Peak-season weeks in August aren’t the easiest times to find suitable ‘on location’ venues…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The coast is crowded with holiday-makers and the villages are full of summer-home visitors from the cities and abroad…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So I was more than happy to have a suggestion for this week’s meet-up….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The ‘Sunset’ cafe-taverna on the cliffs behind Methoni turned out to be a spacious, breezy and very accommodating venue for the group…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The sea-views as you can see were superb….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

there was plenty of working space….and we spread out all over the place!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There was plenty of shade, and a good selection of quirky things to draw…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

including some prickly cactus; a couple of beautifully fading old barrels; rusty posts and lots of pottery….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As usual, people worked at their own pace, choosing their own subjects and materials….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Most of the group spent the whole morning in the taverna grounds….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

focusing in on detail….or drawing & painting the views….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Some ventured a little further afield….and drew the castle walls, just down the road….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

or nearby houses…..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There was a good breeze up on the hill…..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

and the morning flew by, even though we had started earlier this week….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We had some new group members today….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

including some summer visitors, as well as returning residents….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It was great to see some new artwork and different approaches….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Everyone was pretty prolific, despite the heat of the day…..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

as you can see from this FABULOUS collection of work….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Following a review of the work at the end of the morning, several of us lingered over a very delicious lunch, before heading for the sea!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Brilliant work everyone – well done indeed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
