Christmas Exhibition 20 to 25 November

We have a good show in the Weavers Gallery with more than 70 paintings displayed and more in browsers and there's a good range of cards for sale.

As so often happens, the photographic images shown in this post fail to do justice to the paintings.

Marion Yeo - Acrylic Landscape

Marion Yeo is a Worcester based artist who uses nature as her inspiration. Her reference photo for the demonstration was of a forest in Cornwall.

She usually lays down some colour on her canvas before beginning a painting. In this instance she has used a two-tone background.



The next step is to indicate some of the main features - in this case the edges of the river and the tree trunks and larger branches. This was done using Payne's Grey.

She kept us well entertained with a series of quotations and stories as well as describing her working methods.

She continued to add darker values and then added some white for parts of the river and as an under-painting for brighter leaves.
