Life Class with Donn Evans at Stamford Arts Centre

I attended a workshop yesterday for the day at The Stamford Arts Centre, hosted by the Welland Valley Art Society. The workshop was tutored by Donn Evans, an inspiring man, and the day was spent discussing life drawing, specifically using stong line.

I think though that I must have been a bit under the weather, perhaps from getting so cold during my trip to Ferry Meadows the day before, because I kept getting the hot and colds and a insistant headache that wouldnt budge even with a couple of paracetamol!

Still, had great fun and learnt loads.

Landscape in felt-tip pens

I had great fun doing this! Somehow, using felt-tip pens doesnt feel like something an adult should do, let alone use them as a serious medium, but my course work calls for work a landscape in felt-tips so this was my first attempt today at Ferry Meadows.Align Centre
A glorious day made the time fly by. I had a picnic table all to myself, my face has even gone a bit red from the sun, and lots of curious and well intentioned people offering general chit chat and advice!
What more could I ask for!

Lucky & Lexie

A friend commissioned this portrait in September last year! Not a good friend I've turned out to be then considering we are now nearly at the end of February!

Still better late than never
