Watercolour Demo


We had the delight of being given a demo on watercolours by a lovely local (ish) artist, Judy Bell. Over thirty of us turned out to watch in hushed silence as Judy went from a blank page to finished watercolour in less than two hours. Absolutely fascinating to see what looked like a bland scrappy wash of colour being transformed layer by layer into a wonderful three dimensional textural landscape. Judy hopped from foot to foot, left to right to ensure her whole audience could see her paint and with a sense of humour she answered all our questions. I'm sure everyone will agree that it was another fantastic evening and extremely nice relaxing way to spend a Wednesday evening.
