A Demonstration of Oil Painting with Gwendoline Krumins

Gwendoline Krumins_Forest Floor Adornment

Forest Floor Adornment, Gwendoline Krumins

Sunday 13th April, from 1pm

Join us for a demonstration of oil painting focusing on texture and detail with award winning artist Gwendoline Krumins VAS.

Gwendoline’s subject matter has usually originated from inspirations of overseas travel and portraiture but has developed into observing windows closer to home during lockdowns. Solace and creativity came from surrounding subjects whilst walking each day noticing the gardens evolving through the seasons. Gwendoline has won numerous awards, including the 2021 Artist of the Year, commendations, and has judged many art exhibitions.
