Portrait in Charcoal
Anthony Barrow gave an excellent demonstration on the 30th June, which was informative, inspiring and entertaining. He showed us his very effective technique of using charcoal and acrylic glazes with an eraser/damp cloth to create his extraordinary artwork. He brought in lots of his completed works which were impressive. We will have go at trying out this technique next week.

World Giraffe Day
Did you know that 21st June is World Giraffe Day? It celebrates the tallest animal on the longest day (or night) of the year!
Janet organised this session for members to paint these wonderful animals whose numbers are decreasing. We had lots of photographs and ideas to help with the artwork.

Hints and tips
Unfortunately, due to personal circumstances, Fran and Mark Burgum had to cancel their workshop. Carol stepped in and led a workshop giving a lot of Hints and Tips to improve our pencil drawing and sketching. She brought in many different examples and ideas to work from to practice the techniques.
