A great number of members, 17 in total and a super atmosphere was buzzing around. There were several important announcements made regarding a Watercolour workshop, Suffolk Open Studios and next week when Sally Ladbroke will be doing mark making, please look on the STOP PRESS for further details.
Sally and Angela informing members, see stop press
Sally provided an attractive still life and posed very passionately for us.
John was very productive and enjoyed the graphite and the use of colour
Ian did his first portrait in colour using acrylics
Sally P used water soluble pencils and felt the hand on the right looked good
Angela was pleased with her logs but thought the portraits were poor, nobody else agreed
Jackie was a long way away as a lot of people wanted to do the portraits, next time I think we should put the model in the room a bit more so people can surround the model.
Harriet was productive, she liked the solidity of the chalks particularly the red one and also thought the hands were hard to draw.
I only did four this week using pastels and charcoal, members thought the pastel looked effective on the black paper.
Ian had a go using acrylics on his Derbyshire picture which is not finished yet. Jane made her usual graphic drawing and found it hard to get a likeness and felt it is harder drawing someone you know. Barry our newbie tried his hand at watercolour, like Ian C he has not finished it yet.
Hannah was playing around with layers on her i pad using her special pencil, members hinted that they would like another session on computers.
Sally used watercolour and ink flowers which looked delicate. Eileen is still working on her painting, members thought it was colourful and Angela thought the texture was good. Josie did not have time to do the background and she thought the jar on the left was the wrong shape.
Elizabeth said she had not done anything for months so enjoyed using the charcoal pencil. Sandra made a wonderful pastel of flower which was realistic and had good movement and depth.
This has been sent from Carolyn - I have begun to run out of Ideas for the Blog. This is the best I could do and it will be eaten by the time it appears!
Frances was unable to attend today but here are some pictures.
Busy creating for Mellis Craft Fair on November 30th!
The prints above will have colour added and having discovered a pack of 12x12cms canvasses at Albrights, I haven’t been able to stop decorating them and I did indeed chop up one of last week pictures as well to use as background!
