New Year 2010

Classes started this week with a few folk missing due to the icy roads.
A couple of spaces on tuesday evening and wednesday pm if anyone out there fancies
an insight into drawing and painting.
I am going to work though some techniques which could have been learnt at junior school
but hope to give them a grown up twist. Actually find that a lot of things we do are worked with in playgroups, which is one of the problems... they are fun and are rejected for not being serious enough. Such a shame as these can be the foundation to good painting.

This week we make scratcher boards (popular in the 70's) - a technique used with incredible effect by John Byrne.
