Jeudi Art

mardi le 11 et jeudi le 13 août

Birgitta had made some beautiful vintage tiles with just serviettes, pva glue and varnish

Maisie joined us on Tuesday morning and was doing decoupage

On Thursday morning Jackie was painting her watercolour fish and in the afternoon, Jan was continuing with her acrylic

Niamh and Hannah were finishing off their bowls

I was trying acrylics again on a watercolour block – I found it quite difficult after watercolour and oil

A few of us went to see Jan Hagen today, she is a textile artist and colourist. Here are some examples of her beautiful work and we are lucky that she is going to do a needle felting workshop at Jeudi Art this Autumn and next Spring she will be doing a day’s workshop teaching painting on fabric. The dates are yet to be fixed.

We were doing watercolour this morning, Anne was still doing her coastal scene and Mary started to paint a picture frame

Another busy morning with everyone helping each other

Hilary finished her decoupage pot

Brigitta had painted a box and lined the inside with fabric

Stuart was continuing with the chest

I changed the surf boards for a boat in my ‘wave’ painting

discovered!

Whilst sorting out the cupboard I found two paintings that I had done years ago – I put them in the gallery and promptly sold one!

Lots of work in preparation. Tuesday morning has become rather more of a community café – lots of chat and some lovely cake this week with our morning coffee or tea.
