Gail organised a fun working evening inspired by the Delft hand painted ceramic tiles in May.
Our results were stunning!
We had bright spring afternoon in a beautiful setting at The Old Mill at Holbury.
The charismatic thatched Old Mill Inn was a popular choice of subject for our artists.
One or two were captivated by a section of the tumbling mill stream, now hidden in the woods.
Animals, nature and the outdoors were on our minds this month.
Professional artist Wendy Jelbert demonstrated how she uses acrylics in April.
She worked on watercolour paper from a prepared outline sketch based in a photograph and laid down transparent background washes.
Some of her trademark watercolour techniques were used, such as negative painting background around the people shapes, soft wet-into-wet gradation and masking fluid applied with pen to preserve white areas.
