14th April 2022

A lovely sunny, and for a change, quite warm day to take us into Easter weekend.  Jane provided two interesting and contrasting still life set ups today and sat as a model this morning.  The first half of the session was noticeably more quiet and concentrated than the second - and I have to confess to being a culprit!  If you would like to use the still life as a larger image to work from, I have included a download below.

So let us start with lunch!  Carolyn sent me a drawing of the ingredients she had subsequently eaten, and I hope, enjoyed, entitled, 'What's for lunch'.

Avril was, as usual, very industrious in her portrait sketching, and has also been bury with her textiles.  You will find details of an exhibition she is participating in on the 'Messages from Members' page.
Sally P chose to tackle a section of one of the still life subjects, and has achieved what she set out to do, a nicely loose watercolour. She was particularly pleased as it had been sometime since she had worked in the medium.

Diana had brought her own subject matter in the form of photos. She used double ended felt tips. Rough scribble then splashes of water, good practice at a portable technique for the summer.


Next, Jackie's drawings of Jane... which she said she had enjoyed, but felt a bit rushed. Nonetheless she was fairly pleased with her efforts, and she wishes everyone a Happy Easter.

Ian did not felt he had done much this morning, so instead he sent me 'one he had done earlier'.  A view of Southwold completed this week.
From Frances (who was unable to come this morning), an earlier sketch at Dunwich with oil below in the making.

Here is Harriet's drawing from this morning of the aquilegia's from one still life...

And Lesley's drawing of the hydrangeas from the other.

Lesley is also exhibiting at Snape (in a different exhibition).  Again details on the 'Messages from Members' page.

Freda tackled both portaiture and still life.
Sally L has sent her work from this morning.  She says, 'This is as far as I got this week, lovely colour contrasts in this week’s set-up, it’s so nice to have blue flowers, but the Hydrangea’s flower heads are a bit of a challenge.  The second picture is the finished version of my last week’s still life, I think I will call it Dancing Rhubarb, sleeping Leek!'
The third picture is by Agnes Miller Parker, The Uncivilised Cat, 1930.  There is a new exhibition at the Sainsbury Centre that is on until 3rd July, of Scottish Women Artists.  Sally will organise a group booking if enough people want to go (let her know if you are interested).  More information at www.sainsburycentre.ac.uk/whats-on/scottish-women-artiststransforming-tradition/
Here is my attempt - I think I should have either done the fruit or the flowers, not both.

Don't forget about the trip to Cambridge - there are still places available.  Let Sally P know if you want to go.   The Chairman's Project is imminent - 28th April is the date to put in your diary for the big reveal.
