Women’s Club – Watercolour Painting

20th June 2001 – At our June Meeting one of our members, Linda Aird, who is an art teacher at Roade School, showed us how to paint flowers in watercolour. She brought along several different sorts of flowers, including irises and sunflowers and demonstrated how to paint with a very wet brush so that the colours ran together somewhat and were translucent. Then members tried their hands at painting an individual flower and were agreeably surprised at the results. Some were so pleased with their suddenly discovered talent that they planned to buy their own equipment and try painting at home.
At the end of the evening Linda was presented with an hydrangea to thank her for giving us such an enjoyable evening.
