Last night we were enthralled by the delightful Ann Benson, who came along to demonstrate how she works with pastels. In only a couple of hours (which included a short tea break), Ann had transformed a blank page into a beautiful snowy landscape. There was no sign of a photograph or image to copy. She seemed to work straight from her her imagination. Along the way, she talked us through how she works, how she selects colours and materials and like the rest of us, the gaffs which happen. All of us were in awe of the beautiful finished picture but Ann, the perfectionist that she is, felt it was merely something she'd throw away for being of inferior quality. Fear not Ann, most of us would give a right arm to achieve the beautiful landscape you produced last night. Thank you to everyone who turned up. We had a fantastic turnout of over forty people.
Okay for all you Mellor and Marple artists out there reading our blog, now's the time to practice leaving a comment because I've got a something special to post next week.
