What a great day to be in the bowls club inside nice and cosy while the rain persists. Hannah made an oriental style still life that was very colourful with lots of bamboo and interesting bangles. Hannah arrived bright and early and set up
Lots of poses were selected today starting with a standing pose then one sitting on armchair and another on armrest
  | After the break Hannah stood by the easel and drew us looking at her. She did this directly on to her iPad. |
Liz produced a colourful painting using her pen to emphasise shapes. Maggie-Anne’s flowers are to be finished and Judith's painting included the wavy bamboo.
Sally P produced several drawings and paintings today.
Jenny did a delicate watercolour.
Sally made a lovely expressive mixed media and pen and ink

Lesley experimented with watercolour paints and also did a still life.
Harriet produced a still life with a landscape-like feel.
Jackie did two drawings of Hannah and a watercolour of flowers
Gill made a start on a beautiful butterfly, and Irene doing flowers
Frances says Bonjour and sends a quick sketch of some daffodils. This is followed by a very small butterfly using gold leaf and acrylic. She says the ersatz gold leaf is very tricky to manipulate. The small linocut is to be finished with two other blocks when she gets home.
Hannah sent me her iPad drawings from this morning which I think are very expressive
I have a gallery of drawings as usual. (Avril)
Here is a drawing from Carolyn, another interesting composition.
| Finally, Jane sent this beautiful ink drawing of a cyclamen, as she could not make it to the session this morning |  |
Don’t forget that next week is Lesley and Avril’s workshop. All details are on Stop Press, but Lesley added today that you might need small containers or yogurt pots for mixing texture. See you there!
