WENDY JELBERT PEOPLE IN THE LANDSCAPE SATURDAY WORKSHOP

Wendy Jelbert demonstrated how figures can add interest to a scene for our autumn Saturday workshop at St John's Church Hall, Marchwood.

The first stage was an outline sketch of the most important features.

Masking fluid was applied in some of the lighter areas, particularly where there were to be white highlights.

Wendy used acrylic medium to thin the paint - particularly useful for subtle layering.

These techniques enabled us to achieve a wide variety of effects.

Thanks to Wendy, we had a truly memorable day!

LINDSEY'S MIXED MEDIA IN SEPTEMBER

Lindsey is well-known for her contemporary paintings inspired by the natural landscape.

She also holds art workshops at Ibsley, near Ringwood.

 

She showed us some of her methods used to create different effects at our September meeting...

...including textural effects with bubble wrap and a variety of other tools such as: silicone scrapers and brushes, a wide-tooth comb or large cocktail stick.

There was an opportunity for questions in the break.

Members also admired a selection of her mixed media paintings and were thoroughly inspired!

MOTTISFONT SKETCHING IN SEPTEMBER

What a lovely September day for ten intrepid Adventurous Artists to discover the historic Mottisfont Abbey grounds.

Every artist picked a subject that appealed to them.

We rounded off a perfect afternoon in the courtyard - one to remember.

Thank you Helen for the location and taking photos.

ART AFTERNOON IN SEPTEMBER

A relaxing and creative afternoon in September and ...

... we were delighted to be joined by a new TAS member. 

 

. Two hours trying out a new idea, practicing new skill ...

... or continuing a piece of artwork.

It's a great way of making time for art without any distractions.

FOOD WORKSHOP EVENING IN AUGUST

We had a relaxed and practical evening drawing and painting a variety of food themed subjects in August.

The challenge was to observe the shapes, colours and textures and record them

using their preferred medium.

The results showed just how every artist sees things differently!
