In addition, we were also treated to incredible demos by Penny Steynor, working in acrylic with a palette knife and Evan Douglas showing his skills with watercolour. Thank you for a wonderful evening. Thursday 27 February: AGM and Drawing Competition: This February we will be holding our 117th Annual General Meeting. The AGM is held every February to update the members on the status of the society, to elect council members and for the Treasurer to present the past year’s financial report. The AGM is your opportunity to bring up points that you feel need to be raised, to comment on the running of the society and to offer your services on Council. As we have three members standing down this year, it is important that we get new volunteers to keep the society running. If you would like to help by standing for Council, you can propose members from the floor, or you can email your proposals to [email protected]. This is your society and we would encourage you to attend this year’s meeting. The Annual SASA Drawing Competition will follow the Annual General Meeting. The theme chosen for this year is ‘Urban’. A great opportunity to use those pencils to achieve maximum tonal values. Use your imaginations – the sky’s the limit! Please remember that this is a monochrome (single-colour) drawing competition. Therefore, only drawing techniques are permitted, using one drawing medium in any one colour. For example, charcoal on paper or support (an unpainted surface). Other single drawing media may be used, such as pencil or graphite or conté or pen. Rules for the Drawing Competition: (Please read carefully, to avoid disappointment) ▪ All works should be new, recent works that are appropriate to the theme. ▪ There will only be one category for entries, with prizes awarded to the top three chosen works. ▪ Only members present on the evening are eligible to vote. ▪ Please ensure that your work is suitably mounted, or, if presented in a sketchbook, please provide bulldog clips to open the book to the appropriate page and a firm support in order to prop up the page for viewing. ▪ The competition is a monochrome (single-colour) drawing competition. ▪ All paid-up members present on the evening are allowed to submit one entry. ▪ No work containing brushwork or solvents will be allowed. (For example, watercolours or pastel diluted with turpentine are not permitted.) ▪ Work may not be submitted if it has been done in a class convened by an art teacher, nor if it has been previously entered in any SASA competition or exhibition.
