Roy Lang Seascape in Oil

The Gentleman on the left holding the picture is Reg Marsh and the gentleman on the right is Roy Lang the artist who painted this seascape and presented it to Reg at the end of the workshop in thanks for Reg's hospitality. Runnymede Art Society members of which there were 17 thoroughly enjoyed painting in oils with Roy Lang, we spent the whole day at The Hythe Centre learning the skills of painting seascapes in oils. Roy not only shared the secret of his skills but was also very entertaining, we all attempted the same scene with varying degrees of success and we all without exception gained vital practice for handling oils, as for most of us it was a new experience. For those few who had previously experienced oils, mostly in the form of removal of oils from clothing hair and furniture, knowledge of actually painting on canvas was a welcome change
