CAROLINE RACKHAM'S LANDSCAPE IN INKS WORKSHOP EVE IN OCTOBER
We very much enjoyed an evening with a difference in October. Caroline showed how she paints with inks on paper and it was a challenge to try her techniques ourselves.

WENDY JELBERT'S FIGURES IN ACRYLICS IN OCTOBER
Wendy Jelbert demonstrated how figures can add interest to a scene for our autumn Saturday workshop at St John's Church Hall, Marchwood. The first stage was an outline sketch of the most important features. Masking fluid was applied in some of the lighter areas, particularly where there were to be white highlights. Wendy used acrylic medium to thin the paint - particularly useful for subtle layering. These techniques enabled us to achieve a wide variety of effects. Here are some members' paintings.

LINDSEY J COLE ON COLD WAX & MIXED MEDIA IN SEPTEMBER
A huge thank you to Lindsey Cole for a brilliant oil mixed media demonstration on Wednesday evening at 3 Score Club, Totton.
T. A. S. members loved seeing how Lindsey brought both abstract and tree landscape paintings to life. Lindsey shared tips and techniques whilst using a range of tools - from Messermeister silicone scraper, Catalyst tool, silicone brushes to everyday items like a wide-tooth comb, large cocktail stick and bubble wrap to add mark-making and texture.
We were thoroughly inspired!
