Jennifer was painting ceramics with a special pen. After doing the design you must put them in an over for 30mins at 160 deg.

Jeanette and Mary were embroidering, Brigitta was painting a papier maché bowl and Cas was working on decoupage

mardi et jeudi art 26 février 2015

A wet and miserable week but lots of colour and chatter in the barn. On Tuesday morning lots of crafts as usual

And on Thursday mostly oil painting and acrylic

jeudi le 19 février

A frosty morning today so we decided it was best to stay near the warm stove in the kitchen. Mary was painting a wooden tray with delicate flowers on a black background. Jane was starting an oil painting and I was making placemats from glossy magazines.

The sun warmed us up this afternoon, so we were back in the barn. Jan was working on a beautiful oil of an alpine scene, Eric started a portrait in acrylic and Angela was working on her quirky seaside scene in oil. Amanda was working on her rug and Viv was making hearts. I finished my portrait – I think.

Mardi crafts 17 février 2015

lots of activity this morning. Papier maché and cross stitch, decoupage and knitting. Some beautiful embroidery by Mary and another Mary was making cards with dried flowers. Birgitta was painting her large papier maché bowl and because it is a long process, Cas, Brigid and Brigitta (not the same person – it does get a bit confusing) were doing other activities whilst their bowls were drying – knitting, quilling and decoupage. Jeanette and Margaret were doing cross stitch. Lots of chat as usual

jeudi le 12 février

Jan started a wintery scene in oil and Eric was working on his portrait in acrylic.

someone had taken some sneaky pictures of me painting my portrait

lots of crafts were being done today – knitting, patchwork and rag rugging

looking forward to seeing how this evolves – a mystic painting by Jane

First Jeudi Art for 2015

Despite the cold we had a few people for the first session of the year. Margaret was doing a lovely piece of embroidery and Jenny was using a pallet knife for the first time with oil paints. I was struggling with a portrait that I had started last year and because I use the oil paint really thickly, it had dried in ridges and therefore I found it difficult to apply new paint to blend in. Maxine was working on a still life which will eventually be a stylised picture of wine and cheese.
