Other cultures plus our new project

After a two-week break we reviewed our "other cultures" project. The resulting paintings have been really helpful in terms of boosting our creativity and our use of colour. We also started our next three-week project "using textured grounds". You can see below black and white paintings which are painted with acrylic paint using a heavy impasto gel medium to thicken it. We will then paint on top of the textured acrylic ground with our soft pastels. Some great paintings already! We also said a big hearty "welcome back" to Bob who has returned to the group from hospital.
