aefx- arite, looking forwards to see ya tomorrow
ship- until i can scratch up some gold for a membership, prolly will not be joining the tower guys... been busy with course(crap)work lately, so even weekends are a bummer :S

[applecheeks]

Hi guys! I've just moved down to London and am also going to the MADE symposium. I'd love to meet anyone else who's going beforehand though - Sleep, applecheeks, i'm looking at you guys :) Just texted ghostbrush to confirm if he's going too, and maybe we could have some sketchmeets?
Sounds great by me! I'm based in Cambridge so it's a little bit of a trek but not too bad. I'll be going into London on Thursday the 29th to do a workshop anyway. Is there anything going on in the evening that we could have a sketch meet at?

[shipwight]

depends if u folks want another nandos before the maybank hols...

[B-zilla]

fraid I'm not going to be back in the UK til the 10th of May... we should have one before the symposium too though :)

Shipwight, are you going to Tower of London again this weekend perchance?

[shipwight]

Belinda > not sure yet. High chance of working in the studio or outdoors. Will blog/CA it depending on weather

[B-zilla]

oh btw, applecheeks, are you going to the GGD Scifi london event? http://scifi-london.eventbrite.com/ ? It's free to attend , the theme is british women of manga and it's also on the evening of the 29th! I'd really like to go and network but I'm out of the country :( But if you decide to go, let me know how it goes and hopefully I can be at the next one!

[applecheeks]

@Belindi: Oh I know the speakers in that panel! I didn't realise it was on the 29th. I'll definitely consider it seeing as I'll be around the corner anyway. :)

[Aberzheim]

apple- i dont mind meeting up in the afternoon and going for the meet, free on thurs
ship- my no. below if ya need it

07935856039- shoot me a message wher'd ya wanna meet up, your call

[aefx]

For the London people, especially DaveC, Brandon, Sukh, etc.. I just noticed that today the Mall Gallery will have RI members demonstrating their water colour skills. I thought this might be quite interesting because the Gallery is full to the brim with amazing water colour paintings. I'm currently debating on whether or not to leave work early to check this out. Unfortunately this is the only info I have:

Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours - Art Event Evening
Wed 28 April 2010, 5pm - 8pm

Members of the Institute will demonstrate their different watercolour techniques.

Admission £7 payable at the door (concessions £5, including FBA Friends)
http://www.mallgalleries.org.uk/index.php?pid=118

[applecheeks]

Aberzheim: Cheers mate! I'm probably going to that talk Belindi linked to though. Next time! :)

[Aberzheim]

Aefx- thanks for the link! ill be busy today tho =( so will have to give this a no-show unfortunately
apples- right-o! :D

[Molly]

aefx - that looks very interesting! Hope your well mate and still painting! mx

[0blivionisathand]

Hey people, my name's Ben and I've been hanging around here for a bit. Come thursday I'll be in London for about a week and was wondering if anything's going down. Would be nice to introuduce myself to your little posse. Cheers!

[aefx]

We could do a Nandos meetup, been long enough since the last one. Additionally it may be nice for those going to Made from London to have a chance to meetup before Berlin. What do you guys think? Ship, DaveN, Aber, Badger?

[shipwight]

thursday is good

[Aberzheim]

tomorrow, or next thurs?
im busy this week, but should be free by next thurs if we're having another round o' chikens

[B-zilla]

I'll definitely be up for meeting next thurs as I'll be in Sweden til Monday! :D

[Fluffgar]

Okay, I have been on the forums in ages. Anyone up in Scotland by any chance?
Um?.. That's, "No.", then, is it?

[vaughany_boy]

Nandos next week sounds appealing to me


Um?.. That's, "No.", then, is it?
@Fluffgar: I'm sure there are some folks dotted around up there somewhere, you might get more of a response in the Scotland thread :) (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=185560)

[sleep]

[aefx]

What day is 0blivion available this week? Wednesday?

[Mr Man]

Just quickly popping in here to show that i'm still alive.

Once uni is over in the next couple of months and I head back up to the midlands I'm going to try and arrange regula ish meets in the midlands area. Everyone seems to be either north or south based, so Ill try and gather some local troops and see what the outcome is. Just firing this thought out while Im thinking about it.
I'll also try and show my face in london more often, when money permits. I'm dying to go on a museum binge :)

Happy arting

Rich.

[Aberzheim]

sleep- your call, shawn, if its wed ill have to give it a miss, but any other day this week's fine

[0blivionisathand]

I leave London wednesday 9pm, so anytime before then.

[Smashed_Pumpkin]

Hey guys and girls, I'm moving from Manchester to London over the summer to start a post-grad in Animation although I don't know anyone in that part of the woods! Is there a regular sketch group that gets together and if so are new commers welcome? Would be cool to get to know the art crowd down there.

[sleep]

smashed pumpkin: i duno how regular it is but anyone and everyone is welcome

well excluding today i dont think ill get a chance to see you ben i just realised, my birthdays on wednesday and ill be with my girlfriend on tuesday :(

[Smashed_Pumpkin]

Cheers Sleep, I've never been part of a sketch group to be honest but it sounds like good fun. I'll have to lurk here for a while and get to know some of you guys in time for moving to the big L.

Are there a lot of graduates here? Would be quite cool if some one else from my course was on here.
Just in case... I'm starting Character Animation Postrgrad-Dip at Central St. Martins in September.

[Aberzheim]

Smashed- awesome- im doing Fine Arts in St Martins, but over at Byam Shaw campus, nice to know someone else from there

Sleep- will everyone be alright with a thurs meet then?

[0blivionisathand]

That's alright. To be fair I'm pretty busy but the end of term is near so I'll be free during the week. I'll let yous know!

[aefx]

Sleep- will everyone be alright with a thurs meet then?Yeah sounds good, will be there probably around 7.

[Aberzheim]

Hiya Rich, where abouts in the midlands?

[Mr Man]

Angel Intheuk I'm going to be based in a place called Redditch which is between stratford upon avon and Birmingham. I'm guessing Birmingham will be the best place to arrange meets, but this is uber early days.

[krossj]

hi people!

going down to London on thurs and just curious as to if there is anything on which is worth a look? got some plans of what to visit but does anyone know any good anatomy museums or exhibitions, human as well as animal that are down there? looking to get some reference, so photography allowed would be cool, seen a few online but unsure which ones are worth a visit?

cheers

[Call0ps]

definitely the natural history museum!! its a must!

[vaughany_boy]

definitely the natural history museum!! its a must!

Definately.

And if you're a fan of weird things in jars (and who isn't)The Hunterian Museum (http://www.rcseng.ac.uk/museums) is always worth a look. No photography tho :(

[Aberzheim]

V&A, coz them lines arent as long as the Nat Hist on bad days - -"
otherwise, Soane Museum.... its nearby the Hunterian for some oldskool busts and an oldworld house feel

[krossj]

cheers folks! will try and visit all of them

[shipwight]

Will be digital plein aire painting in the tower bridge/tower of london area tommorow AM

[Aberzheim]

ship- might catch ya tomorrow- ill give a call if i can make it

kross - !!!! sux to have missed you, man, it would be great to finally meet. anyway, hope you're doing well...your works are looking great.

[Call0ps]

まじかよ？！　hey man, nice to hear that you coming over =D i dont think theres anything scheduled for that week. but every friday some people meet at the V&A at 2, and later around 5 there life drawing at the Mall Galleries.

we can always try to arrange something for the occasion =)

[Call0ps]

brandon, james the info about the auction.

for all who interested =)
( from underpaintings.blogspot.com )

Next month, Christie's Auction House, London is having an auction of Victorian & British Pictures Including Drawings & Watercolours. The sale looks amazing, with art created by such notables as Edward Seago, Sir George Clausen, Ford Maddox Brown, The Hon. John Collier, Sir Alfred James Munnings, Sir Edward Colely Burne-Jones, Frederic Lord Leighton, John William Godward, Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, Sir Edward John Poynter, John William Waterhouse, Herbert James Draper, Edmund Blair Leighton, Thomas Cooper Gotch, Sir John Lavery, James Tissot, Sir John Everett Millais, and Philip Alexius de László. To see such names in a sale with only 108 lots indicates what a strong offering this is, especially since several of the artists mentioned have multiple pieces in the auction.
The sale will take place at Christie's London facility at 8 King Street, St. James's, on June 16th. Previews run June 12th and 13th from 12 PM to 5 PM, June 14th from 9AM to 4:30 PM, and June 15th from 9 AM to 8PM.

[purb36]

callops - maji yo. not sure what all's going on, but i hope i can meet up with some peoples. if not this time, than next time. where can i find info on the life drawing?


btw, there's a london-wide "exhibition" called the Elephant Parade (http://www.elephantparadelondon.org/) to raise awareness for endangered asian elephants (http://www.elephantfamily.org/)...my girlfriend is one of the artists that participated, and her elephant (Dandy-phant) is in St. Pancras station. please check it out if you get a chance! more info here. (http://ellenandersonart.blogspot.com/)

[Call0ps]

purb36 every friday , starting at 6:00 ( i would strongly advice to be there at least 5:30! ) at the mall galleries theres a life drawing session ( some times is monday but they do warn a week before ) every info you need to know at www.mallgalleries.org.uk =) hope to see u there=D

[sleep]

mite come mall galleries some time. found out that i can get to trafalgar sq and back one bus each way which is really cheap and convenient because it takes me from the atelier and drops me off near my house on the way back woo. new tfl google maps bus thing is sick

[shipwight]

I thought it was more of mall galleries most mondays, but every now and then fridays?

[Call0ps]

shipwight i think its the all the way around, most fridays, every now and then mondays , at least nows like that

[dcorc]

I thought it was more of mall galleries most mondays, but every now and then fridays?

No. The Mall Galleries sessions are usually on Fridays. They nominally start at 6pm, but in reality, people are setting up from 5.30pm onwards. Occasionally, Friday sessions are cancelled (depending on what else is happening in the Gallery), and so there are occasional Monday sessions, same times, to make up. You can have one session for free, but then further sessions are by annual subscription, paid up front, about £200 for the whole year, and on a sliding scale as the year progresses (renewals are payable in Dec/Jan), see http://www.mallgalleries.org.uk/index.php?pid=120&subid=2

Some of us have been meeting up in the sculpture gallery of the V&A about 2pm before going on the Mall Gallery. It's drifted in recent weeks, but if people are interested, some of us could do it more regularly again. Drawing from sculptures is good life-class practice.

[Molly]

Hello everyone!

[Black Spot]

Hi Molly. Are you nearly exploding?

Everyone contact Nick Clegg (I did earlier) to get Clause 43 of the Digital Economy Bill repealed. It comes into force on the 12 June. ACT NOW.

[Roboko]

Lolz, "the regulation of the use of the electromagnetic spectrum", since when did they think they had control over the laws of physics. I hope clause 43 gets repealed, the orphan works thing is ridiculous.

For the mall galleries it says you have to show a portfolio before getting accepted to join, to what quality do they want the work to be in?

[Aberzheim]

Roboko- as long as youre comfortable with drawing the figure from life, and proportions are there, youre in the clear
Molly- oh hai thar :D
sleep- cool beans bro, hope youll be able to drop by for a session :D
call- thanks for the Christie's link

[Badger]

24th of July i'm possibly getting some of the oxfordshire folk to go drawing at the newly reopened top gallery at pitt rivers, just a heads up incase you want to pencil it in.

Also, how are you all? is everyone still alive around the country?

I would definitely be interested in meeting up for a sketch, I really enjoyed my last trip to Pitt Rivers, I thought it was fantastic.

[shipwight]

Anyone fancy a Summer Nandos - June 17th??
I will demonstrate my digital plein aire rig early in the evening as well

[Aberzheim]

badger- sounds interesting... i might be able to join the oxford posse o'er at top
ship- hmm, i dont mind but it'll be a min size sketch-shift- some will be gone for the MADE thang

[B-zilla]

ship- that sounds awesome! I'd really like to see you in action but unfortunately I'll be at the MADE thing. If you're free to do it the week after though, I'll be there in a heartbeat!

[aefx]

Just thought I'd post a link to the blog I was talking about the other day. Call, Aber, and Bel: http://grandcentralacademy.blogspot.com/ Looks like an amazing place to learn.

Belindi, if you get a chance you should check out the de Lazlo exhibit at the Nation Portrait Gallery, it's small but amazing.

Also, who's going to check out the auction preview at Christie's? I'm up for going on Saturday the 12th.

[shipwight]

How does Nandos 23rd June sound to everyone so far..

[Call0ps]

aefx that looks Amazing! amazing website matte. and btw i would be able to go to the preview on Saturday as well =D

[Aberzheim]

oooh, ta for the link James! Yeah, some pretty sweet figurative and portraits from their student shows

I'm in for the 12th as well to Christie's

ship- fine by me- anyone else okay for the 23rd?

[Roboko]

Have any of you been to the wallace collection (http://www.wallacecollection.org/thecollection/collections/armsandarmour) in London? There's a massive collection of old armor, guns and swords etc from medieval england, India, Persia etc, would be useful research for you concept artists

[aefx]

Ship: 23rd sounds nice.

For Christies, what time works best for you guys? I'm guessing the earlier the better, may be crowded? Also, I want to get to the pub with enough time to see the England/USA worldcup game :D

[Call0ps]

23rd? i think this time ill be able to go! =D

aefx, yeah, earlier sounds good but is only opens at 12pm, and btw usa will lose =p

[Aberzheim]

Roboko- yeh, once on a cold autumn evening - -" lol, it was nice though
aefx, jodi- ack, i can only make it on the sun, not sat =( sorry mateys

btw, USA! USA! USA! :D

[Call0ps]

no worries matte, hey usa has a lot great stuff but football aint one of them =p

[Molly]

Actually a good friend of mine who is an amateur artist herself(she has a normal day job) is in UK(london) for the next 2 and a half months. And she wants to meet a few of you guys(the pros.) there(just a meet up or maybe studio visit). So can anything like that happen?
Thanks for reading guys.

( info from http://underpaintings.blogspot.com/2010/06/upcoming-auction-preview-sothebys.html ( a great art blog for those who dont know) )

[shipwight]

Recently Kojima was ere' for the signin of ze new Peace Walker thingy, but ah missed it. Bumer!

If nandos occurs on 23rd, I reckon it'll be the evening time 7pm at Southwark. Just dont know if there are any takers. I guess there is always life drawing meets if folksa re still going to that?

btw Callops - what happens at these christie auction thingies...

[Call0ps]

shipwight i dont think the Cristies auction preview is up, the actual auction was in the 16th so by now "everything" has been sold. but you still can see some works at their website (http://www.christies.com/LotFinder/searchresults.aspx?intSaleID=22746#&&intSaleID=22746&sid=d7a35cad-fc0f-459b-a5a1-f7e8fc371c00&pg=1) =D

[Aberzheim]

ship- there will be people for the Nandos meet, they usually come after 8
call- man, gotta thank you for links to the last show- the Orientalist stuff there was rad as hell! :D

Nando's London Bridge Sketchmeet tomorrow 23rd! 7pm onwards, look for tables with sketchbooks :yayca:

[shipwight]

there i ONE slight problem.

There is a 3 day tube strike affecting norther, piccadilly and jubilee line starting from tomorrow evening till friday.

might be best to postphone it?

[B-zilla]

oh what! ... trust London transport to screw up a perfectly good plan :P
I leave for sweden on saturday morning so i guess I'll have to miss this one if it's postponed til next week. There's always next time though!

Hopefully see you guys on friday at HH life drawing, if not tomorrow.

[dcorc]

Hi Belindi - next HH session is Friday 2nd July - see http://www.mallgalleries.org.uk/index.php?pid=118

All being well, I'm in Belgium for the Kassan workshop, for July. Back in August.

Dave

[B-zilla]

Ah.. Thanks for the heads up, Dave! I guess we'll see you in august then :) Have an awesome time in Belgium!

[shipwight]

The tube strike if it goes ahead (we will know around 2pm_ starts from 7pm today and ends on friday 7pm, and with weekend tube closures, reaches into a hell 5 day blockade if the militant ultra terrorist bob crowe gets his way - strike, because we can.

[Aberzheim]

ship- okay. If by 2 the strike's on, then we'll just postpone it till next week
dcorc- have a great one in Belgium! will be curious to see what awesome stuff the lot are up to at the workshop

[aefx]

Callops: USA finished the group stages at the top of the group, ahead of England. Oooo :D

Everyone should be like this while drawing: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/video/2010/jun/20/paul-trevillion-world-cup-2010-capello

[Aberzheim]

so, what do people say about the nandos meet later on? should we postpone till next week?

[B-zilla]

Good question! I was just about to leave the house but decided to check the thread once more. I'm up for it and it looks like the tube's running as perusual.

It's going to take me a good hour to get there so fingers crossed someone else will show up! :)

[Aberzheim]

Arite then, ill be there by 7:30... tube should be alright im guessing, and the buses are thankfully running as normal

see y'll there then :D will try and book table by the window if possible

[gutss]

Hey lovely UK people! My sister lives in Camberwell, London and I should be popping down at least once during the summer. Not sure when, but when I do it'd be brill if I could weedle myself along to do some arty jamming with you lot :D

[cas]

Wow, Molly!!!!

Huge congratulations on the twins. We haven't talked for so long that I'm totally surprised by the news. :D

I'll get in touch shortly via email to find out how you're getting on.

Actually, my main purpose of this post was to let everyone know that the "mixed-reality" game I've been working on, 'Gbanga Famiglia', is finally available in the U.K. (as well as Germany, Switzerland, Poland and Austria). Worldwide release to follow shortly!

The game is free to download from www.gbanga.com for iPhone and Java-based phone like Sony Ericcson and Nokia. The more players we get to sign-up the better, so your support is much appreciated! :)

Many thanks in advance
Chris

[daveneale]

Need to check in here more often-looks like I've missed a chicken or two....Up for more doodle outings in the summer. I was wandering the city (as in the square mile city) late the other night and there are myriad awesome locations for night doodles, and now that it's warm it'd be a great place to get some DS/Portable laptop sketches done. Will continue to dip my head in and keep up with events

-D

[Aberzheim]

Heya, popping by to say that the BP Portrait Awards 2010 paintings are up in the NPG- check them out! some nice portraits in the bunch, esp some of the large scale paintings up

[shipwight]

make the best of it as night falls around 9pm atm

[yAdam]

Hey Uk people. Making a visit in here to tell you all that some of us think it's a good idea for a super meet sometime soon....

No dates and no place considered yet, but any ideas welcome. If anyone sees this and has something amazing to throw down, go for it. Seeing as it's already a bit into summer i'm suggesting the middle of september.

I'll stick this up on the facebook page as well, to see if there's any response.

Also, congrats Molly!!!!!!!

[lefran]

indeed, another meet needs to happen its been something like a year since the last one right?
It's not actually been london for a while, that would be good, how about some time this month or next month? Or Oxford again as badger said the pitt rivers museum section is opening again, any preferences?

[Bones Weep Tedium]

London would be fun, but I'm still looking forward to visiting the Pitt Rivers again -- what date did Badger propose again? End of July wasn't it?

[daveneale]

As a lazy Londoner I'm gonna throw in my big smoke vote. There are a bunch of awesome spots around here for sketching. If we get in before the sun decides it no longer wants to come play it might be nice to hit Regents park/Camden lock/the canals as they're all fairly well connected and have some pretty bits in each.

[Aberzheim]

London fer me as well, but dont mind Oxford if enough people are going there

[Tom Fenton]

whens the next meet and where im well up for it im based near wolverhampton

[shipwight]

Dont mind either. Loads of free sketching potential as long as weather holds nicely!

[sleep]

throwing my vote in for london

[Aberzheim]

Yo, a quick heads up to mention about the Wyeth exhibition in West Dulwich:

'The Wyeth Family: Three Generations of American Art'
9 June- 22 Aug
Dulwich Picture Gallery

http://www.dulwichpicturegallery.org.uk/exhibitions/now_on_show/the_wyeth_family.aspx

The gallery is just outside London, 13 mins train ride from London Bridge, or bus from Brixton, what else to say, its Wyeth spam! :D anyone interested in going as a group on one of the weekends?

[Koto]

I'm interested!

Dave's back around the 30th of July so we can arrange to go then if you're cool with waiting a few weeks.

[Molly]

Aberziehm - thanks for the heads up on the Wyeth exhibit - me thinks a trip to London is on the books....

(ooh, look at me, 'trip to London' I've never had to say that before in my life! haha)

Mx

[tehmeh]

I muuuust attend the next meet and meet you all and get sketching!

[Aberzheim]

koto- yeah, im cool with that, would be nice to get an earlier meetup cause Callops is leaving like mid july fer summer break, but the 30th sounds fine

badger, ship, daveneale- any news yet deciding on the location for the big ol' sketchmeet?

[vaughany_boy]

Throwing my hat in too for a London meet soon.

Been far too long since I've sponged off you guys for doodle-tips ;)

[Call0ps]

Im leaving in 19th and coming back at end of September, so anytime before i leave would be a bless ='D if not , have fun for me as well =)

koto are you back in town ?

[Koto]

You told me you were going away earlier!? Sheeeet, I might come down next weekend if you guys are free, get some plein air in too.

[Aberzheim]

koto- your call next week mate, mayb we could meet up at the Wyeth show- been a while since the last sketchmeet *art muscle depleted!* :D

[Call0ps]

koto btw u want anything from japan? as long is not heavy, too big and expensive lol... feel free matte!

[lefran]

ok a few of us CA type folk are going to be in london on 24th and 25th July ( almost sure that will be the dates) so, seeing as we'd be in london then anyway, would anyone be opposed to making those the dates?

Saturday 24th July London Meet

yay? nay?


EDIT: Lots of people are busy, so some time in august?

[shipwight]

Sunday 25th pls

[tehmeh]

I believe Saturday's trains suit us guys who have to travel in more

[Aberzheim]

I'll have to take saturday, sun's abit of a stretch

Fran, Daveneale- Camden Locks/Regent Park/canals still?

[lefran]

i guess take a vote! its usually useful to meet somewhere in the centre like the national museum or national portrait gallery, last time i think we met in the wetherspoons by the huntarian? I can't really remember properly but i think well known places are easier to find everyone

[lefran]

if people would rather a later date like in august? Thats also fine

[0blivionisathand]

High Voltage is on that same weekend. August is cool with me though.

[Bendragon]

Ooooooo... a big meet up would be very interesting! I would prob prefer an August date but I dont mind too much. :)

[lefran]

a lot of people seem to be busy that weekend actually

[Aberzheim]

Lefran- try the first week of august, maybe there will be more takers- ill be gone for the second week though, so itll probably be good asking on the 6th or 7th of august

[shipwight]

august. much better. just not august 14-19

[daveneale]

I'm free all but the last week in August....could still do the July weekend if people wanted a mini-meet before one that may follow in August.

Think we met outside/inside the Huntarian last time and the migrated to Weatherspoons-perhaps the National portrait museum (right next to Trafalgar Square) could be a good call? Some sweet stuff in there and it's real easy to find. Alternatively the Crypt cafe opposite the Portrait gallery is a sweet little place where we could slowly gather people-real awesome archways in the basement of St Martin's in the Fields. It's a good space where a group could meet and not be bothered too much if we were hanging around for a bit.

-D

[tehmeh]

August would suit me much better. A question - how will I know who to look for if I've not been before?

[Bendragon]

Teh.Meh - If they are armed with a sketchbook they are one of us :P

[sleep]

yh get someones number jus in case. but u can tell a ca'er by the sketchbook, simples!

[Mon Chat]

hello!
I'll be there for sure if I can make it :D

[Koto]

I've booked my tickets so this Saturday we can hit the Wyeth! Weathers turned to ass but if it picks up we can get some sketching in before or after we visit the exhbition.


koto- your call next week mate, mayb we could meet up at the Wyeth show- been a while since the last sketchmeet *art muscle depleted!* :D

Callops> Get me some Artbooks! :D

[sleep]

looks like i missed that then . anyone going to wyeth some other time?

[Koto]

You're in luck! There was a change of plan so we're going tomorrow. Meeting at London Bridge at 10:30am and then heading off to Dulwich, would be awesome if you could make it, Sean. (love emoticon)

[sleep]

ok where in london bridge? might be more convenient for me to meet you at dulwich do u know what time ull get there?

[Koto]

LB Tube station. I'm guessing we'd be there a bit before 11.

[sleep]

ill be at dulwich picture gallery "a bit before 11"

[Aberzheim]

Right, be seeing y'all there tomorrow as well

[sleep]

sleep- yeh, seen Wes' grayscale, you were right about Barber's alla prima paintings now that ive seen them, pm when ya wanna do another round o studies at the Wyeth exhibition

Any news on the big ol' London meetup?

[shipwight]

btw there is now sergeant at sea exhibit on in london. Planning to head there next weekend or two

[daveneale]

Awesome...where is it at?...if I'm free, I'm in

[flurry]

You might have over heard me talking about the Velazquez book i'm reading (as recommended by Giles from LARA!!)
Talks about his brushwork, modelling, colour, composition and his life etc.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1103959654/ref=ord_cart_shr?ie=UTF8&m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

EDIT: Dave: I think the Sergeant on Sea is at Dulwich Gallery iirc

[aph]

Sargent is at the Royal Academy, where else?

Its not free, its nice, totally different side of his work, so don't expect to have seen much of it or see many faces.

[Aberzheim]

Nice seeing those who came by the Malls gallery view today :D

daveneale- the actual Sargent at Sea exhibition is at the Royal Academy, a talk on the exhibition is held at the Dulwich Gallery this Thursday
flurry- That Velaz book seems really good- RAM Stevenson books are like gold dust nowadays, so a reprint is very valuable

[aefx]

Brandon and Belinda: it was great seeing your works yesterday in the Mall galleries. Hopefully I'll see you guys friday, wouldn't mind getting a crit or two from ya ;)

Ship: They have a massive aviation painting exhibition at the mall galleries right now, I thought it may interest you.

[sleep]

just a heads up guys. sargent at the ra is very very very worth a tenner. whereas the ra summer show is the biggest pile of shite i have had the misfortune of seeing in a long time. i got in for free and i still feel cheated.

aviation paintings at mall galleries was a let down too and bp portrait awards still hasnt shaken off its taste for washed out silvery crap. 2 or 3 things in there which were cool tho. belinda was that ur drawing behind the deluge of planes at pall mall? could spot the lara flair from a mile off :)

[sleep]

whos gona sort out an august london meet then lol

did we come up with a date?

[Ghostbrush]

right now man we all at a mental Uk meet party up in Soho bro! where are you? everyones here!

[Klaasillu]

Is this still going on? I'm living in London and would very much like to meet you all up, if possible. Let me know. Cheers.

[Ghostbrush]

Klaasillu - My last post was tongue in cheek, a joke if you will

[Klaasillu]

I am well aware of that, Ghostbrush. Thanks for the dearest of the clarifications, though. That aside --and on a less sarcastic tone-- what I intended to know was whether or not meetings are still on the active, and if yes, where at and how frequent these take place?

Regards,
Klaasillu

[lefran]

well i'm gonna absolve myself of arranging this one, i was in london this weekend to see people, which was why i tried to get a CA meet up to happen at the same time because its kind of expensive for me to get there, but i do appreciate people were busy
If i have some spare money then i'll come to a CA meet in August but i don't want to arrange it to not be able to go

edit: if you see i've deleted posts, it was just because CA decided to triple post

[Klaasillu]

How exactly do these work? Are there any requirements, any specific locations, or the likes? I'd love to see one of these happening, preferably around London as that would mean no ta-da-wasting-money :) However, if people decide it should be elsewhere in the UK, I'll consider --depending on the mood of Mr.MoneyPocket here.

[lefran]

for the larger meets as in people who might travel in for it, basically a bunch of people from CA turn up, sketch, drink, sketch, drink, eat , sketch and that kind of thing. Usually meet at a gallery or museum and stay there to sketch for a while, If its nice out then maybe sit outside and sketch somewhere, and inevitably end up in nandos or somewhere to eat and sketch some more.
No requirements, it's very informal just like friends getting together kind of thing, and the opportunity to meet new people etc,
theres no specific schedule or events planned for these things, usually just played by ear depending on where people fancy going

[Ghostbrush]

no sarcasm intended :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDDD ya get me?

[danlambert]

I must attend one of these legendary Soho gatherings as soon as funds allow, they sound smashing!

[Ghostbrush]

too big! we partyed till the sun came up and then drew it! in realtime! believe that

[Klaasillu]

Ghostbrush, the sarcasm note was meant towards my humble commends on your clarification. With most absolute and certainty, I too, would enjoy taking part on one of the so said legendary Soho meetings!

[B-zilla]

hey folks! did anyone else just get a massive backlog pile-up of CA posts in their mail box today? I got spammed with subscription posts from up to two weeks ago! Don't know how that happened, but if I had known I'd totally have gone to wyeth with you lot. :( Boohoo. Count me in for the next one if you're planning another visit. I'll try to be on msn more!

Sean- Haha, yeah that was my Lara stenched drawing. I got a few "what, you only used HB" comments duing the private viewing, haha. I was struggling for a name- too I wanted to call her "Bosom Buddy", or my "Well endowed friend". Too tongue in cheek?? I'm hankering to do another long pose at lara but have to come up with funds first!

So when's the next bad-ass sketch meet? I'm going to push for Thursday the 5th of August with a gallery visit beforehand. Too short notice? And is chicken mandatory for these events? when are you leaving again Brandon? Some time before you go would be grand otherwise.

Also, Joni, I'm gonna mail you about helping me get something in Japan if that's cool! Hope you're having a nice time back home. oh, what I'd give to go back....

[Aberzheim]

CA's going all funky at the mo' :S
Belinida- im leaving on the 14th, so I'm still up for another wyeth trip- ill let ya know soon in the week
ghost- awh durnit, i missed the shoho meetsch :D (aww)

lefran- arite then, its time we london ppl organise something for a change!
Is everyone okay for the weekends 7th or 8th of august for a meet then? or even remotely over that week from the 5th onwards

[Call0ps]

belinda feel free to ask me for anything ( as long is not heavy!! )

[0blivionisathand]

Next week is fine with me.

[dcorc]

Back from David Kassan's month long workshop in Belgium - glad to be back in London, it was an eventful trip in some ways, not least when the van that I was in (front passenger seat) was totalled by a falling tree (no-one hurt, amazingly!).

That's young Mr. K-man with the camcorder, pic by courtesy of Christoffer Gertz Bech.

I can reveal the secret of DK's superlative paintings now! (but only to those coming to London meets)

Dave

[Aberzheim]

dcorc- whoa, that is a close shave, luckily no-one was injured. Would you be interested in meeting up for the Wyeth exhibition over the week? would be eager to hear of your workshop experience, and what you have learnt/observed seeing DK painting and his approach.

If anyone's interested, there is a small meet of sorts on Friday 12pm onwards at the Dulwich Picture Gallery (in North Dulwich, trains from London Bridge or buses from Brixton) to see the Wyeth Family Exhibition.

How does this Sat sound for the big ol' London sketchmeet? taking into consideration people outside LDN who can only travel easily to/fro on saturdays

7th August 12pm meetup, then probably wander around central London throughout the day
Location: Crypt Gallery Cafe (St. Martins in the Fields Church, the one opposite the National Gallery, nearby station is Charing Cross)


Otherwise the alternative is an afternoon meetup, followed by a Nandos finale :D

[tehmeh]

Sounds good to me, for those of us outside of london a daytime meetup is more convenient than an evening one. Look forward to meeting everyone!

[vaughany_boy]

This Saturday? OH Great, pick the one weekend that I'm out of town. :P

Guess I'll have to miss it. Nevermind, next time.

[dcorc]

I'd certainly be interested in meeting up, Thursday, to see the Wyeths, and discuss the workshop.


Dave

[B-zilla]

I'm game for thursday and saturday as well! Looking forward to hearing about the workshop, dcorc!

see you guys later this week!

[Angel Intheuk]

Angel Intheuk I'm going to be based in a place called Redditch which is between stratford upon avon and Birmingham. I'm guessing Birmingham will be the best place to arrange meets, but this is uber early days.

Birmingham would be a good spot...or Derby or inbetween, maybe somewhere in the peaks? I'm definitely up for arranging something between now and December (am hoping to afford the Amsterdam workshop...btw does anyone know how and when to book onto that?)

[B-zilla]

@Brandon, Dave and anyone else who's interested in going to the Dulwich Gallery on Thursday- Could we possibly change the date of the visit to Friday afternoon instead? That way we can just go straight to HH afterwards and it'll save on travel costs etc. Poor artist here :(

[Aberzheim]

Belindi- think thats okay- Dave, are you fine with a fri reschedule for the Wyeth exhibition?

[dcorc]

Yes, let's do friday :)

[Stew9]

Hi guys, hope it's not too late but I was thinking of coming to the next London meet with you guys. Is it still happening this weekend or has it been moved?

[Aberzheim]

Stew9- yeh, its still on- see above at an earlier post for the times and place of the meet

[flurry]

I'll be going to Dulwich tomorrow to meet you guys. Probably head to Mall galleries afterwards too.

[B-zilla]

Sweet! the more the merrier and it'll be nice to meet more LARA folk! :D See you artists tomorrow!

[Klaasillu]

Aw. It saddens me to see I'll be missing this one out!

What about getting a meet in London, next time?

:)

[daveneale]

Not gonna be able to make it this Saturday-have fun though guys and I'll catch y'all on the next one

-D

[lefran]

same funds are too low, costs loads in train tickets :( have fun anyway

[tehmeh]

Klaasillu: scroll up and reread the post about London tomorrow

I hope there are gonna be more than 2 or 3 of us!

[Stew9]

Teh.meh: Yeah here should be quite a few of us I reckon. Me and my brother are coming so we'll meet you guys as soon as we find the crypt gallery cafe.

[flurry]

Nice to meet you all on Saturday, very good portraits of moi :)

I'm going to be at the National Gallery from 2pm onwards tomorrow, so feel free to come along for some sketchen.

[tehmeh]

Yes it was a good day and I have been very motivated since, great to meet you all. I can't make tomorrow but any saturdays and wednesdays I would be very interested in going london to do some sketching!

[Aberzheim]

thanks for the meetup on sat y'all, nice to see new and familiar faces :D see y'all in late sept, or probably for the next nandoos

[0blivionisathand]

Thanks for the meetup. Great to see your works, I'll definately be keeping an eye out for anything.. Until next time!

[applecheeks]

Hey guys! This might be a bit off topic but I figured this thread would be the best place to ask this.
Does anyone know a good store in London where I might be able to try my hands on some large Wacom tablets?

I'm looking to upgrade from an A5 wide and am deliberating whether to go for the Intuos4 L or the XL. I've read through quite a lot of threads in the Wacom forum but figured the only way to be sure is to try them.

[Molly]

Hello UK Folk!

Hope your all well and enjoying your holidays or whatever your getting up to.

Question:
How many of you would be interested in TAD if it were to come to London?
Location poll thread here (http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=194350)

6 of you have voted so far, but I am wondering, are there more of you? Have a look in the thread link above. Or reply here your thoughts...

Mx

[Bones Weep Tedium]

Would attending TAD be basically the same thing as going back to uni? Or would it offer shorter workshops like an adult education class?

[Molly]

Bones, its a 30month course, and I think the only short courses are the online ones...

How is everyone today?... we havent had a thunderdome in a while....with ourselves or anyone else....

Mx

[tehmeh]

I would love to thunderdome or attend another meetup with you guys soon!

[Sunseaker]

Anyone in devon/plymouth know of any life drawing classes/fancy a meet up? I'm so booooored.

[Joesus]

Anyone in devon/plymouth know of any life drawing classes/fancy a meet up? I'm so booooored.

There are some life drawing sessions in Tavistock on a Thursday I think, i spoke to one of the models there and she said there are a few around including plymouth...didn't get details though.

I live in yelverton (20 mins busride from plymouth). My email/msn is: [email protected]

[Vatsel]

A sketchmeet in central London - let's get one going, does the 25th sound good?

[Vatsel]

Also, any local London artists are welcome to contact me!
I'll be in Kilburn, a bit north-west of the river, if there's some regular meets going on, I'd love to take part in those :)

-V

[tehmeh]

The 25th sounds good to me vatsel! last meet there was a mention of semiregular meetups but everyone has disappeared! i would be really down for that in london as i really need to be sketching more!

[Ghostbrush]

I am londoner. I sketch. we could sketch. MEGA

[Vatsel]

ghostbrush - yes! I have you on msn, login please.

tehmeh -awesome! lets get this going, I'll need a way to contact you.
you're free to give me a call on 07979 683317 or get in touch through msn/aim/email

Ive read a bit before on this thread that you used to meet up in the national gallery, that would be awesome. So Saturday the 25th in the national gallery?

More ideas are welcome ofc

Let me know!
-V

[B-zilla]

Yup! I'm down for the 25th. I agree that it got a little quiet after the last meet, but if people are interested, a few of us go life drawing at the Mall galleries on a regular basis- normally fridays or mondays. Look up the Hesketh Hubbard society.

Also, I'm down at the V&A, sketching, tomorrow if anyone else's down for that- Ghostbrush, I'm lookin at you boi!

What's the plan for the 25th?

Edit:

National Gallery sounds good, although it can get really crowded this time of year and on a saturday. I'm up for any other suggestions, but National Gallery is a good place to start. Last time we ended up at the Hunterian 20 mins before closing, but it would have been awesome to spend more time there. Maybe that could be another option! Also, any of the other Surgical museums would be a good place to sketch too.

[tehmeh]

Wow, that life drawing is cheap as chips Belindi, how often do you go?

Looking forward to the 25th, I would also love to spend more time in the hunterian.

[B-zilla]

It's cheap right? The only catch is that you have to pay for all sessions in advance til the end of the year. However, it works out really well and gives incentive to go to every session. It's normally once a week, but since there are a few breaks this month, it's going to be monday and friday for a weeks in October. I'm looking forward to 2 sessions a week though. The next session is the 24th if you want to come along for that.

[tehmeh]

Yeah it's a bit less than that for a term's worth at the only life drawing close to me, I'll see you there on the 24th :)

[Sunseaker]

Thanks, I'll send you an email! Tavistock is kinda far but you never know.

[flurry]

Vatsel, tehmeh, Belindi:

I'm free for the 25th, National Gallery was super crowded month back last I went but it'd be interesting to see the Hunterian again.

I wont be able to make tomorrow for the V&A but I go to the Tate Britain on Wednesdays at around 2pm and then drop in at the LARA life drawing in the evening. Anyone's welcome to come along.

[Ghostbrush]

B, i may well see ya at the the v and a today, what time u going?

[FootstepsBeckon]

Hello,all im new here and based in Cardiff, hoi o/

[tehmeh]

Hi FootstepsBeckon! Get a sketchbook going!

Just to let you guys know Civilization V comes out the night before the meet, so don't expect me to be fully conscious

[FootstepsBeckon]

have done tehmeh! :3

[FootstepsBeckon]

so ive had a skim of the thread now...are none of the welsh artists active? i really want to group up/socialise and draw with other folks in my neck of the woods rather than bussing to london back and forth q_q

[lefran]

the only welsh users i was aware of were me ( im in Bristol now though ), Quicksilver and a guy called phill....i can't remember his user name though. Basically my point was that there were never sketch meets in wales that i was aware of, as there aren't many members, few that post anyway
I used to travel to bristol now and then for sketch meets, but those have pretty much stopped in Bristol, seems mostly London who meet up regularly as theres obviously a larger collection of members there

[FootstepsBeckon]

nice to meet you,lefran! id be up for some travel to bristol sometime if you fancy scrapping something together- do you have msn or anything like that?

[lefran]

:) well term hasnt started yet, usually takes a little while to get going, but if we do decide on any sketch meets i'll surely PM you or something!

[Vatsel]

I've talked to a few of you already, so let's get this going :)

On Saturday the 25th, from 11:30 and a few hours afterwards, I'll be drawing in room 36 of the national gallery.
That's the first big room on the right (see map).

1068340

I don't know what the plan will be afterwards, so if you're late call me on
07979 683317

Also, if you're planning to arrive, send me an email/text - it helps me keep things in order :)

See you there!
-V

[FootstepsBeckon]

awh fran,you took the steam outta me sails! i didnt know there was a certain time these things had to be done D:

[tehmeh]

Sorting out my broken phone, will have a mobile number ready to post momentarily - will get there around lunch on Saturday.

[tehmeh]

Alright my new phone number is -snip-

[Vatsel]

Was great meeting everybody!

Stay tuned for the next sketchmeet :)

[Drew Walker]

I'll try and make it to the next meet, sounds like good fun. I'm in Surrey so just a short train ride away !

Going to a life drawing session tommorow at the Quakers Meeting hall (O_O) in Reigate tommorow, £7 for a few hours. It's my first one but i'm sure it'll be a great experience, anyone else ever been to it ?

The name's Drew btw.

[Vatsel]

Heya Loki.! will be great if you make it :)

For the next sketchmeet I'm thinking about the 9th of October (Saturday) at 11:00.
This time I'm looking at the British Museum as our starting point - lots of sculptures to draw there, should be nice.

Let me know if you need a time/location change!

As always, feel free to text me on 07979 683317 if you have any questions or whatever.

[Drew Walker]

Awesome ! Sculptures will slot in perfectly with my college work. I remember drawing some in France, it was fun and I learned loads. I may bring a friend if she wants to go, seeya there !

[Vatsel]

i dnt think ill make it for the oct 9th sketching session =(

[Vatsel]

hmm yeah that dude kicked ass

that is unfortunate Aberzheim, hopefully you'll make it to the next one :)

[Aberzheim]

Anyone interested in going one weekend to see the Salvator Rosa exhibition at the Dulwich Picture Gallery? theres even some kind of nifty art competition attached with the exhibition:

http://dulwichonview.org.uk/rosa-art-competition/

[ccc11]

hey guys,id love to join you, whens the next sketchmeet?

i cant come on oct 9 though :(

[Vatsel]

Hey ccc11!

it would be great if you could join us! too bad you can't make it on the 9th :(

you can try the next meet that will probably be around the 23rd and just keep an eye on this thread if there will be more gatherings.

cya soon :)

[ccc11]

i will def make it around the 23rd, until then i have hopefully settled down in london :-)

[Huba]

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, or home as we call it, doesn't have a desert.

We are getting drier in some parts, e.g. the South East but nowhere as dry as a desert.

Hope that helps.

[Ghostbrush]

@Huba - cool story

[Sylvia H.]

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, or home as we call it, doesn't have a desert.

We are getting drier in some parts, e.g. the South East but nowhere as dry as a desert.

Hope that helps.

Um, yes.

That aside, it'd be so cool to meet some of you, but I live near Birmingham and it's kind of hard for me to get past London or further :( Anyone else in the West Midlands?

[Vatsel]

Heya folks,

Tomorrow, on Saturday the 9th at 11:00 am
We're going to meet in room 18 at the British Museum
Later excursions will be decided during the day

1078797

I've talked to several people from several art forums, seems like we're going to meet some new people - awesome :)

Text me at 07979 683 317 if you're going to arrive to help me keep things in order, and to make sure we won't leave without you.

[Vatsel]

Another short shout out- theres the Glasgow Painters' exhibition in the Royal Academy, starting on the 30th of Oct, a must-see show, and another welcome relief after the horror that is the RA Summer Show

I will be in room 5

I will be in the UK for a couple of weeks in the end of october/beginning of november. Brighton/London/Oxford/Birmingham would make a meetup possible.

ccc11 - Yeah it was pretty good!
Aberzheim - no worries mate :)
Slash - check out the sketchmeet on the 23rd (sat) a bit above on the page.
