Thank you to Ellie Green!
Ellie gave an instructive demo on the joys of oak gall inks: tannins extracted from oak galls which are abnormal growths caused by insects' larvae invading the tree pods. It is a wonderful ink with properties than no manmade watercolour can imitate. See Ellie's recipe for oak gall ink in the May newsletter in the link below.
Thank you to Clare Kent!
It was a brilliant workshop all about layering memories in a single painting. The quality of art that came out of this workshop was impressive! More in the newsletter (linked below).
THANK YOU!
