Again a
short blog as annoyingly the plans to
combine face to face- suitably masked
& zoom came to nothing- defeated by the
wind, clouds & generally gloomy weather,
what has happened to our normal June
sunshine I wonder?
Given that
various people couldn’t attend on zoom, I
just sent out another painting to copy, &
then withdrew it as ‘even’ I the ‘artist’
couldn’t reproduce my own painting! I
obviously painted Profusion des Fleurs quite
a few years ago, & sold it
but somehow couldn’t quite master the
profusion bit as I would have liked.
Interesting how ‘one’s’ style changes & now
my flowers are more watery & less precise,
so again much easier to reproduce as relaxed
easygoing paintings.
So back to
the drawing board with a suggestion of
trying out an exuberant sunflower, which one
of the students has copied in his own style,
see the gallery. Me too, & it was fun to
splash out, drop in salt crystals etc, &
generally relax.
We shall be
going back to zoom next Friday, see the
sessions on the web site for the next
subject, which could be a challenge as it
involves dark stormy clouds, rocks & sea,
watch this space.
If anyone
other than those closely involved wants to
drop me a line, through the contact slot on
the site, then I’m always happy to answer
any questions if I can, & I hope the tips
etc help you to paint along at home! |
