Art Connection - Tuesday 9th April 2024

Week 98 - Kelpies in Watercolour

 

Hello again

Glad to be back after having had to cancel last weeks group at short notice. Hope you will join me online this week for some art ?

We meet every Tuesday morning from 11am to 12.15/12.30pm to draw/paint together. No experience needed. Complete beginners are very welcome.

Job 39: 19-25

19 “Do you give the horse its strength or clothe its neck with a flowing mane?
20 Do you make it leap like a locust,striking terror with its proud snorting?
21 It paws fiercely, rejoicing in its strength, and charges into the fray.
22 It laughs at fear, afraid of nothing; it does not shy away from the sword.
23 The quiver rattles against its side, along with the flashing spear and lance.
24 In frenzied excitement it eats up the ground; it cannot stand still when the trumpet sounds.
25 At the blast of the trumpet it snorts, ‘Aha!’ It catches the scent of battle from afar, the shout of commanders and the battle cry.

This week we'll paint the Kelpies statues which are in Falkirk, Scotland using watercolour paints

If you are able to print out the image to have it beside you whilst drawing, hopefully you'll find this helpful on the day. Otherwise, you can perhaps view it on your phone as this will allow you to zoom in on the detail also ?
