If you look at Frank Bingley’s blog about painting,’ en plein air’ at Kibworth Post Mill you will realise what a great evening out for Club members it was. A little disappointing that only four of us turned up and one hopes for more next time. We were joined by two non-members that had read about the event on the website.
The last time we met, in July, the demonstrator couldn’t come because there had been a sudden family problem for him. We were indebted to two visitors who rescued the evening by bringing a video by Tim Fisher. He was showing how to paint in the open air using coloured pencils, colour sticks and ink pens that bleed when touched with a water carrying brush. Since I had all of the equipment he was using I decided I would try his technique when painting at Kibworth Post Mill.
I have added the painting here, still on my board, to show my effort in the two hours we had. And if you look carefully you can see Frank!
Don't be too disappointed at the low turnout Ken, as not many other members knew about this activity in time to attend. All those present had a brilliant evening painting, including the two non-members who actually attended by invitation.
ReplyDeleteYour painting here accurately follows the method used in the video tutorial, and is a lovely fluid piece of work.
Here's looking forward to the next outing. How do you fancy painting outdoors in the cold weather (fingerless mittens and overcoat to boot naturally)!
