<p>Hello there, my name is Ray Forkan, erst while member of Plein Eire West (forgive me, forgive me). I'm now located somewhere in the middle of the country. Are there groups around here? I haven't found one yet? I'd be very interested in meeting up with people. I'll be going out as much as possible this year, usually not on Sundays but I'm open to conversion.... Get in touch here if you are in the region... I look forward to meeting you soon,</p>

<p>The deadline is fast approaching, officially Friday at noon, but on good authority, apparently having youir submission in by Sunday night, 2nd May will still allow you to enter.</p>

<p>Much sympathy to the family and friends of Garry Westby who sadly passed away on the 27<sup>th</sup> October last. Garry, a member of Plein Eire Boyne Valley and Plein Eire Dublin, always looked forward to the paint-outs in his native Skerries and North County Dublin locations, and although his illness curtailed the duration of his participation on occasion, he still came out to fondly meet and greet and share in the friendship and camaraderie of his fellow painters.</p>
<p>May he rest in peace.</p>

<p>Nearly always do oils in one go. But a touch up? how to get new paint to bond and blend into a picture done 3 weeks ago . Any ideas?</p>
<p>interested in different mediums too. Tend to like an oily look. Some suggest no medium. I found that too dry. I use the student quality paint. Its fine except lemon yellow , has thin covering power. Student paint, winton is cheap and I can put it on thick. I’m not so amazed by the expensive stuff but maybe I just don’t know </p>

<p>Can't believe it has been seven years since I added a discussion on this page. It was fun and I enjoyed reading back over the contributions to my statements, some would say "shit stirring"! I'm proud to say some of my "muck raking" was removed in the past.</p>
<p>Anyway, my question this morning is this. Can you name a great representational artist, not living, who could not draw?</p>

<p>Is there a painting group in Dingle?</p>
<p>I'm hoping to go there for the weekend and do some painting.</p>
<p>It's my first time in there and I'd love if someone could recommend some good painting sites.</p>

<p>Hi guys,</p>
<p></p>
<p>my wife bought me a Mabef m22 for Xmas. I used it once(indoors) on stephens' Day. I think I prefer a more run'n'gun approach though, a lighter setup.</p>
<p>Its in perfect condition with box. Only a couple of blobs of paint on it from that one session.</p>
<p>I think it cost€230+. I would accept offers on it. I was thinking €180?</p>
<p>Kind regards,</p>
