Painting at Beamish Museum with the Monday Lanchester Art Group

    A 9.00 am start and after being kitted out at the costume department with the ladies in long skirts and shawls and the men in blue smock shirts and khaki coats  it was then off to the Band Hall in the mining village. All the group painted in the hall with Lee being provided as a period model.

    I opted to draw in the village on to a previously prepared collage made from brochures from the Durham Heritage Centre on the Palace Green using trains from Tanfield Railway and characters from Norman Cornish with some of the Beamish brochure. The subject I chose was the pit buildings and shaft headgear.

Group photo - I'm missing- off sketching

Morning drawing done resting the canvas board on the upright sleepers ( tar marks on the back for authenticity )
Had to leave for a doctors appointment so I completed the colour work in the afternoon on my return working in the Band Hall. 

Finished drawing on 20x16 inch canvas board.

 
       Spent some of the afternoon exploring the village for future subjects. 3.00 pm finish- it was getting dark- and back to hand in our uniforms at the Resource Centre. 

Cold day but everyone enjoyed the experience which we hope to repeat next year when its warmer.
