Sep 25th — Lucy Bayes, Animal painting

Having recently returned to painting after a long career break, Lucy brings a fresh sense of discovery and energy to her work.?She enjoys blending the fluid spontaneity of watercolour with the fine detail achievable in acrylic, often working on unusual surfaces such as reclaimed slate roof tiles. This combination allows her to capture both the liveliness and personality of her animal subjects.?In this demonstration, Lucy will show how she builds form and texture through layering and contrast, discussing her approach to composition, surface preparation, and colour. Expect a session full of creativity and insight, perfect for animal and nature enthusiasts alike.
