Welcome

The Society is a small group of amateur artists living and working in and around the Towcester area.  
We meet weekly throughout the year on each Thursday evening in Sawpits Centre, Towcester.

Please take a look at our Gallery page where you can view our members paintings.   Several of our members undertake commissions so if you would like a portrait of a family member, your pet, house, a landmark that brings back memories, holiday destination - whatever the subject we can put you in contact with relevant artists. A commissioned painting makes a very personal present.
If you are interested in purchasing a painting from the gallery or commissioning one of our members to paint something for you, please contact us via the contact page.
We also have a new Facebook Page - please take a look and 'share' with your 'friends'.

Our Artist of the Month for February is        
Beth Maitland

After my husband died I needed a challenge, and six years part time at Banbury College certainly gave me that.  Modern art does not like one to be ordinary, but mercifully I was allowed to paint nature in a greatly magnified form so that it became abstract.  Every painting had to be large but I drew the line at a metre so that it fitted into my car.
We painted in oils or acrylics and learnt about the colour wheel; cool and warm colours and where they should be in your painting.  Life drawing was important, learning to observe, measure and perspective.  These skills have stayed with me but I prefer to draw nature in its true format now.
PLEASE NOTIFY ME OF FUTURE EVENTS
  Throughout the year we hold a number of exhibitions and our members work is also on display in The Granary Tearoom, at Milton Keynes Museum. Would you like to be advised by email when the events will take place, or be invited to the preview?  If so please complete the contact form.
Towcester & District Art Society will not share your personal details with anyone else and you can unsubscribe from the notification at any time.
