Janet Bilsbury - Team of Horses - Acrylic
Here John was explaining tonal value by using more or less water to the paint.
Today Ian followed on from pastel work last week to demonstrate wet pastel work
Today's meeting, members tried a different approach to painting than we had ever tried before. First of all we did a watercolour painting to lay down the basic background. When this was dry we applied soft pastels. The watercolour was done wet into wet and very loose and can produce unexpected results. We waited until this was completely dry before applying the pastel. Janet provided us with excellent guidance for the exercise.

Sadly our previous chair of the club, Terry Fairbrother passed away in January after a period of illness. Terry was founder member of the club, which has benefitted enormously from his input over the years. The club made a donation to cancer research and his wife has written to thank the members for the donation and their support. We send kind thoughts and good wishes to his wife and family.
