Tate Britain has plenty of sculptural objects, and of course paintings. Drawing from paintings offers different sorts of opportunities, as mags had discovered in a painting course she took recently. She sent along the exercise, should we wish to repeat it.
I tried - but made only a few notes... The painting is by
Ivon Hitchens -
 |
| Autumn Composition: Flowers on a Table, 1932 |
Moving on to a
William Scott, I got caught up in blending the colours with the few chunky stabilo crayons that happened to be in my bag -
 |
| Orange, Black and White Composition, 1953 |
 |
| Mags used the exercise to really look at some paintings |
 |
| Judith made several renditions of the same subject |
Tool of the week - Rembrandt Sanguine oil, by Lyra
 |
| Cows in Turner's landscapes, by Jo |
And some techniques -
 |
Collage by Najlaa, with demonstration of how to find "interesting areas"
for later development
|
 |
Jo's foray into monoprinting - what a wonderful range of results
|
 |
Mags brought along her "train stitching", adding indigo fabric to an indigo base

What an interesting exercise this is! And thank you to Mags for sharing her 'train stitching'. I usually have 'television stitching' of a similar ilk that I sit down to in the evening when we are home and my husband wants to watch television. I miss it when I don't have it ... which reminds me, I need to devise another now.
