| Framlingham is an old favourite for the EAG's summer programmes and good for lots of different kinds of sketching. I am sorry I am once again not able to be out with you sketching, but have included at the end 'one I did earlier'. Thanks to Sally P we have a view of five of the six people at tea, Frances having had to leave very quickly. Also thanks for views of Jackie at work and of the castle. |     |
| Sally P tells us that the sun finally came out at 2.45 - just as they were packing away! This, she says, is her unfinished offering. (It looks pretty finished to me for a plein air piece, very good. N) |  |
| From Lesley a similar angle on the Castle on the Hill and another lovely painting. She says there was little contrast in the sky. She brought her alkyd oils out for the first time this year. |  |
| A third from the same angle from Jackie, who says, A stunning castle but not looking its best under cloudy skies. Hers is in watercolour I think, which can be a tricky medium for this sort of landscape, but Jackie is an expert watercolourist. She has added an interesting photo of the steep rampart pathways. |  |  |
Here are four relatively quick small sketches done in chilly Framingham, says Frances:
1. View from bridge over moat ditch as you enter the castle. I might use it for an acrylic painting.
2. Done from the exterior with charcoal and wash. Vaguely thinking about geometrical shapes.
3. A little more delicate approach!!!
4. Wash and charcoal of small window of what was the Workhouse built into the original wall of the Great Hall. She likes the window on the sepia paper.

| Ian J sent in some artwork from last week's location, Mellis. First is one of Ian's then two of Josie's. |    |
| Diana too has sent in a photo of Mellis from last week .......... |     |
...... followed by "Drew this out using old lipstick applier, glad I didn’t throw it away, worked brilliantly; blocked in the tone, then the cat went missing so I haven't done any more."
 | We are introduced to Hades with a nice drawing by Carolyn, using Inktense pencils dry. She says he is a big black boisterous Alsation (not hers). |  | And here is one I did earlier ..... probably about 2014. (NC) |
Next week the meeting is at Harriet's, with views also in Wickham Skeith village with cottages and pond. Do go along if you can and send your work to Hannah for the blog.
Have a good week.
