Updated 15 Aug 2019 |
10 Sept Startup session What about making our first session in September, when we are back at our pavilion, a morning painting "FIRE". This on the basis that a picture is worth a thousand words and how many would a New Hearns picture take the place of....?
17 Sept Using feelings Linda suggestion. A painting which has three elements where you use your feelings about something such that your feelings can be sensed from the painting without explanation. Examples
24 Sept Wild Skies in Acrylic Acrylic plus medium if available lay it on and make an impact - palette knife or brush etc, concentrate on the sky and light.

Oct 8 TBA P
Oct 15 Oil Paint Limited brush strokes Clive Classic approach to oils and painting with limited rush strokes. Two things rolled into one, 1) Oil Painting and 2) doing the minimum to the greatest effect. This is only a toe in the water session but we can do a lot more in the future if there is a demand. You will need some preparation for this to get the best out of the session. Look at this guide beforehand https://drawpaintacademy.com/oil-painting
Bring your own limited collection of items to make a still life - cups and saucers, pots, fruit etcs
Oct 22 Oil Painting by popular demand, continue to develop
your skills from last week. Bring a prepared board or canvas and small collection of items for your still life. See email from last week for fined detail.
Oct 29 Even Further Oil Painting - everyone having fun and good work done.
Nov 5 Stage set design An exciting and far ranging idea which is just waiting for one of us to put a bit of work in to creating the challenge - it could be carried out in groups if need be and extended over a few weeks.
Nov 12 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.
Nov 19 Printing work Linda I with a view to linocut
Nov 26 Printing work Linda II Extended view to linocuts held at Linda's house.
Dec 3 Anything other than a brush session 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 10 Henry Moore Drawing Session Inspired by Henry Moore / Francis Bacon
In pairs do one large drawing of your partner in 5 to 7 stages of 5 minutes each
Without biro leaving paper draw all over with fast loose “look / draw” scribble drawing
Next soft pencil flowing lines to better define the form
Next black ink to correct or strengthen 10 lines
Next choose two areas to add impact with limited colour pastel
Next use charcoal to push tonal contrast of overall drawing
Lastly use any medium to improve the drawing but be prepared to say why
Dec 17 Christmas Party.
On a more long term note, I saw Dick and Judith Fletcher in Henley Market Place yesterday and asked them if they would agree to our coming and painting in their garden next year.
