May 14th to May 15th - Wildlife in Pastel PencilAs an artist Jenny Hill is inspired by what she sees. Since leaving the academic world of art and design history, she has exhibited at various venues including Marwell Zoo (with Marwell International Wildlife Art Society), the Red House Museum in Christchurch and in Lyndhurst with the New Forest Art Society. She also demonstrates at Lee Gallery for Romsey Art Group and at Romsey Show and particularly enjoys inspiring confidence in beginners and returning artists to pick up a pastel or pencil and produce something worthwhile.
Jenny’s favourite subjects are flowers, animals and British birds. She enjoys capturing the brilliance of flowers and the individuality of animals’ expressions ranging from soulful to alert, playful to menacing.
Kingfishers are often seen along the stream near the Pencil Museum. Join in or simply watch as Jenny creates a kingfisher and vibrant floral subjects using pastel pencils. Jenny will explain layering, blending and other pastel techniques, helping you produce your own pastel work to take away. She will bring other examples of her own art, including greetings cards
