Hi, I'm Rosie from Hutton Art Society and I have wielded a pencil from as far back as I can remember!
These days, however, I like to experiment with different styles and media, rather than concentrating on one form alone.
I am looking forward to bringing over a small selection of my work this Saturday morning.

🎨 Meet Our August Market Artist – Lyn Bruce
We're delighted to welcome Lyn Bruce to the Hutton Art Society stall at our August market.
Lyn enjoys exploring a wide range of subjects, from expressive figures and family scenes to vibrant still life and striking contemporary works. Her paintings are full of bold colour, texture and personality, with each piece capturing a unique moment or emotion.
Whether you're drawn to colourful modern art, figurative painting or something a little different, be sure to stop by and see Lyn's collection. You might just find a piece that speaks to you!
We look forward to seeing you at the market and introducing you to Lyn's artwork.

Meet Rob Weight on Saturday July 4th!
Rob joined Hutton Art Society in 1990, originally looking for a social activity and a chance to improve his artistic skills. Although he had always enjoyed drawing, painting was something new to him.
His first attempts were in watercolours, and as he says, his technique was "completely wrong!" Thankfully, with encouragement and guidance from the chairman at the time and a fellow member, he soon found his feet and discovered a real enjoyment for painting.
Over the years, Rob has experimented with pastels, watercolours and acrylics, with acrylics becoming his favourite medium. He enjoys the flexibility they offer, especially when colours become a little "muddy" – particularly the greens, as his wife is always quick to point out! He prefers detailed, traditional-style painting rather than bold, loose work, and is always happy to pick up new tips from the Society's demonstration evenings.
Outside the art group, Rob was honoured to be asked by the local councillor to paint the names of the First World War fallen soldiers onto the poppies displayed on the lamp posts around Hutton village for Armistice Day in 2018.
Rob greatly admires the work of traditional artists such as Constable and Turner and also appreciates the Impressionists. Modern abstract art, however, isn't really for him!
For Rob, one of the greatest pleasures of Hutton Art Society is the weekly opportunity to paint, chat, learn, and enjoy the company of good friends. His artwork reflects his love of detail, traditional landscapes, and local scenes, as shown in these beautiful paintings.

Meet Rosina Marshall – joining us on Saturday 4 July!
Rosina has worked with soft pastels and pastel pencils for many years, creating beautiful artwork that captures the character and detail of animals. She especially enjoys drawing wildlife, and the softness of pastels allows her to bring fur and feathers to life.
Alongside her wildlife art, Rosina is regularly commissioned to create treasured portraits of much-loved pets, from cats and dogs to even the occasional guinea pig!
Her work has been exhibited and sold at the Avant Garden Centre, the The Harris Museum, and most recently at The Atkinson as part of the Hutton Art Society exhibition.
Come along on Saturday 4 July to meet Rosina, see her wonderful pastel artwork, and have a chat about her creative process. We look forward to welcoming her!

Many of you will know Chrissy for her colourful glass work, but recently she's been turning her hand to a whole range of self-sufficient creative projects.

Over the last year, she's been growing vegetables, making useful items for the home, and experimenting with traditional crafts. Her latest project has been a wool blanket, woven on a loom she made herself from an old bed frame and a collection of push pins!

Proof that with a little imagination, almost anything can be transformed into something beautiful and useful.
