Brighton festival season showcases emerging artists

Collecting Art, take a look

Throughout May, the city transformed into a vibrant hub of fresh sounds and creative energy, with new artists performing at a wide range of grassroots events and industry showcases. Brighton Festival, Brighton Fringe and The Great Escape all gave emerging UK and international talent a platform in front of both industry professionals and new audiences. Eve Massaad, chief marketing officer at WaterBear, said: When people talk about Brightons festival season, they often focus on the artists at the top of the poster. What excites me is everything happening underneath that. Throughout May we saw emerging artists sharing stages with international acts, building audiences, making connections and gaining experiences that can genuinely shape their futures. Brighton remains one of the best places in the UK to be an emerging artist because there is a community here that genuinely wants to see people succeed. WaterBear Venue and WaterBear Music Bar hosted a string of live shows during The Great Escape. Artists including Lily Moore, Charlotte Plank, Bimini, Matt Hennessy, Milly Pye, Boudicca and SPIKEMYHEART performed alongside international acts from Iceland, the Faroe Islands and Portugal. Singer-songwriter Milly Pye, who was part of The Great Escape programme, described the experience as a highlight of the month. Ms Pye said: It means so much to be picked for an opportunity like this. You feel appreciated, you feel heard and its a sense of community. We couldn ask for more. The momentum carried through to a special livestream event in Brighton, organised by DJ AG, which featured WaterBear students and alumni alongside artists supported by AudioActive. AudioActive is a Sussex charity that empowers young people through music. The partnership between DJ AG and WaterBear has now led to the creation of the DJ AG Scholarship. The new scholarship will fully fund a BA Hons degree place at WaterBear for a talented young artist and provide mentoring and industry support. As Brighton’s festival season draws to a close, the enthusiasm and drive of emerging artists is clear, even as the wider grassroots music scene faces real challenges.,

Two portraits – one unfinished in underpainting stage Painting Technique: Glazing I often bore people with long conversations about my use of glazes, without realising they don’t know what I’m talking about. So I thought I’d write a post about this wonderful technique, and how it has transformed my art. It’s not complicated. Glazing is applying transparent layers of paint over another dried layer of opaque paint. One benefit is that highlighted areas retain their saturation and luminosity, and don’t turn chalky, as is the case if you mix colours with white. Shadow areas can achieve a depth of colour you can’t achieve with a simple layer of opaque paint. The disadvantage in using this technique is it relies on some forethought in preparing a suitable underpainting, and that underpainting has to be allowed to dry before applying the glazes. This obviously slows down the painting process. Note: I use oil paints, and everything I say applies to that medium. You can just as easily us...
