Speaker, Ann Freeman, demonstrated and explained the techniques of “Folk Art” which was fascinating to watch, which is mainly of various types of flowers. Two colours are loaded onto a straight edged brush, one on each side, which is then pressed onto the surface of the palette to work the paint up through the brush and then the stroke is applied to the painting surface in a calligraphy style action giving a thick and thin effect which at the same time blends the two colours giving light and shade all in one movement. Ann brought a wonderful display of craft ware which she had already completed. Margaret Williamson gave the vote of thanks. www.annescreations.co.uk
