Watford and Bushey Art Society (WBAS) is for people who enjoy the creation of fine arts. Our society welcomes artists of all levels or people with just an interest in the process of making art. At our monthly meetings professional artists demonstrate the use of various techniques to our members and visitors; it could be about oils, acrylics, watercolour, pastels or many other techniques or a talk on an art related subject. Similarly the painting could be portraiture, landscape, seascape, still life or abstract.
One thing is for sure, whoever the guest or whichever method they use, these meetings are always full of hints and tips for all artists, no matter what their preferred medium. We hope to inspire our members with creative ideas to pursue their own art in any direction they choose.
WBAS members also have many opportunities to exhibit and sell their work, with exhibitions in various venues around the area. Please note however that while we love to exhibit our members original art whether by brush, pastel, collage, etching, lino cut or other similar hand created work. We do NOT exhibit photographic or digital work other than prints of original art and only then as unframed work in certain exhibitions.
WBAS also run Workshops and have a Social Group, which offers visits to Galleries, plein air sketching/painting the sharing of ideas and, of course, coffee, cake and a chat.
