  • A Masterclass with Mike Chaplin at Bankside Gallery

    Course

    19 Apr 2012

    Spend an evening with Mike Chaplin as he explains how a watercolour painting arrives on paper. From how first thoughts in the sketchbook lead to final statements on paper, Mike will introduce you to some aspects of watercolour that non-painters very rarely see, and he will give an insight into how technicalities meet with inspiration to make paintings which move and excite us. Mike is still remembered from his many television appearances on “Watercolour Challenge”. An entertaining and informative occasion – not to be missed.

  • Gerald Hastings: The Gouache Paintings of Keith Vaughan at Bankside Gallery

    Special Event

    28 Mar 2012

    2012 marks Keith Vaughan’s centenary. Virtually everything written about his work is concerned with his subject-matter, however Gerard Hastings’ illustrated lecture will concentrate on the artist’s gouache paintings from a practitioner’s point of view. He will discuss a major collection of gouaches, which he recently discovered in the South of France. The main aim of the lecture is to make clear Vaughan’s working methods, materials and processes and the unexpected and innovative ways he produced his water-based paintings.
