Eric finished his water colour with splatters of gouache and started an interesting picture of a man in a turban
Gill was doing some painting after abandoning the quilling from last week
Patricia didn’t waste much time in getting this painting started

decoupage and more pears
This week Gill was decoupaging (is that a word?) an old cutlery box. Fabulous paper and very cleverly done
Pauline was also decoupaging a tray
Patricia was painting with watercolour
I was revisiting an old oil painting that needed to be more colourful
and framing a watercolour – more pears !!
… and finishing off the little seascape with a regatta
We’re back for 2017

Jackie was sketching a dog
Dawn was doing a study of the corner of the workshop
