Our second community workshop at the West Sedgemoor RSPB Reserve provided participants with an exciting opportunity to not only see the cranes feeding, but also flying, quite a sight! After a morning session out on the reserve the afternoon was spent creating crane-inspired artwork under the guidance artist Kitty Hillier.
Kitty gave instructions about mixing paint colours and creating a variety of tones. No black paint was provided so dark colours had to be mixed using available colours. This created some beautiful effects and it was amazing to see the colours of the landscape and 'mood' of the open moor and expanses of sky reflected in the art work.

Look out for an exciting installation of the life-size painted crane cut-outs in Somerset Art Weeks Autumn 2011.
