Avon Valley Artists - Fruit or Vegetables or Both

This was the subject last week at Thursday session. A better attendance with 13 present and a subject most people are happy to tackle. I had to leave slightly earlier due to my six month hearing aid checkup so took photos of my fellow artists working, rather than the finished paintings.


This was my setup


My initial simple drawing. I've enhanced it so the lines are much darker than actual.


The finished painting - Fruit 16" x 12" Centenaire 140lb (300gsm) not


Pat Walker - strawberries


Pauline Vowles -artichokes


Yvonne Harry - rhubarb 


Jo McKenna -beetroot (?)


Terry Twissell - gourd and onions


Jan Weeks -gourd (?)


All in all an enjoyable session with next weeks subject - animals.

Hope your hearing aid check up went okay Peter. Lovely to see works in progress here, and although I like all of them, I have to admit those artichokes are great!

Yes just routine Ann. Thanks for comments.
