Six members at Beccles today, most of us stayed around the quay, but Jackie ventured down to the Lido, and the Old Market, AND The weather was in our favour this week.
But first Coffee, and a lengthy session putting the world to rights. You’ll notice that we are all smiling in the photograph, but we did all agree that one way and another things are pretty grim at the moment. - nothing like a day’s painting to restore our equilibrium!

First Lesley with a view towards the old Beccles bridge,and also a watercolour of the view over the water looking in the opposite direction.

Also a badly submerged boat, somebody else’s problem thank goodness.
Harriet found some beautiful swans on the slipway.
And a colourful view of the footbridge in mixed media.
Hannah produced a lovely drawing of a boat moored near the footbridge.
Sally T chose a similar view to Lesley looking across the cut to the boats river’s edge and the boats moored there.
I also drew the view similar to Lesley’s of the old road bridge.
i was using a new ‘find’ from the art range in Woodware workshop, a Daler Rowney system 3 fluid acrylic ‘pen’ I do not recommend this frustrating piece of equipment as the nib is quite fine,and the acrylic paint congeals and frustratingly blocks it!
Jackie bravely struck out into Beccles, drawing a collection of canoes at the Lido that reminded her of sardines in a can, and another lovely drawing of one of the picturesque houses in the old market place.
Diana , has ‘beamed herself into Beccles’ and produced this collage of a view over the footbridge!
and now for something completely different…
Carolyn has sent this drawing of the plums from her garden, ideally suited to the medium of coloured pencil drawing, it beautifully reproduces that velvety sheen on the skin. Delicious!
and Frances has sent a pen and wash drawing of that moment when the Hydrangeas tell you that autumn is on it’s way.
and her sequence of scraperboard drawings, first in reverse, then ink on the board,and then beginning to scrape away the image. She isn’t completely satisfied with the results, and is considering repeating it on white scraperboard.
and finally
- Next week we are in Framlingham
- Next week’s blogger is Harriet
- Think about your ‘summer picture’ it can be any piece of work that you have produced over the summer, or maybe just a quick sketch that evokes a particular happy summer memory. We will look at these picture at our first winter session after the AGM
