some diverse things this week
Mary was trying to paint a picture a day – but they were taking a bit longer
Sue had painted a really effective nude
Bee had painted some allium seed heads in water-based oil paints – weird but true
Jane was doing this lovely water colour
some of us were thinking about Christmas
Paulette was doing a beautiful water colour
Birgitte had started another rug
… and Eric was sketching the gite
We were thinking about Christmas today
Cas had made this beautiful mermaid sleeping bag
Birgitte had finished her rag rug and Hilary was still working away at hers
Mary was painting another stunning picture
… and Jackie was experimenting with water colour
some lovely work today
Anne finished two paintings today and started a third!
Jane did a beautiful water colour and Sue did this stunning water colour of her dog
I think this fishing boat painting is finished – I stuck the net on with the paint, so we will see whether it stays there
… and this painting just evolved during the afternoon, not sure whether to put some houses in it
and on Thursday …
lots of knitting
A busy Tuesday morning with knitting …
Frances finished her infinity scarf and Joy is modelling
Another peek into Mary’s work box – her ribbon stash
Brigitte was painting a cute little box and Mary was making i-pad cases
Cas had been making cards – and knitting – it was a theme this morning
the rest of the week
Bee has finished her pears – she used water-based oil paints – a new phenomena
Helen brought in a rag doll that she had bought at a market which had no face – so Mary painted one – beautiful
Jan has finished her shrimps and I did a water colour and an oil – which isn’t finished
Acrylic with Texture
This morning John Rogers came and did a demonstration on acrylics using texture. He splashed some acrylic paint onto clear plastic and glued it onto the canvas, peeling off the plastic to reveal the shapes underneath
After a spot of lunch we all had a go in the afternoon – the results are interesting!
sunflowers
Margaret brought me some beautiful sunflowers on Tuesday which prompted some lovely work
some knitting, weaving, ceramic painting and cork work
A painted box, pastel work and delicate water colours
… and Bee is getting on really well with the pears – love it!
pears and an embroidered cat
I love peeking into people’s work boxes
Three of us were painting pears this week
Jane was painting the same picture in water colour and then acrylic – why not!
… and Mary had finished the embroidered cat
corks, lamps, crochet squares and a few pictures
