Lewis MacKenzie - Portrait Painting in Oils (lewismackenzie.co.uk)
Using a portrait by John Singer Sargent of Joseph Marie Carries on an ipad, Lewis demonstrated his considerable portraiture skills to our members. Starting with a dark background made from a Zorn palette of colours, Lewis rubbed out the lighter parts of the face before gradually building up the portrait bit by bit.
Tuesday 28thMay - Sheena Philips 'Big Skies'
Sheena gave members another inspiring watercolour demonstration, working from a photograph to produce a brilliant landscape painting in a very short period of time! She used a limited palette and many watercolour techniques in the process. We were all enthused by the lovely watercolour that Sheena painted in such a short time. Many thanks to Sheena.
Update from Sheena
Sheena has now finished the painting she started at the meeting and has shared it with us below.
Sheena is donating the painting to a charity art sale in North Berwick to raise money for Brain Tumour Research through the Brain Power fund set up by the BBC presenter Glenn Campbell who is himself being treated. The exhibition is on 16/17th August at St Andrew Blackadder Church,
North Berwick where he lives.
Finished painting
