Picture Gallery

These four pictures were taken a couple of weeks ago at a sketching evening when we were all supposed to be drawing old boots. Surprisingly they are quite interesting to draw because they mix hard and soft lines, reflections and deep darks. Much more of a challenge than you would think. Can you spot the odd drawing out?

At a recent meeting we all painted away for just under two hours. At the end of the allotted time we photographed some of the pictures and here they are. We were supposedly painting sunsets but as usual the results were mixed in both content and quality. Please forgive the poor photographs but a hand held mobile phone is not a good camera!

This picture is painted in Acrylics on a 20" by 30" stretched canvas base. Some of the granddaughters dolls were sat there against the wall looking nice so I just painted them as you might. She loves the picture so much she now comes to the group every week with her best friend and they are making great progress.

I painted this picture one day in Whitby it's the last of a series and was painted from the car park by the supermarket. It's painted in Acrylics and was done in around an hour late on the afternoon following a storm. I was trying to capture the light. Again it's on a 20" by 30" stretched canvas.

This picture is painted in watercolour from a view I saw near Lathkill Dale Derbyshire. The trees and the secret of the path just captured my eye. I painted quite quickly while still wet so the small gaps stop the colours running into each other.

This was one of those lovely accidents out walking near Milford and there it was a Bonfire in the mist. Again it has been painted in watercolours and the soft background is wonderful.

As ever apologies to everybody for my photography, the colour rendering and the high compression ratios required to ensure downloads don't take too long. The results are acceptable but not great sorry. We all sell some of our pictures and a few of do commisions. If you wish to see the real pictures contact us or come along one Thursday and have a look.
