ADVENTUROUS ARTISTS SKETCHING GROUP. This is now working well. The meetings are on the second Wednesday of the month. The last was an outing to Lepe Country Park with a chat in the cafe afterwards.

.INGENIOUS ARTISTS GROUP

This is a new group starting on the third Monday of the month and held via Messenger Rooms ( so you can stay at home in the warm) Each month we will produce art works on a given subject and then show our results and discuss them and anything else vaguely art related such as other work we've done, problems we've encountered, artists/exhibitions/ paintings etc we've come across lately.   Our main aim is to use different media, techniques etc and our imaginations and creativity .Our first meeting was very successful. The subject was "animals" and art work ranged from tigers to butterflies in mixed media with a lino- printed owl by Helen and a collaged dragonfly by Betty.

Our next subject is "Our Environmental Crisis" and anything goes!! See the results on December 20th at 7-30pm. Di has the link so contact her and join in .

THREE SCORE CLUB MEETINGS  

These have started again on the fourth Wednesday of the month at 7-30pm. 

At the first meeting members tried leaf printing as well as showing their paintings done during the lockdown period. It was obvious that there is alot of talent in the Society!

Here is a report from Di on the latest meeting. 

Our November meeting focused on negative spaces. There were 2 videos and Helen and Di demonstrated drawing. Henry answered questions about his fabulous poured painting "FLOW" which he had embellished with gold & bronze paint and also applied a resin finish to it. Finally the members drew one of their shoes paying attention to the negative spaces.

HYTHE PARK

 SKETCHING AT HYTHE MEMORIAL PARK 8 th SEP

This venue was arranged by Helen. Report by Di

September sketching at Hythe Memorial Park was beautiful (except for the noisy saw). Twelve of us were there and it was so lovely to see Jean again after more than a year. A perfect location picked by Helen. The Lord Nelson pub was a great place for a drink and a chat afterwards.

And it was high tide!

 HOLBURY MILL

Sketching at the Old Mill at Holbury

Our Adventurous artists were spoilt for choice at the Old Mill Inn at Holbury on 11th August. Lorna, Janet, David, Helen and Di found the mill stream in the wooded area. The sunlight through the trees and on the water was beautiful. Harry made a sketch of the inn and the others sketched the garden. It was another memorable afternoon.

AT LAST!! SKETCHING OUTDOORS AGAIN!!

 SKETCHING AT ASHLETT CREEK

Report by DI:-

Some members of the Adventurous Artists Sketching Group have been meeting online since last November.  Meetings outdoors resumed in June this year and in July Ashlett Creek was a perfect location for sketching on a warm sunny day.  Zoom regulars Ali, Gail, Pam K, Helen, Pam R, Di, Catherine, Muriel, Betty and Tony, Harry, Lorna, Janet, Pat G and Catherine. Happily Muriel was walking again and Gail was accompanied by her sister Sue. 

Most of us settled opposite the tide mill only to discover that the proportions of the buildings and the windows could be challenging to draw - many were individually-sized and placed asymmetrically. Drawing boats was a lot easier. Our drink and a chat outside the Jolly Sailor pub rounded off the afternoon perfectly.

 

PS by Betty

 We are all very grateful to DI as she has kept us going with Zoom sessions which have been inspirational and encouraging. We saw how we were each tackling our own projects and were inspired and encouraged to try new ones. Gentle criticism from the other members was very helpful  and hopefully we will continue with the Zoom meetings at any time if we cannot have the normal ones.  Above all it kept us together socially. The Zoom system is very easy to use -just click on the link Di sends and open. So a BIG THANK YOU Di!!

SKETCHING AT BANK, LYNDHURST

 October Sketching at Bank, Lyndhurst

A magical sketching afternoon near the Oak Inn on Wednesday 7th October, Colin, Sue, Pam K, Ali, Helen and I (Di) enjoyed the forest experience. One pony came to make friends with two of us. We had our break afterwards in the Oak Inn garden. 

ADVENTUROUS ARTISTS OUT AND ABOUT AGAIN

Some members have braved the virus and have been sketching with suitable social distancing.

In September they visited The Rockingham Arms and Canada Common.

 Six of us enjoyed a beautiful afternoon sketching at Canada Common. So lucky with the weather and the ponies grazing to enhance the scene. The popular Rockingham Arms pub was perfect for a break and a chat afterwards.
