Working in the style of Sheila FELL

Nicola SUTCLIFFE – Talk and Workshop on Fashion Illustration
31st January 2025 – Nicola is a fashion illustrator and brought in her stunning artwork, Chanel books she illustrated, fashion magazines, photos and lots of tools for members to use as part of her workshop. We started by practising drawing the human frame and encouraged to use a loose painting style. We then did quick 5 minute sketches of Nicola in different poses followed by creating our own artwork using an image from one of the magazines/photos. It was a challenging and thoroughly enjoyable morning.

Light Fantastic Decorations
6th December 2024 – Today’s workshop was organised and led by Mark Siggins and Helen Somerville. Mark brought in his some of his own designs painted on bottles, jars, ramekins etc. and explained the pros and cons of different techniques he used. He also provided lots of material and pictures to help us with our own creations. We all had an enjoyable morning and the final results looked absolutely ‘fantastic’ especially with the lighting.
