lots of sunflowers
Sunflowers seemed to be the theme today. Sue is making large strides with her painting
Another couple from Patricia
Frances was so impressed (as were we all) with her tissue paper contemporary mixed media painting that she started another one
Anne finished her stag
… and Colin has nearly finished this stunning acrylic
This week’s work
Three pots of flowers
I was struggling to keep the lightness in this picture
Anne was experimenting with paint mixed with glue and WD40. Amazing results
A very graphic painting from Jan
Patricia’s latest acrylic
lots of different things
We were doing a morning of experimenting with different mediums and Anne did these atmospheric paintings with acrylic paint
A beautiful watercolour from Dawn (F)
Sue isa really improving with her watercolours
Margaret was doing a bit of decoupage
Gill was painting some cards
Frances always does beautiful watercolours
We decided to paint flowers in mixed media
The cockerel is finished
Jackie was continuing with her sepia painting from a photograph
another beautiful horse from Christine
Eric has been struggling with this portrait of Jan – he is nearly there
I was also struggling this week with watercolour – it must be the moon or something as Dawn wasn’t happy with this painting of wisteria
and I don’t think Cate was entirely happy with her pastels this week
It was lovely to see Stuart and Michele back. The cockerel came back for some fattening up and Michele was showing us how she covers lampshades
Francis was not affected by the moon and was doing a beautiful watercolour
On Tuesday morning Cate was using gold leave to cover her box – and the floor
Pauline is really improving
another acrylic from Patricia
Daniel was painting this for his ‘soon to be’ grandson
Helen was making this stunning crocheted blanket
Colin was using some watercolour based pens
Sue brought in some cornflowers (we think) and we all did a little workshop
Steve was continuing with his chateau
Anne was teaching herself to crochet
… and I did another tile
from tulips to mittens
Sue was learning to water colour again this week and I think she is doing fantastically well
… this was mine
Both Jackie and Dawn were painting in water colour too on Thursday morning
I found this old one of mine that I had put under the tap because I wasn’t happy with it
These are Patricia’s acrylic paintings this week
Colin was working in pencil and pen
I love this from Pauline, I think she is improving immensely but she was not happy painting on canvas
Gil was doing this wonderful paper cut
Sue was knitting mittens
… and I did another couple of tiles
Tony, the poet and window cleaner man
What a treat, Tony stayed behind after the writing group this morning and cleaned our windows
a busy week
On Tuesday Gill brought in her dye cutting machine for cutting fabric for doing appliqué
Chunky knitting by Margaret
. 
It was lovely to see Cate back in France and she is always trying something new
A couple of paintings by Patricia
Dawn was conning with her oil painting
Steve finished off this one
On Thursday Cate was doing a large pastel
Jackie was doing this ethereal water colour
… and I was painting on roof tiles
lots of seascapes
Patricia did both of these paintings this week
Another water colour from Daniel
A stunning painting in acrylic by Steve
must do this – Dawn (S) had painstakingly painted some colour charts starting with one colour and adding different colours across and white going down. It must have taken ages.
Dawn has finished her archway in water colour
Sally was continuing with her cross stitch
I decided to try another collage – need to get into the swing of this again
I have finished this now
a few pomegranates and a surfer
Colin and Sue came this morning for the first time. Sue had never painted before so this was impressive
and this is one of Patricia’s quick acrylics
