Exhibition appeal for Facebook

Some of you may have seen that we have a Facebook campaign going on for this years exhibition. 

If you haven't , check it out. 

If you have seen it then please share it. 

Also please send be some photos of any completed paintings for the page. 

Email them to me at karlsimpson1285@btinternet.com 

At the moment all I am able to post are photos of my work and a few others. 

I can't get to the club tomorrow due to work again so it's vital I get some more photos. 

Banners have arrived plus Facebook news.

The banners have arrived , yes I know there's no date on them but I was asked to leave that blank so we can use them year on year.

Also I have started the Facebook publicity advert so that will run until the day of the show.

For those on Facebook , search for Monk Fryston Art Club and "like" the page , share it , etc , get the word out.

Wahey , a post at last !

Ok so here we go, the build up to the exhibition.

September 18th at Monk Fryston Hall.

So here are a few paintings from today's meet , some of which may be at the exhbition.

If you are a member and have some completed works I need to get them on here and in Facebook.

Facebook more importantly, so bring them along and get Karl Simpson or Malcolm Anderson to photograph them.

Also do please actually go to the blog rather than just read this email as there are a few links to other blogs.

Picnic Pics

Just a few photos from the successful picnic on Monday 8th August

Apologies of anyone didn't want to have these published.

email me privately and I can remove them.

We normally have paintings up here don't we.

Rooms for all exhibition cancelled

I have to announce that the "Rooms For All" exhibition idea has been shelved for this year.

Perhaps with more planning we can get it up and running in the spring 2017.

The Picnic for now is still going ahead but it is finely balanced as to whether that may also be cancelled too.

There is a poster up in the club entrance that needs some additional attendees adding , if not as stated that may also be shelved.

Please make all the effort you can.


I believe the new programme is almost ready and I will post that up here, when I get a copy.

!f anyone can take any photos of club meetings please send them to

Brusho reminder and last weeks late post, sorry !

I can't believe it's Sunday night and I've not posted last weeks paintings.

Tomorrow is the brusho demo so read last weeks post for a full reminder of what to bring.

Brushing demo 13th June

Hopefully you all know that there is going to be a brush of demo on the 13th June.

Please find below a list of what to bring. 

Brusho-What to bring

Paper BOCKINGFORD 140lb Not is recommended. Some of the more expensive watercolour papers don’t work as well with some of the techniques, especially bleach. Large sheets are good!  Bring plenty.
Watercolour Brushes for using with Brusho and some old brushes for bleach

Pencils rubber etc.
2 Water sprays one for pure water, one for bleach+water

Pots for water ( bring several!)
Palette
Cloths and old towels
Drawing board
Masking tape
Bleach --the household stuff
A separate container for bleach that you will apply with a brush
You might also need white wax crayon or candle. Permanent black markers ( thick and thin). Newspaper to cover tables; it can be messy.

Please come suitably dressed. Brusho might wash out but bleach would be a disaster!

Also you might want to bring along some pictures to work from. Any subject! Animals, seascapes, landscapes, figures, flowers. Here are a few Brusho pics to show you what you might choose.
