Back to Barbara's , get the kettle on !

Another productive morning with Barbara . We still had the blue Kettle from Julia's to use , such a gorgeous unmistakable shape , thought the big BLACK canvas was the one for the job !

Joel entranced by one of Barbara's amazing maps ...

Barbara talking us through some detail on the London Map she's working on

Setting up the kettle and massive black canvas

Just drawing random kettles until the space is filled

Taking a breather and on standing back from the drawing we decide to add some black paint

Using black paint in space around the kettles

Done !

Couldn't resist this  !

 After the wonderful Kettle I found a bottle on Barbara's kitchen window sill with a white stopper , they approved and chose grey pastels to draw it with and then white to do the stopper and reflections.

 Then decided to use grey in the space around the  bottles.

Really like them , they all look great together.

Another recycled canvas , white this time !

Preparing  old canvas , black over the blue

Canvas ready for next session

 Joel and I pop over to Julia's at 'Winter's Moon' warehouse to look at the space again where we'll be holding the Exhibition in May . Its FREEZING ! Poor Julia ! So just got a little bit of sorting out to do before the show ! Julia is doing  the invite and we've decided on the 2nd weekend in May , it'll be on along side the Open Studio's  which will be fun .

 Winter's Moon Warehouse /Show Room  .  Plenty of wall space for Joel & Barbara's pictures
