Poetry, Concentration and Control

Three pieces by Daph Willett, the first of which is a poem

View from Sellack

Sue Murphy writes, "After the latest Paint-in Live with Norfolk Painting School here is my attempt. We were invited to paint a view of our own, but in the style of Cezanne, who painted views of Mont St  Victoire in France.  This is the View from Sellack, style of Cezanne in oils, 12 x 16 in.  On this occasion I used Fabriano Oil Paper but having previously found it too slippy, this time I prepared it with a coat of pink gesso.  It made a very short ground to work on, but I’ll be interested to see what it’s like when I take it off the board that I had attached it to."

Acrylics by Sarah Amery

Two paintings by Sarah Amery. "The sea painting is in Acrylic and is very large, A1 size, the biggest I have ever attempted! The sunflower (much smaller)has colourful beads in the middle to
make it 3D, it is also in acrylic. I used metallic paint for the background."

Challenging Greens and Jacobean Crewel

Sue Embrey  wrote "... thought I’d share this as it was a real challenge to get the greens right. I had to keep thinking warm or cool! It’s a place called Chiltern in Victoria and it reminds me a little of the beech woods near High Wycombe. Fun to do!!  Pastel on mount card."

Needlework is another of Sue's talents

Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside

With the current restrictions we cannot get to the sea but Bill Sayer has brought the sea to us.

She says the experience was fun, cutting out and painting the rocks.
