Tropical Sunset Class Aug 30th











We had a lovely class today, 4 students-- Oliver, Jack , Pauline and Chris had been to me before but Beverly and Doreen were first timers.
Doreen and Beverly had been going to watercolour classes and fancied a change of medium!
The class went very well with some really vibrant skies emerging from the brushes.
Olivers in particular was very bright to start with, but after some careful tickling with the tickling brush it mellowed down nicely.
The palm trees caused a few laugh among us all--we had all sorts-helicopter rotors and wind turbines to name a few, but as I told the students , real palm trees do come in all sorts of shapes and sizes.
I must cut out some pictures of some to take to class to show them!
Everyone was really happy with the end results--Beverly and Doreen have booked for another 2 classes -The Birch Trees and the Poppy Fields and Pauline and Chris have booked for the Poppy Fields so they will be meeting up again soon.
Thats what I love about the classes, everyone makes firm friendships with the other students and its a social event as much as a painting class.
For once we finished early in class and its lovely to relax with a glass of Tia Maria and Baily's on ice while doing some updating!
Back to the grindstone tomorrow -after the bootsale.
It will be my first Sunday off for what seems like ages-but have got to get cracking on the commissions in the afternoon!
