This lady always brings in the crowds even if it is only a DVD.
Wednesday 24th was the DVD evening and many members and some visitors turned up to see the DVD that Hazel Soan made some years ago about painting animals in Africa. Apt for all of us here in South Africa.
She started us off with painting flamingoes and jackals, and moved on to zebra and elephants, finishing with a great picture of elephants at a waterhole.
Hazel assures us that watercolour 'is very forgiving' and not at all difficult. Of course, in her hands it would appear that way... but such DVDs are an inspiration and I for one got out my watercolours on return and started some animals.
How about you?
Next meeting is the workshop on February 13th when three of the society's artists will be painting the same still life set up in three different media. That's you chance to see a variety of approaches and techniques - not to mention styles - that the same subject can be interpreted in.
See you there.
Thanks Rob for the group photo and to Hazel for the clips from your video.
