MULTIPLE MOTIFS AT MARCH 'S ART AFTERNOON
Claire was welcomed back at March's art afternoon at Calmore Community Centre after being away for quite a long time!
Multiple motifs appeared in several pictures.
Grouping similar images together often gives a picture more
impact.....
......while subtle variations causes the viewer to look more closely.
The afternoon can be an opportunity to have a go at something new....
.... with plenty of friendly, supportive feedback!

A LADY IN COSTUME AT OUR FEBRUARY MEETING
Another challenge at February's meeting!
Our model this time was wearing a beautiful embroidered gown.
People used their own choice of medium so the results varied widely.
Many thanks to Helen and her patient model for providing us with such a terrific subject.

SKETCHING AT WHINWHISTLE FISHERIES IN FEBRUARY
SKETCHING AT WHINWHISTLE FISHERIES IN FEBRUARY
Owner Ant Hawthorne looked after us well and the clubhouse was cosy and warm with a log burning stove.
Helen's choice of venue for February's sketching was spot on!

BIRDS & ANIMALS ON A FEBRUARY AFTERNOON
Our February Art Extra afternoon workshop was able to take place but we had to get past the road re-surfacing outside Calmore Community Centre.
This month, by chance, most of us drew our inspiration from birds and animals, except for Kay with two seascapes.
Ali enjoys drawing wildlife using coloured pencils.
Linda practiced painting a cat in acrylics.
Helen paints and draws from nature with texture details.
Kay worked on two seascapes and Lesley used watercolours for her penguins.
Di employed tonal values for her pair of mallard ducks.
Henry loves colour and used it freely in his portrait of a dog.
We use the time to practice pictures or work on finishing a picture. There is always time to chat as well!
