Members looking forward to next week’s zoom demonstration have something extra to excite them!

Kerry Bennett will be demonstrating how to paint abstract landscapes – but with you painting along at home. 

Hopefully many of you will take part – this is a lot of fun to create and quite unpredictable.

Time permitting Kerry will also demonstrate creating landscapes using watercolour and black Chinese ink.

Joining details for the zoom meeting will be emailed to members this week.

REQUIREMENTS for the paint along

A3 or A4 watercolour paper, NOT cold pressed

A credit card or a piece of stiff plastic.

A water spray bottle

Watercolour in tubes  between 3 or 4 colours.  Pans will not really work well for this as what is needed is a thick blob of paint to scrape on the paper, but if you can create a thick paste from the pans it will be okay.

A large brush for wetting the paper.  

A board a little bigger than the paper and masking tape to tape all 4 sides down.

A hairdryer, or hot air gun.  If you want you can also use other mediums, like white gouache, fine salt, a fine tip ink pen.

Kitchen towel and/or cloths.

2 containers of water and plenty of creative imagination.

Juggling all this and our screens might prove challenging for some of us!
