Challenge 2009

Here are Jack's photos of the 2009 challenge. Each member had to tell a bit about why they painted what they did. Diane and Josee had entered their paintings in the Floyd Gibson Colours Show. Jack caught Diane at the Lawrence House last evening, at the reception, and Josee had her original drawing, of the painting, and talked about it at Thursday group.

Lorna's Non-Objective Acrylic Demo


We arrived, ready to try something new, and had been advised to wear old clothes. Here Linda is taking the advice to "cover up" very seriously!
After Lorna's demo, we practised pouring paint onto our paper or canvas, and moving it around with large brushes and spray bottles. Sometimes shapes were covered up by other shapes. No-one really knew how it would all turn out!

A few words of advice.






Rita's lovely painting, which she had finished later at home.
