11th April 2025 – Today’s workshop was led by Edward Foster, a professional artist, musician and author. He brought in many examples of his artwork and explained his approach to creating an imaginative illustration. He took us through different exercises to open up our imagination and we completed various observational drawings. It was an enjoyable morning.
4th April 2025 – To start the new month off we spent the morning creating rainy day pictures with ‘April Showers’ as the theme. Janet brought in a few pictures/photos as helpful ideas to inspire us.
28th March 2025 – This workshop was a continuation from last week of making an Abstract Landscape with Esther Waite. Some wonderful work was produced. Members also wanted to know how to make Gelli Prints and Esther kindly did a demonstration for those interested. We would like to thank Esther for her skills and generosity.
21st March 2025 – Esther described how she makes different materials to create her abstract landscape collages. She talked through all the items she brought in, explaining the methods she uses to paint on various types of tissue paper and how using Mica powder creates an illuminating effect on paint. We all had a go at making our own pieces/designs. Esther will be back next week to talk through assembling the different pieces to create our own abstract landscape.
14th March 2025 – This workshop was led by Lynne. Members had a lovely morning recreating artwork with an Irish theme.
