26th March with Penny

Today Penny produced a marvelous still life and stayed very still for the portraits also taking off her glasses for the last pose

Penny's lovely still life

Sally T liked the texture on the water soluble one although she thought the other  one was freer

Angela used a few colours so lots of mixing was required, the lemons seem to jump off the page, Angela said she might crop it. The second one was Sally P's very striking peachy yellow colours.
​

Elaine used acrylics and decided that she was going to produce a bit of sharpness by adding highlights. Jackie's basket in watercolour has lovely shapes and the pepper looks like it is popping out.

Sally P drew a very convincing pencil sketch of the thistles and Dianna's arrangement was done in her fluid style.

Elizabeth sketched with her usual technique

Avril made 5 sketches and Lauren's four abstract type sketches which also show his original style 

John seems to improve no end, I like the third one of King Charles cut into two

Lesley made a pastel painting of the river using bright and harsh contrasts on Not paper which she said did not have much tooth and there was a hidden boat somewhere. Maggie-Anne's Hare has a nice posture and is beautifully sketched.  

Just a quickie from Carolyn 
We have a large patch of daffodils in the garden and this drawing is just before they all open. A lovely splash of colour now to cheer us all up!

Please note that the renewal forms need to be in by April and that the next weeks Blogger is Hannah.
