SPRING EXHIBITION of our art group has been held on last Sunday, 19.4.2015, at Lehtisaari School, Säynätsalo. Members of this course have worked for years together, first in "Vanha Pesula" building and, from 2014 on, at Lehtisaari School.
Our weekly meetings consist of painting, drawing, free discussions and coffee breaks. Very nice for such an retired amateur like myself!
Our teacher Minna (sorry, no photo of Minna!) has influenced us in a very positive way. All techniques and their combinations are free to chose. Painting with oil colours is new for me; I started just one and half years ago. I am originally a drawer (pencils, colour pencils, ink) and this period of oil painting has been very educative for me. Not so much details as a drawer would like to present; chosing the right colours (and finding the very same shades after one weeks period to continue!) etc. are all new tasks for me.
I hope that some knowledge of oil painting is already adopted by me.
But, during next summer, I like to draw!
The last step of the annual period is the Spring Exhibition! We share it with other artists of Säynätsalo (these stoneware sculptures are no ours) and will meet them for a short period of some hours which the exhibition will be open.
This last photo does not indicate the response of a guest on the art; my dear wife is telling some interesting story to my fellow painter!
You are welcome to our next exhibition in Spring 2016 - and before that, also to the Annual Exhibition of Art Society KOPRU, which will be held in August 2015, in "Wanha Woimala" (an old power station) in Vaajakoski! More information: www.kopru.fi.
