Interactive Painting with Madeleine Bunbury

Join us on Friday, October 10, in the Founders' Room, from 10 am until 1 pm, for an interactive painting demonstration with equine portrait artist Madeleine Bunbury. Madeleine will paint a horse from life, and we invite the audience to observe and/or bring supplies to paint along. For those of you who did not join us last year, you don’t want to miss this opportunity to meet, observe, and learn from this talented artist.

Madeleine Bunbury was educated in Dorset and trained in traditional portraiture for three years at Charles Cecil Studios in Florence. It was there she learned the traditional "sight size" technique and painting from life under natural light.

Madeleine's talent extends well beyond depicting the horses in front of her. Painting from life, Madeleine can offer not only an accurate representation of the horses but an honest insight into what makes each of them special.

"I concentrate on painting horses life size in a traditional style, from life, using my own hand ground paints and hand stretched canvases. I feel this style helps me to achieve an expressive representation which is unparalleled by modern photo realistic paintings." (Madeleine, on her technique)

This is a free public program, but artists are required to bring their own supplies.
