8th    Creative evening – Limited Palette.

For this you’re only going to be allowed paper, Payne’s grey or black, white and one colour.  Nearer the time there will be an explanatory example for you to see.  This is a great exercise in how not to use too many colours and to experience what can be achieved with a very limited palette.

11th    Creative evening – People and Pets.  Portrait night, but with your own photos of your family or your pets and in your own choice of medium.  Although it is lovely to have a live model, the lighting in the Hall is not ideal to get the really good darks and bright lights, hence the photos. In a photo you can get the light just right, or if like me not always just as you would like then the computer will help out.

9th    Creative Evening – Finding the abstract.  We’ve all got loads of photos of scenes, people, pets, flowers etc that at some point or other we were going to paint.  Get those out and magnify them and see what shapes and hidden depths you can find in them.  An explanatory example will be available with a bit more information nearer the day.
