Lisa Bartlett: Review
Lisa delivered a very relaxed and calming demo, inviting plenty of questions from the audience and inspiring many to discover, or rediscover, oils.
​
She produced a still life with some floral contributions from her own garden.

Joan Crawford: Review
Joan, a longtime member of OAG, both educated and entertained a record number of members with a very personal 'conversation' on abstract art.
​
She started by pointing out that the purpose of abstract art was largely to provoke ideas, 'you have to delve from within - very different from painting what you see. It means working in uncertainty.... artists are generally required to focus on the outcome, when what should really matter most, is the experience!'

Chris Forsey: Review
Well we certainly kicked off the Christmas Season and celebrated our 50th Anniversary in a bit of style! Champagne, commissioned cakes and a commemorative pencil helped us to mark the occasion. Chris Forsey followed our social activities with a demonstration that was as informative as it was amusing and fun.

Soraya French: Review
Our 2026 season started with a member’s favourite, Soraya French, a highly successful and critically acclaimed artist both at home and abroad.
Maintaining her usual enthusiasm and engaging conversation throughout her demonstration, Soraya did not disappoint a large OAG audience as she delivered a masterclass in mixed media florals.
