Wednesday's sketch club's theme chosen by Anne Alderson was The Moulin Rouge which resulted in lots of vibrantly colourful images largely influenced by the artist most closely associated with the place- Toulouse Lautrec! His work has always inspired me and it seems to have inspired my fellow scribblers to great heights of colour and skill. Hope you like them! Ooh-la-laaaaaah! |
| Anne Alderson managed to produce three fabulous images based on some of Lautrec's studies of his friends. This was a great subject, Anne! |
 |
| Alan Bartlett made 4 images! although he admitted to starting an hour early. But when you're inspired you have to get on with it while the muse is on you! Sorry that I reduced the size of the middle two, Alan but your photographs were bit blurry. Alan's use of colour always amazes me and this lot are no exception. Tres bon! |
 |
| Anna Lindenberger over in Uzbekistan drew this fabulous trapeze girl! This reminds me of that great film "Wings of Desire". |
 |
| Meanwhile, in sunny Dorset Annalisa Renee painted tis lovely piece again based on one of Lautrec's paintings. The figures are great and I particularly like the sketched-in guy on the right. It really gives the group depth, dunnit! |
 |
| Jools Xandru seems to also have a wonderful way with colour. These two fairly ZING out! Stunning work! |
 |
| My niece Mimi Renee-Cemmick produced this gorgeous pencil drawing of the man himself before having to cut the hour short to take another Zoom call. Zoom is proving a blessing in these isolated situations, innit! |
 |
| And finally my own attempt at capturing Toulouse in action painting the Moulin Rouge's renowned Can-Can dancers but he seems to have got a little too close for comfort. And that's yer lot! Mon dieu! Ces artistes sont fabuleux! |
