Writtle Art Group looks at Mountain Scenes with People

Wet in wet skies, scraping out rocks, and placing simple people in a composition where all discussed and used in Writtle Art Group's latest tuition session.  Not easy but we all enjoyed having a go!

Spring Term Tuition

We will have 3  tuition sessions this term.

January 13th with Alan

Mountain Scene  This allows us to look at skies, people in pictures as well as finding another use for all the plastic cards we have in our wallets and purses - we will use them to scrape out rocks!




















March 3rd with Colin Steed - Watercolour 


April 7th with Alan 

Waterfall - Mixing colours on the paper, dropping in colours for texture, and blending are all skills used to create the waterfall rocks. Painting negatively is used to create aspects of the waterfall and we look at two ways of creating water spray effects..
