Janet Grant's demonstration on 'Using Masking Fluid in Watercolour'

 

Demonstration Evening - 3rd November 2009
Janet Grant
'Using masking fluid with watercolour'

Janet once again provided us with a fascinating evening, introducing us to her techniques for employing masking fluid. Most of us had never had a proper lesson in using the method so the interest level was high.

Janet finished off the evening by producing 'one she made earlier'; in fact about three weeks ago, thus demonstrating that the fluid could be left longer in place on the painting than most people thought. Rubbing the fluid off the watercolour demonstrated the great effect to which it could be used.

a demonstration by Lynne Holehouse of the Seventh Wave Gallery in Bude.

All Day Workshop
Tutor - Lynne Holehouse from
The Seventh Wave Gallery, Bude.

'Figures in Landscape'

Lynne, an experienced art teacher, ran an interesting full day workshop, attended by sixteen members.

Norma Brookhouse
'Realism into Abstract'

Norma gave a fascinating demonstration of moving from realism into abstract painting. Norma, a well established painter, is well accustomed to lecturing on art and made the evening a fascinating one for all who attended.

Norma is pictured here on the left, adding the final touches to her demonstration piece
