July meeting report:

Today’s workshop by AJ Ludlow watercolour paints was great. We all experienced a new type of iridescent watercolour paint which gave our work unusual reflective qualities. Everyone enjoyed the process of building the woodland scene on a black background. The second piece, with Meiru as our tutor, was more traditional of crashing waves on rocks. We were instructed on both wet on wet and wet in dry techniques, which were new to many members. See the scrollable gallery below for photos!
