During August 2020, we saw no reason why our scheduled en plein air event in Welland Park could not go ahead, providing we kept a safe distance apart. However, only a few of us turned up, which was a little disappointing.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span> </span>In January 2021, one of our members posted their painting of the "Breakfast Table" (a competition that we had missed) and it turned out that one or two of us had done a painting for this, so others started to post theirs on Facebook as a competition. There was no clear winner. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"></span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="font-family: trebuchet; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-34uJtMui5GU/YDqnAhl9z7I/AAAAAAAACvE/LMVgZQoOiuwGTg8JanF5ynMxdFUT7W2yACLcBGAsYHQ/s2015/breakfast.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Breakfast Table" border="0" data-original-height="2015" data-original-width="1661" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-34uJtMui5GU/YDqnAhl9z7I/AAAAAAAACvE/LMVgZQoOiuwGTg8JanF5ynMxdFUT7W2yACLcBGAsYHQ/w330-h400/breakfast.jpg" title="Breakfast Table" width="330" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Breakfast Table - Sally Struszkowski</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> Looking at our suspended programme for 2021, we decided to go ahead with our "Famous Painting With A Twist" competition online, but not as a competition, but as a group exercise.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> Now with a third and prolonged lockdown, it became clear that we weren't going to be able to resume any of our planned meetings set out in our 2020/2021 programme, so it was decided that we should have a painting topic for each month.

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">November's meeting was a mini workshop, led by Frank Bingley, on 'Gorgeous Gouache'.</span><br /><br />Members learnt that the history of gouache dates back to the 16th century, although it wasn't until the 20th century it became available in tubes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />It is a water based medium made up of water, pigment and either gum arabic, dextrin or<br />chalk.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Unlike watercolour, gouache is opaque. This means light colours can be painted over dark. The other advantages are it is fast drying, has a matt finish and can be reworked when wetted.</span><br />

The subject was a echinacea flower, from a photograph taken by Frank.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />As always time seemed short and the members had to work hard to complete the painting of the flower, but almost every picture was finished by the deadline.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Although the same basic colours were used, it was interesting to see the differences between the paintings, from the light and delicate to the bright and bold.</span><br />

The members brought in leaves, Autumn fruits or an image to work from. As usual there was a wide range of styles from small and delicate to strong and bold. Various mediums were used including pencil, crayon, watercolour and Gouache. At one stage the concentration was so intense you could have heard a pin drop, but coffee and a biscuit quickly livened things up!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> This month we had a workshop led by Ken Lilley. His aim was to get us all painting figures in a simple constructive way so that we would feel competent to add figures to our landscapes or city cityscapes. He said”, Very little is needed to persuade the viewer that the figure is a credible person, but the proportions must be right. To help this to be effected, he suggested that the head would go into the length of the body 7 times. Michael, standing with his hands in his jean pockets, was used as an example for this rule.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The first task in a sequence of suggested quick paintings was a line of people from the imagination with their backs towards the painter. Next, movement with ink or pencil added to a quick painted figure to give a feel of movement. Lastly, a rainy day with long vertical shadows (from Ken’s sketch book).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">What a treat for members of the Market Harborough Art Club, everyone was engaged with Glenn Badham's power point delivery on Renaissance art. In addition, he did a practical demonstration on how the three kinds of under painting can affect the colour when thin veils of paint and medium are applied to the surface.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />Giotto did his under paintings in green and like magic Christ’s face was transformed to brown when a red glaze was applied to the painting using a soft brush. Glenn then added transparent yellow and orange to warm those browns. He then showed us how the addition of white for the highlights removed any trace of the underpainting.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The third a grisaille (grey tones) detail taken from the famous painting done by Vermeer of a “Girl reading a letter at an open window”. Adding thin washes of yellow over his pre-prepared grey scale painting, then red and blue in darker areas, Glenn transformed the grisaille into colour. He said that by working in this way, an accurate drawing or sketch would not be lost when colour was added.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />Glenn’s presentation and demonstration was highly informative and full of tips and techniques, a lot to take in, so if your art group books Glenn Badham, make sure you take your notebook!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It was our AGM this month and after we'd got through the business in hand, it was time to enjoy ourselves by taking part in the Painting Competition, which is designed to take the stress out of the AGM!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Thirteen members took part and we were allowed to vote for three paintings which we liked. After a refreshment break and milling around the paintings, it was time to count the votes and announce the winners.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This year, Archie scooped 1st place with his painting "Animal, Vegetable and Mineral". New member Helen came second with a miniature painting of her kitten "Poppy". Lastly, two members shared third place, David with "Euphorbia" and me (Frank) with "Cow".</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">In his demonstration, Leicester based artist Andy Shore gave
us a demonstration on how to paint a cityscape (meeting Street, Quorn) using
watercolours. He came prepared with a Saunders Waterford 140lb stretched paper
pre-drawn with portions that were masked out using a stencil and sprayed with
latex. Andy said that this was a much cheaper option than masking fluid and
easier to remove.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">After wetting the surface of the paper and using Winsor
& Newton professional watercolours, he first set about quickly laying a wash
for the sky using lemon yellow and venetian red. Other colours used in the
painting were Cobalt Blue, Cobalt Violet, ultramarine and burnt sienna. The two
cobalt colours were mixed to paint the foreground shadows, after peeling off
the latex.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Andy said that it was possible to glaze darker colours only two
or three times before they started to look muddy. The trees were blocked in at
first, then the finer branches were done using a sword brush. Lastly, finer
details were added, though Andy said that it was best to suggest these
somewhat. Another finishing touch was to lift out some of the paint for
highlights and smoke from one of the chimneys.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This was a super demonstration, much enjoyed by our members.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> Archie produced this fabulous landscape in next to no time, while Frank got lost in the detail of this classic car.

Lynda surprised us all when she got out her knitting needles and started to Knit, then amazed us by producing these three bespoke Christmas cards!<br />

On the whole, the evening showed what true diversity our members have when it comes to art.</div>

A painting of Dresden, which had sold at one of our exhibitions and a transcription of a Monet using coloured tissue paper to create the stratification of the cliffs at Etretat and then adding acrylic and inks.He suggested preparing a sketch book for holidays with random shapes of paper stuck to the pages and using cafe receipts as a background and showed examples of both. Similarly he showed how a still life could be begun with random shapes stuck on to the paper. He also had part of his course work with local artist Brian Taylor using tissue paper to create trees in a landscape painting before adding colour and then putting more PVA glue on the dried painting to give a gloss,bringing out the colour. Frank Bingley and he had been to a workshop by Daniella Vaughan who makes collage using coloured magazine pages but torn, not cut.</span></blockquote>

After another session with Daniella, Ken had created a political portrait of Donald Trump beginning with a background of newsprint of articles about him. To get members started Ken suggested they might try making a towns-cape and showed Julian Trevelyan's painting. They might prefer to use their own ideas and subjects using newspaper or magazine coloured pictures. And off everyone went and 'Wow' what pictures they created!</span></blockquote>

as he talked us through his technique. A useful tip is to use a couple of drops
of Blackfriars liquid driers in a little linseed oil and turpentine. Apply to
the painting in a well-ventilated space. The oil paint will be dry in two to

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Here at Market Harborough Art Club, we are pretty much 'hands on' at our monthly meetings. Our June meeting was very much in that vein, with David Coleman leading our group to paint a Seaside Scene using A5 size paper or card. Most of us managed to end up with a somewhat finished piece, though some took theirs to finish at home.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The idea of the topic is that David will take the finished works and mount them in a display to show at our forthcoming exhibition in October, after the success of our composite image displayed last year attracted quite a bit of interest from visitors to the exhibition.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">If you are wondering what we will be getting up to at our next meeting, do have a look at the programme page on our website.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Three members of our club (including myself) attended a workshop at Wistow Gallery recently, under the tuition of Danielle Vaughn of Sky Portrait Artist of the Year fame. Our medium was to be old magazines ripped to shreds and our brief was to compose a large 45x45cm painting on corrugated cardboard using the paper shreds. The idea intrigued me and I wasn't quite sure how we were going to go about this, especially as Danielle stated that we wouldn't be doing any drawing first.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">After choosing our subject matter, we were instructed to cover the board with a suitable background first. Mine was to be a common gull, which in the photo, had nothing but sea behind it - no sky. I chose to add a sky, with a bay and land in the mid ground.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">It soon became apparent that there is a knack to tearing the paper. When tearing magazines across the page, it was impossible to ear in a straight line, let alone a thin strip. However, tearing a piece down the length of the page gave a reasonably straight line every time. Tearing thin strips got harder though as the hands started to get a bit slippy from the PVA glue we were using to stick them on with. I also realised that one side of the tear left a <a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-od6bHpqDf6g/WrkwejG4vBI/AAAAAAAAB24/tuMboVxzqXEcn37Krv1uN20mqH6Y1fA7wCLcBGAs/s1600/RP_Working.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; clear: right; color: #0066cc; float: right; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-left: 16px; orphans: 2; text-align: center; text-decoration: underline; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"></a><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-od6bHpqDf6g/WrkwejG4vBI/AAAAAAAAB24/tuMboVxzqXEcn37Krv1uN20mqH6Y1fA7wCLcBGAs/s1600/RP_Working.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a>thin, white jagged edge, which worked perfectly as froth on the waves.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">Adding the gull was going to be the part that needed a bit more artistic flair. As we weren't to draw, placing a few pieces of paper at strategic places helped with getting the scale correct. It got really exciting to see the gull slowly appear and how different shapes, colours, text and patterns could be used in composing the work.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Overall, I was surprised at how easy and quick creating artworks like this is, as well as being absolutely fascinating! Most of the works turned out to be really colourful too, and although there wasn't the problem of mixing paint, searching through the magazines for just the right colour did get a bit time consuming.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">Jane didn't quite get her artwork finished, but is shown here as an unfinished work and gives some insight to how the subject matter is built up. No doubt it won't be long before she gets the urge to finish the work done so far.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Ken's Robin shows how colourful some of our artworks turned out to be. He has retained some of the text from the magazines for additional interest.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">For anyone looking for something that little bit different to do, I can highly recommend booking a place at one of Danielle's workshops, which are held periodically at Wistow Gallery's Art Shed.</span></div>

Maxine Dodd did a workshop showing how to put figures into a painting. You could use any medium and I chose, as she did, watercolour. She wanted to create believable people in a crowd with the minimum of detail. She was basing her tuition on a book called "Learn to paint people quickly". A small very encouraging tome by Hazel Soan, which I have bought. I have added here the results of my first efforts but need to continue practicing and as I gain in skill and confidence will try to incorporate figures in other paintings in oils, perhaps.

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Our members brought along their paints to our September meeting to paint a composite picture based on a painting by Cesare Vecellio. The evening was led by David Coleman, who had divided a large photo of Cesare’s famous painting “Portrait of a Large Family” into postcard sized pieces.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: right;">

This was quite a task and meant that we</span></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> had to work quickly with a relatively dark source photo.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Working furiously with our paint brushes and making cheerful banter, most of us managed to complete the task (somewhat) and at the end we assembled each painting in a grid and compared it with the grand master’s original. If Cesare were alive today, I’m sure he would have howled with laughter at our meagre attempts at realism art!</span><br />
