During this session, more artwork was made in the “circles sketchbook” using a variety of mixed media including watercolour paint, posca pens and tissue! Someone else took the opportunity to test out their new coloured pencils, looking particularly at the three primaries (red, yellow and blue) and having two of each, a ‘warm’ and a ‘cool’; they then played with mixing them (by overlaying the pencils marks over each other) to see what happens. 

We have some beautiful waterlily leaves in the “leaf sketchbook” which I believe is now completed! Another sketchbook shows some studies looking into light, pale colour ideas as well as experimentation with a multi-view picture composition. And a watercolour test (there were more) of flowers, trying out different techniques and compositions in preparation for the larger work. 

Well done, everyone, such fantastic and wonderful ideas!
