Dear Members,

A big thank you to all the members who took part in our Spring Exhibition, not forgetting everyone including friends and family who visited or helped with the exhibition. There is always a lot to do, and all help is very much appreciated.

Despite our fears that moving away from Easter might be detrimental to the usual footfall and sales, we appear to have enjoyed similar numbers to usual.  I don’t have the full or exact details yet but will pass them on when I do.

I do however have the results of the ‘Visitors Vote’.
1st place        – Chris Pagdin with 15 votes – Reflections on the River
2nd place       – Judith Mears with 9 votes   – Walk on the Beach

Joint 3rd place with 6 votes each, Kevin Duff – Harbour Sunset,
Andrew Clayton – Perhaps Devon’s Finest Beach

 Our next workshop is on,

Saturday May 16th    
Phil Creek – Seascapes in Acrylic
Yealmpton Community Center.

Phil will spend the morning talking and demonstrating his way of working.
Members will be encouraged to follow his
lead to produce their own seascape over
the course of the afternoon.

There are a few spaces left, if you would like to attend please email,
contact@yealmartsociety.com

On April 18th Michael Hill ran a Watercolour Workshop.
Michael stood in at short notice when David Norman had to cancel.

Michael demonstrated painting a scene of rustic cottages before members painted the same scene. He also demonstrated how to paint skies and boats, using watercolours and pro marker pens in colour and monochrome.
