In April well-known UK artist, Vicki Norcliffe, brought a model. She showed us how to start a portrait and then proceeded with a walkabout coaching us. The workshop ended with a very useful critique of our work. The workshop was enjoyed by all.
The paint out at Chart farm was met with enthusiasm – both the view and the cake!
Our first critique of member’s work was successful .However the critique will be AFTER the meeting if we have a guest speaker. Please bring an easel for the small paintings!
