Nov 13 Drawing Accurately Use pencil or any monochrome medium. Each person bring their own items to create their own pleasing composition from the following six objects a knife, fork and spoon, plate, a piece of string, an egg. Small sized paper is best avoided.
This session is about looking and constantly cross measuring plus getting the correct full range of tonal values. It also leads in nicely to Linda's printing session next week where drawing accurately will be useful.

Dec 4 Anything other than a brush session Back at Woodcote and this time use your imagination to do something different but without brushes. So scissors, glue, sticks, fingers, credit cards, fabric, metal, objet trouvé,
photographs, bus tickets, pages from books for example. Ask yourself, does my work say something, is it a new idea, does it hold the attention and interest of the observer.
Dec 11 Quill and feather Paddy Painting and drawing with a feather using both the quill and the feathery end.
Dec 18 Christmas Party.
The dress code this year is: for the ladies, characters from Lloyd Webber's "Cats" and for men, characters from "Planet of the Apes." We will pack up our paints at Woodcote around 11:30 and drive back to Helen's house for the party.
