Gill Fortesque

The weekly meeting of the art group on Wednesday, 31st May was a little different, the members engaged the services of Gill Fortesque, a lecturer at Newport college, to do a workshop, the subject 'Putting figures into landscapes'.

Art Group with Gill Fortesque

The concentration level was very high, pencils were frantically working, alongside rubbers, was the perspective right? had we got the scale correct?

It was a very interesting session and some very satisfactory work was produced with plenty for us to practise.
