RAS Artists Demonstration Programme

Royston Arts Society runs a programme of nine artist demonstrations each year. The demos are chosen so that they cover a range of subjects and media. We also try to include one or two that are slightly ‘unusual’ either in the medium used or the approach taken to paint a subject. We try to present a programme that will appeal to a wide variety of artists in subject matter, style and medium used.

RAS recently invested in a projection system which allows us to display a large image of the painting on a screen. This means that all visitors get a good view regardless of where they are sitting or the size of the painting. It also allows us to choose demo artists who prefer to work on a table or who paint on a smaller scale.

We have a break for a cup of tea or coffee half way through. This allows people to talk to the demo artist and to take a more detailed look at the painting.

We hope the demos will provide food for thought for our members and non-members.
