Twenty of us at the Bowls Club this morning, a good turnout for a dull grey day.
Judith was our model in a cheerful and very intricate bright yellow jacket, fur hat/no hat, glasses/ no glasses, so you can see we were kept on our toes.
On the still life table a selection of objects and dried flower heads, and also several members working independently.

First the portraits, and some good likenesses.
From Angela a pencil portrait, Ian J worked in pencil and oil pastel. And Elizabeth’s work in charcoal
some of Avril’s portraits. -sorry Avril, I didn’t catch them all.
and from Sally P using a very thick pencil. And from Jane three full figures and a portrait.
From Jackie Four delicate pencil sketches And from Jill a clearly defined full figure pencil drawing
from Harriet two portraits he first in pencil and the second using pencil and chalk.
And to finish off, Jackie’s lovely watercolour portrait of Bea. Started a few weeks ago, she finished it over Christmas, perfectly capturing not only a good likeness, but her calm gentle demeanour
on the still life table…
Barry “just drew what was I front of him” two quirky ducks using neo colour crayons.
Harriet’s composition in charcoal, And Jenny’s in pencil
Sally Tyley -L and i both attempted mixed media,Sally used pencil, for the glass and kettle and then pen and ink. I used charcoal for the large drawing, and pen with water soluble ink for the smaller piece
jackie painted the seed heads in watercolour. And penny the statuette of a fairy/nymph
working independently…
Ian C produced a very delicate chalk pastel drawing in preparation for the workshop
on February 13th. The colours are typical of this time of year, lovely misty pastel shades…it maybe Wyken Fen
Josie worked on a dramatic picture of a sunflower head.
Maggie Ann was inspired by the view from the window across the bowling green.
Diana is re-visiting some past ‘treasures’, ( just visible on the iPad screen) inspiring new work, and reworking others.
Lesley has finished her pointillist landscape from Frances’s workshop, but regretted painting in the sky as a flat colour as it had taken the lively contrast away from the leaves.
Eileen is working on a vibrant acrylic landscape
and Carolyn has sent in a pencil drawing of a newly refurbished pouffe. It looks almost edible!
Angela is trying out various compositions for a larger piece of work using cut out figures on a dark background. ( try to blot out the carpet pattern !) -a useful tip to aid composition.
- and finally…
- a reminder of the Chairman’s Project - On the Edge, due on April 24th
- A Programme of talks at Diss Corn Hall - worth attending (see below)
- On Thursday sessions please either sign your work or bring a re- usable label to avoid confusion in the head of the blogger!
- Avril is in charge of the blog next week
