Saturdays Class







We had a fantastic time in last Saturdays class.
Carol, Hayley, Jan and Mandy were as keen as can be to get cracking on ''the birch tree's'''

Jan was 1 st time artist who was a little nervous to begin with but she soon settled down and within minutes was saying what fun it was.

Carol and Hayley are now old hands at this painting lark--this was Carol's 9th picture and Hayleys 6th.

Mandy has been to me once before, but has done a couple of brilliant pictures at home which she showed us photos of.it was a beautiful sunny day and we went outside to flick the paint at the paintings to do the bark on the trees.Everyone managed to get freckles at this stage!
We used the encaustic pen to add detail of pink melted wax afterwards.
Everyone is bringing their paintings back for this Saturdays class for Bill to varnish them.
Jan is also having hers framed into one of our contemporary black frames for her daughters birthday. What a lovely surprise she is going to get when she opens her present!!
Jan and Carol are coming back this Saturday to paint Stormy Skies.
