25.01.2022 Pics from my Prismacolor Pencil Demo workshop at Randwick Art Society a few days back. Thank you to those for coming, taking care and practicing our social dist...ancing! Next week's ArtGraf Water Soluble Drawing Demo/Workshop at RAS - RLI has been cancelled due to the current circumstances of Covid19, we need to be mindful of the welfare of our members and visitors. Hopefully we can reschedule the workshop for later in the year, will keep you posted. Keep painting, drawing and smiling! A good time to stay home and work on a masterpiece! #nikikoepplart #randwickartsociety #artdemo #artworkshop #prismacolour #prismacolorpencils #illustration #artist #sydneyartist #sydneyworkshop

23.01.2022 In these difficult times, artists support each other and we would like to advise you of the Online Open Art Prize hosted by Drummoyne Art Society. One entry per artist with 4 cash awards. Good luck.

22.01.2022 Dear Members Taking into account the advice of Government regarding Covid19 and group meetings, we need to be mindful of the welfare and health of our members and visitors. After much thought and consideration the committee has decided to suspend all meetings and activities at RLI until further notice. We have also reluctantly decided to cancel our Annual exhibition in May. Refunds will be made to those members who have already forwarded their entry.... These are unprecedented times and we cannot know just how long these disruptions will last but the committee will keep you informed of any changes. As artists we are so lucky to be able to follow our creative interests in our homes. We can use this time to complete work for future exhibitions, try some new techniques, paint/draw self portraits - human and pets in your house. To try and help our members stay connected the committee have suggested a Sketch-a-day project. This project will be on the Whats On section on our website. For a month every day, you select and paint/draw the one word on the list attached. I wish good health for you and your families and we look forward to a time where we can meet and share our love of art. Kind regards Maria Kapodistrias President On behalf of Committee

19.01.2022 Vale Marilyn Kime Marilyn was a founding member of Randwick Art Society in 2009 and as such was a driving force in establishing our presence in the eastern suburbs. At her funeral service on Friday, Jim Kime, her husband said he was the luckiest man in the world to have shared his life with Marilyn. ... We could say the same, as Marilyn was welcoming to new members, hardworking, enjoyed being involved in Committee work and in the role of Treasurer. Marilyn was an accomplished landscape painter and loved painting the sea and mountains as was evident by all the work she exhibited in our exhibitions. We shall really miss her and thank her for the wonderful contribution she gave to our group.
