SKETCHING AT LEPE BEACH

 Lepe was lovely and lively today with half term in full swing.



Eight adventurous artists set about painting the day....


..but a heavy mist rolled in and joined the sea to the sky and hid the Isle of Wight, not ideal.




Nevertheless everyone showed their determination and presented impressive work.



We went to the Lookout beach cafe for refreshments and arty chat and would you believe it? The sun came through and lifted that mist away!!

FEBRUARY ART AFTERNOON

 

Once a month, for a relaxing couple of hours on a Tuesday afternoon, we have the chance to share art tips, different ways of making art and encourage each other.


Our lives are so busy, it is one of the best ways to increase our commitment and motivation, as well as our creativity!

GEORGIA O'KEEFFE WORKSHOP WITH GAIL

 Our February workshop at Calmore Community Centre was enthusiastically presented by Gail, taking inspiration from the work of Georgia O'Keeffe the influential American modernist artist. 

Georgia wrote: “I often painted fragments of things because it seemed to make my statement as well as or better than the whole could.”








Such a range of paintings from the enormous to the minutely observed.  

A huge thank you to Gail for her inspiring guidance. Well done to all who came.  

What fun in such good company!
