Dunmow Art Group in Foakes Hall - Monday 22nd January 2024

Audrey will be running a session on abstract landscape in acrylics on Monday the 22nd January 2024.  Please see the message from Audrey regarding the materials required below:

Materials required:

Acrylic paint - any colours,  but I suggest at least 2 primary colours plus a black and a white. 

Brushes - medium and small at a minimum, but any will do

Pencil

Thickish paper about 140lb any size. I suggest 2-3 sheets of A4.

Palette and water pot

Optional:

Board/mat and masking tape to give you clean edges. 

As usual, there will be items you can borrow if needed, don't feel you need to rush out and buy things.

As always if you don't fancy this, you are welcome to bring your own project to work on. 

Please remember to bring your own mug - thank you :)

Another therapeutic afternoon spent collaging at Dunmow Art Group in Foakes Hall - thank you Fabienne! #dunmowartgroup

 

Lovely to see so many new faces today at Dunmow Art Group when the lovely Fabienne demonstrated how to cut and layer different shapes/shades to create a collage. These are our works in progress from 8th January 2024. #dunmowartgroup

He has studied watercolour all his adult life and has been teaching and exhibiting paintings for over thirty years, turning professional in 1998 after spending 22 years in engineering.

He gives demonstrations to clubs and societies, has tutored at the FSC at Flatford Mill and is a regular contributor to ‘Leisure Painter’ magazine.
