Jenny French Demonstration at Writtle Art Group
Burnham Staithe with Jenny French  |
| The Sketch |
Leaving white paper, concentrating on tones and the impact of different types of brush strokes were some of the main lessons from Jenny's session with the Writtle Art Group on Monday 10th March. A picture of Burnham Staithe in Norfolk allowed Jenny to share her knowledge and skills with over 50 members and her friendly approachable style ensured all present had a very enjoyable morning.
