Dawn Sidoli’s fond remembrance of Rita Greig dates back to 1980. “Rita was very lively, but her style of painting was gentle and skilful and taught me much about composition, tone and representation.” The two artists were led by their love of painting and travel to visit and depict Scotland, Wales, France, Venice and the Italian coast.

DRAWING SCHOOL NEWS
Karn Holly has been running an excellent all-day drawing session at the Victoria & Albert Museum for the last two terms. It's a perfect example of the Drawing School philosophy, individual tuition from a practising artist, building up a personal and intense relationship over a sustained period.
We’re looking into starting Beginners' classes, in response to several inquiries we have had recently. If anyone else is interested, please do contact us drawingschool@newenglishartclub.co.uk |
