Today was the EAG coach visit to Cambridge, where ten participating members could visit the Fitzwilliam Museum, the Botanical Gardens or anywhere else that took their fancy. As Sally P points out, the True to Nature exhibition is very appropriate for us at the start of our Summer Programme. It shows the work of 18th and 19th century artists going outdoors to explore first hand the fleeting moments in nature - the effects of light, drama and atmosphere. It follows nicely on our own recent project on Movement. Sitting in the Botanical Gardens in the sunshine, having lunch, Sally was able to send us these images, which include a masterful oil painting she completed earlier this week.
Diana has sent us some insights into her working methods, called Scribbles:

"​1.  Using double-ended felt tips, this shows how little scribble you need. The top half was brushed with a little water, some allowed to pool.
"2.  5 minute scribbles from photos, some with waterproof black drawing.
"3.  My helper!"
​Thanks Diana.

​Carolyn
has sent us what she calls 'a quick drawing of a handsome frequent visitor, who seems attracted to the conservatory door'.  (No doubt sees his 'twin' there.)
Sally L writes:  We had a lovely sunny day out in Cambridge, and a nearly full coach, congratulations to Sally on a very successful trip. This is a studio version of the May blossom sketch that I did about a month ago.
​(And very lovely it is too. N.)

Next week our meeting is at New Buckenham Village Green for plein air drawing and painting. Parking is on the street and coffee and tea available at the Angel cafe tea room, King Street.  I hope many of you will be able to make it there. Contributions to the blog to be sent to Hannah please. Meanwhile, keep painting!
