Talks on Art

Tone, temperature and intensity
Special

 Come and be inspired, and learn about some great painters and paintings in this fascinating illustrated lecture by Martin Smith, Artist in Residence at Watford Museum. Martin's lectures in the autumn were a great hit with Arts Centre audiences. This is the first in a new series.

This lecture looks at the way the great artists arranged colour and tone in their works. Artists examined include Boudin, Chardin, Claude, Corot, Courbet, Pissaro, Rembrandt, Turner and van Gogh.

Martin Smith's art lectures have been a resounding success. In Watford, people have had to be turned away and he drew large and appreciative audiences at Letchworth. . They were summed up by one delighted participant: "I am not easy to please, and I suppose I wasn't expecting much, but I was astonished at the inspirational way he put across his subject. He is an exceptional teacher."

This is the first in a series of four lectures at the Arts Centre. All start at 4.00 and will end at approximately 5.30. The others are on March 29, April 12 and April 26.
