What an array of autumn Harriet brought us! Clusters of homegrown apples, some still on their branches, were arranged so everyone had a good view, along with baskets, greenery and flowers. Thanks too to Dave who came to model, along with a very dapper hat! There were quite a lot of good likenesses achieved by the portraitists, some colourful still lifes, and a couple of members did their own thing.
Starting with two who did a bit of both the subjects on offer, here is the work Frances produced today; Pencil sketch, Aquarelle pencil sketch, Wax crayon and graphite, and Charcoal and wax crayon
And here are Avril's sketches. There was general agreement on how well the wash worked under the portrait here.
  | I think you can see that Lesley was not sketching the view from the Bowl's Club! On the left the original sketch, and on the right the painting Lesley is making from it. |
| Ian C produced two pastel sketches, a seascape and some of his garlic harvest. |   |
Portraits artists next: Sally T, Barry and Laurens, with two each...
| And Harriet's view of her husband, along with some studies she made of his hands. |   |
These are Jackie's sketches of Dave... along with Penny's and Judith's
On to the still life works...
These are Ian J and Josie's (her first are from her 'bubble' (or maybe, given the season 'bauble' works)

| Next Sally P, two very different views... |  |
| And Maggie-Anne, Jennie and Diana... |    |
| I (Hannah) drew a little collection of apples in pencil, and then coloured them in on my iPad, so I didn't spoil the original drawing - but I did spot a mistake and had to change the original! |   |
