Birch Tree Workshop Mon 25th June

We had a workshop yesterday Mon June 25th especially for a group from  the Birmingham New Testament Church of God..as they were coming in a minibus we had decided that an oil painting would be out of the question as they wouldn't get them home without getting paint everywhere! So they had a vote on which painting to do when they arrived at our venue!    Mavis --above soon got in the swing of things..
Stevon organised the trip over to paint with me after we met last year on Ludlow  market...none of the 12 had ever painted before and had no real idea of what they would be doing..one or two thought they would have a still life bowl of fruit to paint from what they said!
Rev Rhonda making a start on her small background trees...everyone was surprised at how different the paintings turned out right from the start....
Dulcia was quite a dab hand at doing the small trees..
Richard proved to be quite a natural..
having great fun here...
l
everyone watching carefully at what to do next...
careful not to get freckles Stevon!!!!
the ladies soon got the hang of it...
Maureens painting turned out quite subtle...
Francella was very brave and ended up putting quite a big tree in her foreground...she made a lovely job..
Lorretta seemed to find the painting quite easy...
Rossetta , lovely trees..
Russell was quite bold with her paint...
Bernice whispered to me that she was 83 years old bless her--what a good sport she was--mind you they all were!
May did very well....she thickened up her dark tree after and it had real character!
the ladies -hard at work--completely engrossed in what they were doing!
Brilliant results--you wouldn't think they were all first timers!
Fantastic results...
Didn't they do well? Well done everyone--we will look forward to seeing you all again!
