Today was our last catch-up / own-projects session. Some people continued with the observational drawing topic, with a detailed and layered ‘chrysanthemum’ fir cone in Inktense water-soluble coloured pencil, and an ethereal hyacinth created with a mix of Caran D’Ache Neocolour pastels.
Some had a play with the tinted and black watercolour paper. We’ve got a large charcoal nature scene with arching trees and an inviting, curved pathway. There is a coloured pencil rendering of the pathway just outside the hall, again, another enticing path and view. Also, a homely corner view of a room, which was sketched before coming and then painted in watercolour during the session in vibrant green, red and yellow.
Two richly textured pieces in an evocative amber colour. A pen and watercolour Holmfirth view, capturing the character of the town. A shining jewel like piece, inspired by stained glass, in watercolour and pen. And last but not least, pegs and a washing line, having been blown down, and falling amongst the grass, in coloured pencil with just a touch of water used.
Well done everyone, you did great today!
