A Glorious Obsession A Glorious Obsession with Helen Allen
The Medlar, Mespilus germanica, has become more popular over the past decade as a garden/orchard tree and for its exotic fruits that are mentioned in Shakespeare’s plays and eaten in Tudor times in the court of Henry VIII. Fall Medlars have wonderful coloring, texture and detail and are rather different from other pomes. We will make observational drawings and color notes which may be finished in graphite or watercolor. A good and accurate drawing will be ready for you to take away, and with your color notes and other aids, material to complete a small but lively painting.
Supply list:
- Paints: Please bring your usual paints, materials, and equipment.
- Brushes: Miniature brushes in sizes, 2 and 5, small sizes, 1, 0, 00, 000 – Rosemary brushes are excellent as are Winsor & Newton and da Vinci miniature brushes. Most brushes will be useful as long as they have a good point, please do not buy especially for this class.
- Hot press watercolor paper, 9” x 12” or 8” square, tracing paper and layout/sketching paper. (these sizes are just a guide)
- You may like to create a sketch book page or a concertina book with hot pressed watercolor paper.
- Lighting: It is always useful to bring a portable battery-operated light such as an Ott Lite
