Our multi-talented Lesley works in a range of mediums, using paint, textiles, or printing materials.  Today she ran a workshop to guide members on some techniques of printing - and the room was buzzing with activity.  In one of the photos below, spot the embellishments on someone's clothing!

STILL LIFE AND MODEL with SALLY PROCNER
​Christmas is coming!  Sally gave us a couple of Christmas-themed still life set ups (by the way, don't forget our Christmas party is now on the 8th) -  and she posed for us lounging on her up-market leather bean-bag.  Excellent choice!  Below are just a few of members' efforts.

10th November, watercolour workshop, James Merriott

​Jim is a watercolour artist of the old school - using just pencil, paper, brushes and watercolour paints.  A thought that one might use the edge of a credit card for rigging and masts was dismissed out of hand!  Jim’s first demonstration was a seascape with sailing barge.  The way he flooded the whole sheet of paper with water, then applied strong, single colours was a bit alarming, but leaving it to dry then painting wet-on-dry for the boat and details produced a stunning picture.  The second demo of a church and cottages followed a similar pattern, except that the area where the walls of the cottages were to be was left untouched until the second stage.
It was an enjoyable day as we tried to emulate Jim’s style and produce a number of paintings - not all finished of course in the time available.

Thursday 3rd November, model & still life

3/11/2016

Jackie presented us with a great display for her still life.  It was spectacular the way she combined beautiful colours with so many wonderful shapes and textures.  She also cleverly used empty photo frames to highlight some parts of the arrangement.

The excellent model was her husband Chris, who did two shorter poses before the coffee break, and one long one after.  For a novice “sitter”, he kept his poses well.  (Click to enlarge.)
