Free painting 2nd March

I think the sudden inclement weather this morning cut down the numbers today with just over a dozen of us. However there are slightly more paintings here as I teased a few completed ones out of a bag or two. 

Next week is also free painting but the week after (16th March) will be a 'pop up demo" by our very own member June Elsey. 

I enquired as to what we will be doing , her answer ....." I've no idea" , ha looking forward to it already ! 

Also just a reminder about how to follow the blog. There is a dialog box down the right hand side that asks you to submit your email address. Input it in then press submit, follow the one step instruction and voila you then become a subscriber to the blog.

Free painting and Facebook news !

Eleven paintings to look at here and there was much talk about the eagerly awaited Big Painting Challenge on the BBC last night. Mixed reaction but pretty fair to say that landscapes don't appear to be most competitors favourite subject !

Maybe next weeks portrait programme will be more impressive. 

No matter , we have some landscapes here that are impressive as well as a few other genres.

So, Facebook ! 

I've created a page for us and surprise surprise it's called .....wait for it.....monk fryston art club. 

So go check it it those that have Facebook and request a fried request so I can add you and spread the word. 

Barbara Phillips workshop

Our very own pastel expert Barbara who pants pet pastels in her sleep gave us a demo and chose a cockerel as her choice of subject.

Some chose to follow the technique and apply that to another subject and others did their own thing. 

It was very well received and much learned. 

The first few photos are examples of Barabara's work and then a few cockerels and other efforts.

And now onto this weeks affords
