Everything about it is strange after using an Ipad.However I
am determined to become familiar with it which may take some
time I think.
I haven't posted in many months but I hope to start again soon
when I find out how to get access to my photos stored in my phone
and Ipad.I intend to get back into painting and sketching again after
a time of doing very little in that area.I recently went with a group of artists
to Mintaro,a beautiful little picturesque town in the Clare Valley of South
Australia.We travelled to this delightful place on a Friday where we met
up with the other artists at a dinner in the local Pub.
On the Saturday we met our tutor and set out for our first plein air experience,
It was so cold!As we watched a demonstration we shivered but were able to
take photos and do quick sketches which we made use of later in our paintings.
The landscape was so green but this was interspersed with various shades of yellow
from fields of vibrant yellow.The distant hills were shades of blues,really lovely.
Among the artists there were watercolourists and oil painters providing some
interesting and varied results.We were so lucky to be able to use the town hall to
paint in if we so desired,as many of us did.
It was a great weekend despite the intense cold.
