John Harrison – Demonstration in Line and Wash
2nd February 2024 – John Harrison was welcomed back to give a demonstration of painting a landscape using line and wash. It was a very enjoyable morning in which he shared his techniques as well as giving us so many useful tips and ideas. He brought copies of his new ‘Colouring Book’ which contain line drawings as a practical learning tool. He has also published a book ‘Pen and Wash’ which will soon be available to purchase on Amazon.
Black ink and bleach
The workshop on 19th May was organised and led by Louise. She explained the technique of bleach painting and brought in some excellent examples of her work. We wore aprons and protective gloves. Everyone found the process fascinating and some of the results are amazing.
A is for Alphabet
And B is for Book.
The workshop, led by Lynda, was about creating an altered book using alphabet stamps, inks, paints, photos etc. This is a recognised art form where an old book is transformed into a new book. Members were asked to bring in a small, unwanted book and Lynda brought in many ideas, examples and items they could use. Some very interesting work was produced.
