Tuesday, 3rd July Demonstration:
Drawing: Investigating and Experimenting with Confidence
with Tim Hardy
Drawing is the most powerful way of seeing objects comprehensively, and this is a major theme of Tim’s session. He demonstrates this key drawing characteristic through using a series of different techniques to draw the same object. In a more extended work, Tim creates a drawing combining different viewpoints of the same object, demonstrating how drawing encourages us to experiment. All of these strategies are easy to adopt, and by practising them we build our confidence in drawing.
Come along to the COACH HOUSE at 12.45pm for the demonstration to begin at 1.00pm.
ENTRY: $10 members $15 visitors ….which includes afternoon tea.
Please remember NO VIDEOS to be taken during the demonstration.

UPDATE: “Truly Local” proposed exhibition.
You may have noticed an entry in our October KAS calendar for a new exhibition to be held at the Kiama Masonic Hall, titled “Truly Local”. This was to be a “members only” exhibition, featuring paintings of our beautiful Kiama Municipality.
The sad news is that due to some unpredictable circumstances, we must cancel the exhibition on this date. The Good news is that it is now proposed for April next year. Save the dates: April 26, 27 and 28, 2019.
Organisers Lea Tucker and Helen Pain apologise to anyone who has started a new work for this exhibition. Of course, you can still enter your work in the Local Area section of the coming KAS Exhibition at the Leagues Club.
Lea and Helen and the KAS Committee are planning that all details of “Truly Local” will be advertised later this year, and it will be up and running in 2019.
ANOTHER CHANGE TO OUR CALENDAR. We have decided not to hold Art in the Park in the months of May June and July due to Mother’s Day falling on the Sunday in May and the unpredictable and cold weather during winter.
Kathy Karas has an exhibition up at Katoomba in Gallery One 88 FINE ARTS titled – ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK.
Kathy Karas has an exhibition up at Katoomba in Gallery One 88 FINE ARTS titled – It runs until 1st JULY and Kathy will be up there on Saturday, 30th JUNE.
In these paintings Kathy was compelled to add just one colour. A pop of orange with some amazing and unpredictable effects.
If you feel like a weekend drive, Katoomba is the place to go.I
