A fun day was had by all with Sheila, playing with paints and mediums. Everyone had brought references from their favourite walks, and interpreted these onto paper. Each was given an A3 sheet of paper which they cut lengthways into three and taped together to make a long strip. It was dabbed with gesso, and things pressed into it to make textures, such as bubble wrap, sponges etc. Then white acrylic paint was added, and the process repeated. Then PVA glue was added and they glued on bits of scrim, tissue paper, paper, and things to raise the surface. When dry, paints were added in colours to suit the references.
Then came the fun bit, with marks being made with paints, twigs, brushes, crayons, pastels and inks, and imagination! Once dry, the paper was folded into a concertina book to take the memories home.
