Five of us arrived at the lovely Pennoyers Cafe for what looked like a bit of an unpromising day’s sketching, but fortified with coffee a bit of in depth ‘scone research’ we decamped to the church.
Hannah and Jackie chose the churchyard. First is Hannah’s sketch of the pretty churchyard.
And Jackie’s painting of the church in the style of an artist Kees Van Aalst that she has been recently studying, (see below) reducing the foreground to an almost abstract patchwork effect.
Sally and I stayed inside the church. Sally drew the very challenging intricate design bordering the screen, and an attractive small doorway, and finally when the sun came out the old boarded up pub opposite.
I liked the way that the porch entrance framed the view into the churchyard, but got completely bogged down as usual in the architectural details.watercolour and inktense colour pencils.
From Carolyn this week we have an appropriately seasonal subject, a basket of apples.
and Diana has been googling again and sent us this collage of Pulham Market, and her pastel impressions of watching cycle races, the Tour de France and La Vuelta, fast, furious and colourful.
Frances is in Brittany, a sketch of her favourite spot, and “ fiddling with sketches of shells in charcoal, ink and watercolour” - good subject for a workshop? …
and Lesley is also on holiday and has sent in this lovely landscape painting.
