Fruit for Thought

April 21st - Bronzed Fruit
9:45– 4:00
Smithy Moor Community Centre, Stocksbridge

Jackie Burgin has done such a lovely job painting the piece we were keen for her to teach it to us at the Monday Group. On April 21st, Jackie Burgin will be teaching us a design by Lynne Deptula. This lovely plate of multi fruit includes an apple, pear, plums, a variety of berries and foliage. £15 for the day includes surface. Bring a packed lunch.
"I really enjoyed painting the fruit plate, once I had basecoated the plate and placed on the pattern, I couldn't wait to get on with it.
So on go the leaves, room for artistic licence with these, I find I just always have to go my own way with leaves. then I basecoat the apple and the pear, build up the colour, shade and highlight. the plums are the same technique. Then on with the pink berries gooseberries and blue raspberries. when all fruits and leaves are on, we then bronze the fruit and the leaves and it just lifts it all.
The scrolling on the centre of the plate is a lovely finishing touch to the fruit plate.
look forward to painting it again with friends."
Best regards Jackie
