demo

May 27, 2016, Friday Club Night, Keith Thirgood (Acrylic landscape
painter and President of Ontario Plein Air Society) gave an outdoor
demo at the club. For him, planning with a value sketch is a very
important first step. He then sketches in the main gestures with chalk
onto a black background. Once he begins to paint, it goes very
quickly. Members enjoyed being outdoors, and a useful Q&A session in
the club afterwards. During the coffee break, we shared a Thank You
cake (chocolate of course) to celebrate the 5 years Murray Durante has
been volunteering, and welcomed Sylvia LeRoy as new Friday night
co-ordinator.
