Thursday 30th March with Sally Tyley

I arrived at this morning's meeting during the coffee break to hear Hannah talking about her "tech" workshop next week.  Details can be found on Stop Press (click here) but check it again before the workshop as she is looking for something to add about photo editing in the meantime.  [ON STOP PRESS NOW - HANNAH]

The drawing app Hannah mentioned is called Sketchbook. This is its icon​.  It is available for both iOS and Android.

Note that if you don't want to take part, there will be no model or still life provided but you can come and work on any project of your own.

Carolyn was first off the mark with her drawing of daffodils waving in the wind.  She photographed them in her garden first, then drew them from the photo.  A pleasing composition I think.  
​​Next was Frances with tulips, working from Sally T's still life table.  She had to leave early but subsequently sent another tulip-inspired painting completed a few weeks ago ... an exercise in candle wax, watercolour, ink and charcoal.  "I just love tulips" she says.
Diana seems to like them too, as she has carried on with last week's picture ... and invented the blue tulip!  (Breeders have been unsuccessful at producing a true blue but artists have no such limitations.)
Jane says she was late arriving today so just used pencil to produce this fine drawing.
Ian has given his landscapes a rest and turned his hand to practising with a palette knife on some objects from the still life table.  (Handling the palette knife does take a lot of practice Ian, so keep up the good work!)
Picture
Lesley too has favoured flowers over landscapes, with this rendering in acrylics.
Picture
Harriet has sent in her two attempts at the still life.  She says she found the foreshortening of the leaves challenging.
Les Bragg has challenged himself with a mostly white flower in watercolour
Picture
Sally P has been having fun I think.  She started off trying to paint tulips for a card, then went on to attempt a watercolour picture. She was not over-pleased with either.
​She then decided to do a semi-blind (or modified) contour drawing on one of them.  She was pleased with the result and decided to draw another one. She comments that there is much more life and movement in it.  She positioned her pen for each flower and the vase and then looked only at the flower whilst drawing.  
The next ones are from Hannah.  The first is the drawing she was finishing this morning - although it might need some more work, she says.  Also included are two paintings from earlier in the week.
The little landscape is only about 7" x 5", and is imagined.  The other is 40cm x 40 cm, and is based on another painting she did earlier, an abstract night scene.
5.20 pm I'm still waiting for some portraits from today!!!  I've only got one and that is Elizabeth's because I photographed it myself in the coffee break.  Correction: I''ve checked the Junk box and found one there again from Jackie.  Don't know why, but I'm glad to have found it.
Here is Elizabeth's portrait of Sally T, unfinished but looking good, and one of Diana from last week which she finished off at home.
Picture
This is Jackie's lovely portrait of Sally.  She says she tried to paint without sketching first and was fairly pleased with the result, but that it's very faint so hopes it is clear enough for the website. ( I have enhanced it slightly and do think it is slightly clearer now.  Hope t's all right for you Jackie.)
It is well past our deadline of 6pm so I conclude I've received all your contributions and that's cheerio from me for this week.  Best wishes for a good week and happy sketching.  
Remember to send your work to Hannah for the blog next week. Noreen
