I've missed a couple of recent sessions due to the virus that's been hounding me. However this Thursday I made it and the subject was `A Winter Scene' - quite broad based. There was a good attendance with twenty one present, in fact it has been over twenty every week this year which is much better.

I did the preliminary drawing the day before after deciding I didn't care for the large panoramas, mostly masses of trees, that appeared when I researched the subject on Google images. I suppose I copped out a little when I settled on birds in a winter setting - still the title allows considerable leeway. I found two such photographs and combined them with elements from each.
This is my normal position and as you can see we are back to normality!

Jo McKenna - this is an ink study

Yvonne Harry - apologies for this very poor reproduction. It was on the floor so difficult to photograph. I'm sure a much better photo will appear on Yvonne's watercolourflorals blog. Yvonne used various textural techniques which I'm sure she will elaborate on her blog.
I've not shown mine on here, other than in the group scene, because it involves my `new' 24 paint palette so I'm doing a separate piece.
