These are free, playful and fun art sessions. Each month I choose a theme or material I want to play around with and you can either join in, or go off-piste, and do your own thing. I might spend a session playing with wet textures, playing around with how things bleed, mix together, blend. Other times I might grab a handful of random materials and play around with those together. All previous Art Play Dates are available as replays, and each new session adds to the back catalogue to watch and play along with.
Hello!
I’m coming to you promptly with the replay from today’s BONUS Art Club because I’m off to London for a couple of days.
It was SO great to spend a bonus session making art and I am doubly avowed to make this fortnightly after today!
We painted my new ceramic figurine, and it turns out it was the perfect time to get it painted. I enjoyed the warm up so much, where I painted with a stick, using yellow, a reddish magenta and payne’s grey, that I decided to go with it as a palette for the main piece, which I punctuated with a pinch of blue.
I’ve started a dedicated Art Club Originals shop page, which I will add to each month. You can browse and purchase here. Let me know if you want to chat through before you buy. I’m selling them for ridiculously low prices - a great chance to grab a piece of original art at a low price!





So, without further ado, I will hand you over to the replay.
Until next week, which will be Picture Book Club - Tuesday 29th April at 8pm BST. Details here.
