woodbridge quay and boats cancelled

Sorry to say that the event has been cancelled due to the extreme hot weather, the Quayside does not have much shade and it would be gruelling to draw in such heat.

 Sent from Carolyn our constant, what would we do without her : It is from Africa again. The superb starling is quite a common bird in Kenya, and very attractive. 

​More flowers using acrylic,This morning I started the collage of Woodbridge not finished yet but I thought that watching Wimbledon with snickers ice cream was a good idea.Diana x

​Decided against going down to Woodbridge today as far too hot and sunny.
Sat in the garden for the Hydrangeas which I did in watercolour.
The next 3 show my drawing progression of my pitcher plant using water soluble pencil. I love the structure of these amazing plants and the way the pitchers hang.

Bonjour  I hope you have managed to keep cool today!

Hi all,
Am now back in the  UK, in a very hot Ramsgate marina, after sailing from Calais yesterday. Not much time for sketching so these two are all I've done this week. Top one is the old Georgian  lighthouse guarding Ramsgate harbour entrance, second in old dock in Calais, of the bows of the yacht moored next to us - Lesley

​Guess what -  I've drawn a hare ( who hasn't!!)  this morning-  attached- The plan is to put it either in a harvest field , flower meadow or hedgerow. Another take on the pic I did for the Bank exhibition  this time  with the vegetation in the background rather than the foreground.
Still a long long way to go. 
Hopefully a watercolour eventually. sent from Maggie-Anne

Shame that another session has been cancelled, but it is pretty hot at the moment!  I'm attaching a watercolour painting that I finished yesterday.  We have quite a few Canada Geese flying over our area every now and again and I thought they might make an interesting composition.  e mail from Penny

Two pictures of woodbridge taken from the internet from Harriet, Both water colours

1. Mill and yellow boat, we were there last Saturday and had our sandwiches near the boat. We went to view the construction of the Sutton Hoo replica boat, which was very impressive. I didn't take a picture though - should have done!

The other view is sunrise and snow - I just thought I would have a go.

This is a collage made this week from hello prints with a bit of mixed media.

from Jackie - Am sending two photos.  
One from yesterday of the straw 'shocks' baled by our local Thatcher and no.2 of the fields near us. 
Such glorious colours in the landscape this time of year but sometimes frustrating when trying to mix the right hue.
Am hopeful we can meet up next week.

 Just wanted to let you know that I am still happy for everyone to come here on the 16th....weather permitting.  I have organised extra parking and will have cold and hot drinks available.  Accessible toilet.  Let me know if you need any further information.  Sue Ashby x
