A double Gallery today...1st, last weeks own subjects. Not so many as some of the group are working on our commission, The illustrations for a book which will be published soon.
Today’s work was a lovely subject with some egrets gathering on a lake. A good exercise in painting water and reflections which the group handled very well. The extra painting is a commission which John was asked to do.
Great work everybody.

A huge thank you to Phil Biggs who drove down to Barnston from Lincolnshire today to take the workshop in watercolour. A great style inspired by the work of James Fletcher-Watson. Thank you Phil, hope you will come back to Barnston again.

Also, a very moving farewell to one of our regular artists who is moving to Edinburgh. We will miss you Rowena but send our very best wishes to you. Who knows, we may have an away day painting trip to Edinburgh one day. Do stay in touch. X

After a week away tutoring at Flatford Mill, I was back at Barnston Art Group today with a great subject for the group - Blythburgh Church in twilight. Some great techniques which the group successfully mastered and a very pleasing gallery emerged. Good to be back BAG. This Friday is the oil class, can’t wait.

Own subject day at Barnston today and very productive it was too. I love the display on these days, so much variety in both subject and medium used.

Watercolour today at Barnston Art Group and the subject by request was ‘reflections’. I gave the group a choice of 2 photos for reference and it was good to see the outcome. Well done all! We are gearing up now for our annual arts and craft exhibition on 7th and 8th September. Hope you can make it, we would love to see you there.

Today’s oil painting class at Barnston Art Group was very well attended and the subject was a lady in the shallows after Robert Hagan. Phot reference courtesy of Robert. Some are still a WIP but all are showing great potential to be a good finished painting. Great cake too, thank you Maureen.
