Today we did a combination of work including own work, small pictures and larger pictures, suitable for gifting as seasonal artists cards and pictures, and the beginnings of printmaking! It’s always good to find ways to share our artwork with others, and Christmas is a perfect time for this.
In the brief we had some examples of small artwork measuring 6 x 6cm, and some of you experimented with this size, using previous artwork as a primary source, as well as direct observation through the wonderful window views at the hall, with beautiful results - lovely compositions, mark-making, line work, texture and detail.
We also have some exciting layered watercolour work (potentially still in progress), building up subtle and nuanced marks, textures and depth.
One person made a start on printmaking, experimenting with roughs, seeing what the ink is like and how it behaves. There is even a print on some silver paper!
Well done everyone, a really lovely and enjoyable session.
