HILLIER GARDEN SKETCHING IN OCTOBER

We had a great TAS Adventurous Artists sketching session at Sir Harold Hillier Gardens enjoying the colours of Autumn. So lucky with the weather too!

ART AFTERNOON IN OCTOBER

 It was lovely to look around the room and see so many of our members at our October Art Afternoon.

So interesting to see how everyone was working on their own painting and developing their skills.

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!
