Fine Artistes take the North East by Storm!

Fine Artistes have just spent two days on the streets of Tynemouth at The Mouth of the Tyne Festival 2009.

Day One saw our Studio in the Street attract scores of young and old who took part in drawing and painting activities in the glorious sunshine. Their efforts produced lots of still life drawings and a large canvas celebrating the event. This is now in the hands of the Council who will display it locally. We were also delighted to have working alongside us the well-known Glaswegian prison artist Blim Burns. He created a canvas depicting the harbour and skyscape in his inimitable style. Blim was on day release from Barlinnie Prison so we were lucky to secure his talents for the day.

On Day Two locals were entertained by a visit by The Two Brians who had flown up from London for the day to review the Festival and also by The Art Tart who spent the afternoon sketching on her canvas as part of her ongoing project to draw every person in the UK.
