Rosehips, drawing and watercolour

Gorgeous artwork by Ken 

When I choose images to adorn this blog, I am usually spoilt for choice. I don't always remember to take photos during a class, and sometimes when I do, I"m not sure who's artwork it is, after the event! So I choose a random selection each time, to show what has been going on in the studio, and hopefully this will encourage others to join in. 

Glynis's lovely painting 

 It's such a pleasure to be n the lookout for nature's bounty, and the rose hopes this year were plentiful and lush. I got the best ones from the hedgerows along the Comber Greenway (thought the most enormous offerings every year are usually in the central reservation of the dual carriageways, but I don't stop to collect those....!)


Beautiful and delicate, by Toni

It's always lovely to see how everyone creates their own unique artwork, and it is very beneficial that we all work on the same subject at the same time. We learn from each other - and benefit from the encouragement of those around us. 

Two lovely studies by Phil, who joins the class using Zoom 

Georgie's rose hip, in coloured pencil.
All the paintings here were done during one two and a half hour session, except the one below, which is by Nicki. She was enjoying it so much that she did extra time and got it finished. And what a winning result! And LOOK at those TILES!!!

This artwork is by Nicki, and I'm sure you agree that it's STUNNING!!
