Wendy Jelbert’s update

Wendy Jelbert’s quarterly update

Wendy kindly sends us a few samples from her classes to include in the newsletter, if you would like further details, please contact her directly. Hello everyone, since my previous article, the 'Artistic World’ of classes, exhibitions and Workshops, seems to have woken up our local artists a little, and we have had many re-opening of art groups ready to take on the public gaze again, hanging their newly crafted works in many exciting guises. Our Age Concern art group is from 1.00-3.00 each Monday at the Headquarters in Linden Road at the back of Waitrose. Our students have really been so adventurous as with this first sample of work called 'St Ives Harbour' in Mixed Media and Collage. Please notice the roof tops for example…these were cut from the outer protective covering of Cafe coffee cups making an ideal image of tiled roof tops! Paul and I also run Workshops at Hilliers Garden Centre locally, and these are advertised in their current and new Brochures through each year (phone 01794 368787) I am holding two BEGINNERS COURSES IN WATERCOLOURS AND ANOTHER IN ACRYLICS next year, which will be advertised and will be on my website art@wendyjelbert.co.uk Here is an example of my Hilliers Class just last week…painting a step-by- step Watercolour 'Sunlit Wave ‘ Painting….it was a delight! Lastly, here is the example of a wall painting of mine in Acrylics, completed within 3 days, when I last visited my eldest daughter Rebecca Jelbert, visiting them after lockdown. I was asked to paint a full sized apple tree in my daughter's bedroom, at the bottom of her bed, so she could wake up and be warmed by a memory of the gorgeous rich colours and smells of summertime. They suggested that this could be a start of a new career for me!!…..
