Life Drawing with Julie Arnall

Last night we were joined by Julie Arnall and her lovely model Helen for a life drawing session. Here's a sample of some of the resulting sketches.

Ruth Wilson Wins Best in Show! Dunmow Art Group held their Autumn Exhibition on the weekend of 11 – 12 October. Local artist, Ruth Wilson wins Dunmow Art Group’s Best in Show award for her acrylic artwork ‘Rainy Menorca’. Ruth says ‘What a lovely surprise to have received this accolade, thank you for your votes. This scene was painted from one of my own photos, the view caught my eye along one of the many tiny streets of Ciutadella. The rain which had come down very heavily just before hand created some super reflections on the pavements, enhanced by the sun making a slow return. I always enjoy painting scenes from my travels whether close to home of further afield. Dunmow Art Group has been really supportive of my work, and I am pleased to be part of such a welcoming community.’ More of Ruth’s work can be found on her Instagram account @ruth.wilsonart or her website www.ruth-wilson-art.webnode.co.uk Dunmow Art Group has a long history of supporting artists and art lovers in Dunmow and the surrounding area and has a regular programme of weekly art meetings/classes and monthly visiting artists.

Last week we created a variety of backgrounds painting on silk with Jannetta Sosin. This week we used gutter to create shapes and outlines for our finished designs. Fun was had by all! Thank you Jannetta - we look forward to taking all we have learnt and creating more designs 😊 🎨. We were also joined by several other members of the art group who were working on their own pieces. 🎨
