What a wonderful turnout today for Thornham walks, so everyone was eager to sketch and paint their way around. We could not have asked for a more beautiful day.
Jackie gave us instructions about the thumbnail sketches and how they will help us with finding the right format to us for further study. She was also kind enough to handout leaflets to help us.
Barry studying an old tree stump, Jackie surveying the view, Lesley, Ian and Sally working hard and Jill and Bea all set up for a mornings painting. Ian S hiding in the shrubbery and Sally T sketching
I caught Sally T before she had to leave a bit early, she produced sketches showing lots of shading.
Quite a lot of the members only stayed for the morning so if they send me copies I can include them in the blog. The members who stayed for afternoon tea showed their efforts and discussed them.
Jackie made thumbnail sketches as mentioned earlier, and the finished painting was very atmospheric.
Lesley made thumbnail sketches and then a snarled up fallen tree which is well grounded
    | Ian C was very productive and created sketches which showed great movement |
Sally P was also productive, using thumbnail sketches to help the final piece and thought very hard about composition which I think worked very well.
Avril must be slipping as she only made three sheets of sketches, because she took time out to have a cream tea and talk to the potter and artists in their studios!!
Frances said 'Sorry I couldn’t stay and that I missed Jackie’s intro and thank you Ian for putting my bike chain on'. First done some years ago at Wortham with same theme… looking through the Lych Gate the other two paintings are of the chapel.
Harriet sent the following:

Ink tense sticks on Thornham walkabout 2012 from Diana and watercolour early 2000s
Here are Angela's two pieces from Thornham- very different! Not sure which one I like the best- quite like them both.
Sent to us from Carolyn - Here is my nostalgic effort. Before TV, I used to listen to radio a lot. Now not at all. The wireless does still work on FM but nothing on MW or LW. (On the drawing I only hinted at the perforated front view)
Blogger next week is Hannah
