Twelve members and two guests attended this week's workshop in wonderful spring-like weather.
It was nigh windless!
We were lucky to have Karin Davel - a semi-retired high school art teacher and a very gifted all-round artist - come and show us colour mixing using pairs of colours (see below). From these pairs we noted a wide range of browns and greys, and with water were able to vary their intensity.
Useful and interesting.
Karin had brought an unusual subject for us to practice on: teddy bears!
Without thinking detail (a bit like painting when you have taken your glasses off!) Karin suggested we painted her big teddy with circles and ovals, and using some of the colour mixes we had previously created.
Karin is articulate and well versed in so many different aspects of art that it was a privilege to have her spend time with us.
Thanks Rob McAlpine and Maureen Copley for the photos.
