February 12th "Grasses"

Maysoon enjoyed working with acrylics again---she had wonderful results-her sky changed quite a lot during the 2nd coat of paint...she was brave and decided to add the tree to the final painting--and what a great tree it was as well--very strong and bold!
Celia was really enjoying herself-as you can see! Maybe it was the thought of receiving her artist brooch for attending 6 classes! To be fair we all have loads of laughs during the classes--that is what makes them so popular I think--
Nita was with us for the first time along with her hubby Richard...
Maureen is a very competent artist now--she was brave and added the tree to this painting----students had the choice of just the grasses or adding the tree if they felt brave!
Maureen  goes home and paints the subject matter again-in her own way--she brought along some lovely photos of previous paintings she has done when she has gone home--well done Maureen
Richard is used to painting in watercolour-so found the acrylic a bit different to use.Harder to blend and much stronger in strength of colour as well. His painting ended up quite strong and bold--but it worked very well--his grasses at the end balanced it up perfectly!
Susan received her artist brooch today as she had attended 6 workshops--she keeps bees and we had some interesting conversations about them during lunch--
Great results everyone-all very different--some tranquil, some bolder--but all very beautiful--well done ! Looking forward to seeing you all again!
