Really enjoyed virtual Patchings so far. This morning I listened to David Hatwood, it was very informative. This afternoon I’ve enjoyed Adebanji’s demonstration, sketching of a homeless man from a photo. Fabulous, and I didn’t get rained on or needed my wellies.....

Just watching Adibanji drawing a homeless man. A brilliant sketch and I’ve never seen so much enthusiasm from any artist, infectious In fact, a great demo!

Yes indeed! He’s asked for our drawings of the same homeless man, so he’s put the photo on the website. Then he wants to see our efforts, so I’ll give it my best shot tomorrow and email it over to him - anyone else having a go?

I really enjoyed watching many of the excellent live demonstrations in the Patchings 'virtual festival'. I was particularly interested to see David Curtis paint a portrait of 'The Artist' editor Sally, and of course the brilliantly expressive drawing demo of a homeless man by Adibanji - wonderful stuff! There was plenty of other things going on over the two days, something to keep most of us interested I imagine! And I know that a lot of hard work went into making this virtual event a success, so my thanks to Dawn in particular. I was delighted to be asked to make a small contribution to the event, demonstrating two oil painting views of Patchings in step-by-step demonstrations, which I hope a few of you found interesting - it was great to be a small part of it!

I thought the virtual festival was a great success. It managed somehow to capture something of the atmosphere of the " real" event. Perhaps this was helped by the informal interviews with some of the tutors and judges, David Curtis in particular, who showed us around their workspaces. Also, obviously, the live demos. But I'm looking forward to taking my time to watch the videos, especially Jenny Aitken's, whose work I love. So, yes, many thanks to all those who set this up, you produced something very interesting to " attend", all those different elements which appealed on many different levels. 😀👍🏻
