Abstract Still Life

Good Morning,

It's the first Monday of the month so the Art blog today is practical. It takes you one step at a time from drawing a simple still life into a beautiful abstract piece using marker pens or felt tips.

Both felt tips and marker pens are understated. They can be so effective and layered to create stunning artworks.

A.S.K News:-

Louie the Shih Tzu... The dog sitting is going well and it's great to have a dog in the studio again. However, he snores so has kept us awake numerous times!!

He is very cute and loves a cuddle and fuss.

Workshops:

The workshops are filling up, this week's Trees and Flowers in pen & ink washes is full which is fantastic, I'm really looking forward to it.

There is still room for the Valentine's Prosecco, Chocolate & Paint on Saturday 12th February. This is from 1-4 pm, and for anyone & everyone. You don't have to be attached to enjoy the workshop. Paint, drink Prosecco, eat chocolate and listen to anti-romantic music...a lovely Saturday afternoon.

Please call or email to book a space/s.

Enjoy the practical and please let me know how you get on.
