”Quick Draw” is a painting and sketchbook exhibition and is Asnee’s first solo show. The exhibition will  comprise of 30 watercolour paintings and sketches of picturesque Yunnan and Bhutan, as well as various scenes of bustling Bangkok such as Tha Tian market and Chinatown.

Some of the paintings are an expanded experience of his travel sketchbook, done on the move, while many are simply ”inspiration hangovers” made after trips. All of the works reflect the locations’ environmental nuances, with the use of simple tools, minimal time, great fun and lots of sweat, especially those of Bangkok!

‘Quick Draw’ will open on June 12, from 6pm – 9pm, and will run until June 20, from 10am to 9pm. Cassia Gallery is located on the top floor of a cafe at 20 Sukhumvit Soi 31, BTS Phrom Phong. Parking is available. For more information, email asnee.t@gmail.com or visit www.zketch.blogspot.com.

Upstairs are Elsie’s daily paintings, done on location in Nepal, Hong Kong, Cambodia, Hua Hin and looking out the window at Attic Studios witnessing the red shirt rally on Soi 31. All her daily paintings are done in not much longer than an hour. Each painting is 6,000 Baht:

Down stairs are Lisa’s Funky Face Paintings in a larger-than-life scale:

In our booth we showcased the paintings and drawings of Attic students, while having painting demonstrations by students, held throughout the two days. There was also an opportunity for interested kids and adults passing by to try their hand at painting one if the still lives we had set up.

It was a great weekend out in the sun (and brief torrential downpour on Saturday) with plenty to look at and take part in.

Thank you to all the students who painted and helped make the festival a blinding success for Attic Studios! xo

Monday, 1st of June marked the opening reception of the Silver Fish and Turpentine exhibition showing off the collected works born of Alan’s entire 3-stage course. Tapas Cafe was jam packed full of artists, relatives and interested parties scoffing down the delicious food and free-flowing Sangria, while perusing the paintings covering the walls both upstairs and down.

It was wonderful to see the culmination of all the students’ hard work on display, showing off the progress and passion they have made and found, over the last few months.

The works will be on display at Tapas until the 21st June and are all available for purchase (unless of course they have already been sold).

In closing I will leave you with some pics of the party…enjoy (fortunately, no one got so sloshed that they started dancing on the tables, semi-nude…always a bonus).

1st – 21st June 2009

Opening Reception: Tapas Café, Sukhumvit Soi 11

Monday 1st June, 7:30pm

Artists: Jeff Battersby, Krittiya Sothikul, Maria Samper, Mary Eden, Rose Moxham, Rosie Koch, Sandy Chindavijak.

Drawing upon the work of eight emerging international and Thai artists, ‘Silver Fish & Turpentine’ showcases a collection of oil paintings that are the culmination of 3 intensive workshops conducted by Alan Scott-Moncrieff. They uniquely combine contemporary ideas inspired by the Impressionists and Expressionists bringing to life a range of subjects, from still life to portraits.

The artists are all members of Attic Studios, situated on Sukhumvit Soi 31, founded by Elsie Evans, and fast proving itself to be a vital part of the thriving Bangkok art scene.

Elsie in Nepal

As many of you already know, Elsie has been absent from Attic for the last 10 days. If you haven’t been in, then you may not realise that Elsie jetted off to Nepal two weekends ago to get some well-deserved inspirational rejuvination.

The day she got there she informed me that electricity went out at 8pm at night and candlelit discos are the thing to do. Can you imagine Elsie in the pitch black at 8 in the evening? I can’t. In fact, it makes me laugh everytime I think about it. ;o) Sorry Elsie!

Hehehehehehe…..

Without Lady Evans in the midst of things, the studio can seem a little empty. The good news, however, is that she’ll be back tomorrow in one of two moods…either all awash with energy and fresh air pumping through her veins or pissed off that she had to spend 10 days in the dark. Lol.

Exciting news: We will be holding a student exhibition at Tapas Cafe, Sukhumvit Soi 11, from the 1st June – 21st June. (Watch this space for more details).
