What a long day yesterday turned out to be. No tables in the meeting hall, and I´ve had to cancel my workshop on Friday because of yet another fiesta in the village.... 12 disappointed students. Now I´m having difficulty re-scheduling as all the Fridays are booked up for the next 5 weeks!!
Had great fun going through our Design Group assignment, my sketchbook is almost up to date now. Just a few photos to be printed and added. It´s amazing how much we´ve achieved in the year we have been working on the exercises. Other VSS group members looked at the sketchbook and were very impressed!! I´m quite proud of myself, it´s the first time I have done anything like this and followed it through from start to finish. Only five more exercises, hope to finish by the end of the year.
Aren´t these autumn leaves amazing. I spotted them a couple of weeks ago early one morning in the garden, and was fascinated by the colours and how evenly the leaflets are all marked . Within a day they had changed again. At the time I was looking for inspiration for a homework assignment in our design course. Unfortunately these leaves didn´t meet the homework criteria but I must be able to do something creative with this inspiration at another time!
Today I aim to stretch some lining paper, which should dry ultra-quick in this heat. Then to see what I remember about watercolour washes which I learned from my wonderfully talented artist Dad and Mum during my recent UK trip!
