OCOTBER MEETING

Our October meeting was a lovely workshop taught by Judy Minter.  Judy chose a pattern from Kay Kairahnel's book (permission granted).  We started with a cream background and then stencilled in the basic 'chook'.  A rather scary wash of burnt umber over all of that and then detailing in the feathers, and everything else.  We all enjoyed this technique even though we doubted it when we put that dark wash over the bird.

This is my 'chook' and I lost some detail so cheated by fingering in some white

 

Deirdre is relaxing awhile as Jenny and Carolyn labour on

 

This is Judy's finished piece.  Love that wire don't you?

Mary is contemplating her next step. I think it may be a cup of coffee

Can you see that dark wash..... Vi is handling it very well

Carolyn is bringing out the detail

A finished 'chook'

Hmmm....  this one is sideways. Sorry.

They all looked good, didn't they

Deirdre's work is so neat and her brush strokes are always soft and precise

All of the 'chooks' above are from other painters

The finished project!  All looked great
