thursday 30.3.17 with John Blake

John presented us with some fantastic textures in his tree-oriented still life set-up, which were clearly both challenging and inspiring.  We had an excellent model too.  See photos of these below, left, also some studies and sketches.  Click on them to enlarge them.

thursday 23 March with avril court

From the kitchen (or was it the laundry?) to the Scottish piper in kilt and full regalia, Avril gave us a challenging and enjoyable morning session.  Heads down and working hard, we produced studies and sketches as below.  Not many seem to have voted for the washing - or perhaps their efforts went down the plughole?!

Thursday 16th March with Hannah Muskett

We went to the Orient for today's session.  Hannah supplied lots of pots, plants and vegetables for this theme and, with her fan and coolie hat, looked the part as our model.  An interesting and enjoyable morning.  In spite of being a somewhat shortened session, lots of sketches were produced, samples of which are shown below.  
We had to say goodbye to Joan Henriques today, who is returning to her homeland of Canada after a number of years in the UK.  We were sorry to see her go and hope very much she will keep in touch and perhaps let us see some of the new artwork she produces there.

thursday 9.3.17 with les Bragg

Les gave us a marine theme, with model sailing boats - one very large - and a number of Tom Oakley's beautiful paintings to inspire us.  Les must have needed a pantechnicon to transport all his props.  Well done, Les!  As our model he also dressed in nautical mode.  Click images to enlarge them.

thursday 2.3.17:  painting big, with Frances Beasley

2/3/2017

In this workshop we were aiming to get the bigger picture and Frances set us three exercises.  
First, keep your distance.  For this we had extra large sheets of paper, four foot drawing sticks and an object to draw whilst thinking where to place it on the paper, along with multiple repeats of it.
The second exercise was to plan out compositions using just three circles and three diagonals.
The final exercise was to select any items from a large collection of objects provided and create our own still lifes - thinking creatively and remembering the lessons of exercises one and two.
It was a really inspiring workshop which resulted in a great variety of work and pushed us out of our comfort zones.  Many thanks to Frances, who has sent us all a message (click here).
