I have a pastel painting entitled 'Winter at the Chase' (Cannock Chase) in this exhibition. In 2022 I exhibited 6 pastels of landscapes for the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists' Members to consider and vote on. I was successful, and donated one of my six artworks to the RBSA permanent collection. https://rbsa.org.uk/about-us/collection/ This artwork is currently exhibited as part of this exhibition.
‘Drawing with dry media is as old as mankind. Ochre and charcoal dust were blown through straws onto cave walls by the first artists. In more recent times, the dry media of pencil, pastel, and charcoal were favoured by travelling artists as ideal for drawing with minimum of fuss on site in sketchbooks or portfolios. Drawing was the means through which European artists recorded, prepared, studied, and imagined, and it was often a prelude to painting or engraving. Dry media were also central to art training and versatile both en plein air and in the studio.’

I visited the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists' gallery in the Jewellery Quarter today. It was my first venture into a gallery since lockdown. It felt safe, spacious and both other visitors and the staff were wearing masks.
Celebrating 20 years at the RBSA’s current location in the Jewellery Quarter, the RBSA Anniversary Exhibition brings together Collection Acquisitions from the last 20 years alongside artwork by current RBSA Members and Associates.
In April 2000, after being based at New Street in Birmingham since 1829, the RBSA relocated to the current gallery just off St Paul’s Square.
It's an exhibition well worth visiting if you can, or it is available to view online.
Outside the RBSA today in lovely sunshine. People were stretching out and having coffees sitting in St Paul's Square opposite.
