This is very exciting and I’m definitely interested. I’ve never participated in an art club.

I've not been to an art club before, either online or in person. Is it a lesson that we follow along, or an arty chat that we listen to while doing our own thing? If you had a taster you could share, that would be very helpful.

In our online art club you'll find a video each session where Linda and I will demonstrate techniques for you, we'll also talk about art, a little art history and share some downloadable image references that you might like to work from.

Yes please. I'm in (once I've finished moving house/relocating).

And once you've discovered where your art stuff is packed away! Good luck with the move.

OOOO that's sounds exciting. Yes please - I'll certainly be joining in. It gets a bit lonely working on your own! Will there be a chance to discuss our own work - will you be having the odd visiting artist (they don't have to be odd, but it helps!)?

Hi Laura

I know I registered my interest but that was before we moved. I THINK I've registered and paid but I'm not sure now🤔

Hi Karen, I think I've just seen notification of your sign up in my inbox. If you login in to your account on https://designmatters.thinkific.com and click My Dashboard it should be there on that page somewhere near the top. Let me know if you need any help. Laura

Do you have to upgrade to paid subscription to join art club?

Laura Kemshall's avatar

No not at all, Substack posts is completely separate to the Art Club. If there's anything else I can help with do ask 😊

Thanks for posting a link. I'm interested but when checking COURSE CURRICULUM and what I'd need - there is no info. I'm leaving town soon and would need to pack up these items. Help?

Hi Ann, Great to hear you're interested in Art Club. We'll be adding more info on what's in each session as soon as we can. The sessions will vary in terms of the techniques we're using and therefore the requirements. Our main aim though is to make everything at Art Club accessible and try to use materials that we all already have, or at least, that you can use similar, if you don't have quite what we are using. In the first session for instance we'll be using watercolours, but you can switch in acrylics if you prefer, or even some leftover Procion dye, or inks.

I hope this helps a bit. I can't really provide an exhaustive list of everything you'll need, but a good start would be a nice sketchbook that you're happy with, something to draw with - pens or pencils, whatever you prefer, and some paints, watercolours and/or acrylics, but just a few colours.
