Due to Covid-19 our weekly meetings remain cancelled until further notice. This page is to allow Rosemary to post projects and completed work from members. Send completed work to Rosemary at [email protected]

17 Nov 2020 Rosemary: This week I would like you to think about animals. As we did last year with the portraits, draw a picture of your favourite animal without taking the pen off the paper. This could incorporate different movements of your animal and the lines will overlap but will make it come alive. You can take your pen off the paper but put it back in the same place! Try to fill the whole paper and shade or colour the shapes left between the lines.

10 Nov 2020 Rosemary: Every year we do something based on Autumn - we have covered most aspects - colour, movement, mist and mellow fruitfulness, etc and this year the title is just Autumn. The challenge is that your picture should be produced only one and a hal inches (or approx 3cm) square! Out with the tiny paint brishes and fine pens!

Pieces this week from Paul, Sylvia, Steve and Veronica.

Sylvia Beaumont: Cyclamen

Steve Chambers: Goldfinch, Pied Flycatcher, Swift, Wren

Paul Morel: BOOK COVER Madingly Mystery

Veronica Taylor: Zephyrus, Greek God of the Gentle West Wind

3 Nov 2020 Rosemary: No particular project set for this week so you can catch up but while you are reading or watching television perhaps think of an illustration for the book/play/film/programme etc. We produced book jacket illustrations once which were very effective. Keep creating! Pencils, crayons, charcoal, paint, cut-outs all good. And good for us! Pieces this week from Angela, Margie, Steve and Veronica.

Steve Chambers: Light and Shade, Coulour, Line and Composition

Margie McEvoy: Distance

Veronica Taylor: Dining In The Square

Angela Tovell: The Garden, The Glasshouse

27 Oct 2020 Rosemary: I love the way Jan has used light and shade in her portrait so I thought we would remind ourselves about the elements that make up a picture - light and shade, line, shapes and most of all - composition. Purely from your imagination, and under the title Still Life or Garden or Landscape, create a picture thinking about the components above. No worries about perspective or photogrpahic accuracy just excite us with your individuall take on this.

26 Oct 2020 Lots of lovely pieces this week from Angela, Cynthia, Helen, Jan, John, Paul, Ron, Rosemary, and Steve C.

20 Oct 2020 Rosemary: no project this week just "doodle" with a good black pen and see what comes out. Could be the start of a picture or a work of art in its own right! Everyone's doodles are completely original!

19 Oct 2020 Work this week from Chris C, Paul and Angela

Chris Corker: Stairway to Distant Beyond

Paul Morel: Collage

Angela Tovell: Pines, and Willow

12 Oct 2020 This week's projects from Rosemary. Steve's lovely picture is an inspiration for us to have a go at portraiture and led me to suggest a rather unusual challenge: when you pause your television programme, particularly during a drama, you get wonderfully expressive actions and facial expressions. Quickly make sketches of the bits that interest you (preferably not when someone else is trying to watch TV!) and see if you can create a picture from them. Notice the eye levels and light and shade. Alternatively, do some collage (easy, no paint needed!). I cut out bits of colour from one magazine (see photo below) and now I really want to make something out of these shapes. Remember, the photographs you send will look great in their reduced form.

4 Oct 2020 The project for this week from Rosemary. "We have heard a good deal recently about social distancing so the theme is "Distance". Abstract or representational. Remember things get small in the distance and there is less contrast between things".
