6th april 2023 tech morning - with hannah

Well, I think a somewhat confusing, but I hope enjoyable morning was had today.  At some time,  I will have to put together some kind of guide to the duller stuff I was trying to convey.  It was a bit of a problem with all the differing versions of everything!  I hope everyone got at least one or two things out of it that they didn't know before.  The scene-setting pics here don't really do the crowd justice, I should have asked someone to take a photo when everyone had their heads down. I think we were about 16 or so.  However, I think everyone who was there will enjoy the cartoon sent to Frances by one of her sons-in-law, when she shared her photo of EAG in full tech mode!
So I will start with a watercolour by June, done at the Bank this week, a lovely delicate piece.

And Diana, who did come this morning, sent something else.  I very much enjoyed her comment, and I think she put her finger on exactly the difference between the art we normally do, and this morning's work!
'I enjoyed this morning,although I still don’t get it ( I don’t even know what it is that I don’t get). I did a bit of scribbling with felt tips and then the enjoyable bit of sloshing water on it which I don’t think you can do to an I pad.'
Avril wasn't able to come, because of Covid,  but has been working on her iPad, to great effect.
Sally P produced three stages of work based on a photo of a poppy, first the photo itself, then a pencil drawing in the layer on top, and finally colour added to the drawing.  She also sent me a drawing done previously.
Lesley also sent one she had done earlier left, along with the work from today, right.  She has used a different app for this, ipastels.
Thanks to Frances for the photo and cartoon above.  She also sent her work from this morning, and the sketch it was based on.  She had been to see the immersive Hockney exhibition, and I think the iPad work shows the influence in the colours used.
Here is Ian C's work from this morning; a very striking and different image. I hope this is the right way up!

John was with us, but working on his own.  This was his drawing.
Harriet brought some daffodils with her to draw or paint, and then joined in on a borrowed iPad, layering lots of things over one another.
Picture
I hope everyone enjoyed themselves.  I know quite a few of you didn't end up sending anything in, and maybe didn't keep what you did.  I hope it was good practice anyway.
Sorry this is rather late being put to bed, I had babysitting duties this afternoon.  Here is the image I was working on, which is two photos layered over one another, one flipped to the mirrored version, with the opacity turned down, and holes erased in it to allow the other image through.  I then drew on top within another layer.  I may well use a section of this as the basis for a physical painting.

Next week Sandra will be in charge of the still life and model, and Noreen will be doing the blog (which means it will be completed in a much more timely fashion!)  Have a good week.

I was very interested to see the range of work. I’d been inspired by the Hockney room of iPad art. Only sorry not to be able to join you today as I’m still in hospital.

Thank you again Hannah. We drove down and back to Wembley today and as a passenger I was fiddling on my phone and managed another sketch…great fun.
