INGENIOUS ARTISTS ZOOM MEETING 17 OCTOBER

Our members' own experiences made our October session on fur and the natural world a diverse and interesting meeting.Helen regularly sees foxes in her garden. Here is her pencil drawing of a fox's head. Using a deer's skull, she demonstrated how the shape of the head determines how the fur grows.

 


Betty had drawn a furry Bunny's Ear leaf in pencil.



Helen showed how she developed a simple sketch of a barn own into a composition for a painting.


Di explained how she had used hard edges in the most important areas of her acrylic painting of a cat in an LED collar. The soft edges were painted more loosely.


Tony had a picture with a flock of geese painted with hard edges ad the sky loosely painted with soft edges.

Di's first three tips for painting more loosely were discussed. 
The next three tips will follow on 21st November.

Next month our optional theme is:

REPEATED MOTIFS / PATTERNS in a scene, abstract or design.
