John provided an interesting and unusual still life this week, reminding us all of our duties in the garden, summer games and some unusual decorative objects. the centrepiece was some highly colourful Ghanaian cloth. I particularly liked his second pose - very characterful! There have been a few items of work sent in that were done at home, or where the artist left early and did not put their work on display at the end of the morning... Diana left early, but has sent in the results of this morning's experiments. '1 & 2, I have been loosely covering old sketches and blank pages in sketch book with white acrylic paint, this gives a good texture which you can then use again with ink,water colour oil pastel etc I will see what these turn into,it’s more fun if you don’t know what you’re doing.' The second two are the beginnings of a collage, and its subject. Avril used her iPad to produce two rather colourful portraits of John, with more in her sketchbook. So here are the rest of the portraits, and the still life works that I photographed at the time. It's very good to have got back to the critique at the end of the morning - I think everyone gets something out of seeing what each other has done. The only drawback is that for the one taking the photos it's impossible to keep track of whose was whose, so you will have to forgive the lack of attribution - but that is how the blog always used to be done.
