Oriental Dawn Workshop

We had a lot of laughs and fun last Saturday in the Oriental dawn class..John and Judith S were bought along for the first time by Judith M who had been once before...as they would be hanging their paintings in the same house they wanted to do something different-so it was decided they would do a diptych and the paintings would follow through the 2 canvas's..quite a feat for first timers--but it was lovely to watch the paintings develop and how well the pair of them worked together...

here is their painting about halfway through..

Tony did really well--he is waiting for an op on both knees bless him--and had a tens machine on for the workshop--that is dedication if ever I saw it!

Tracey and Maureen have been a few times before and I must check if they are due their artist brooches I give everyone who attends 6 workshops...here Tracey's painting is upside down as she is painting the reflections of the trees into the water-that seems to be the easiest way of getting them right!

Maureen is concentrating hard here--the fir trees are harder to do than they look and had everyone trying hard and holding their breath as they did them!

Judith M made a cracking job of picture--we had a bit of a problem with the canvas drying out a bit quick-a manufacturing fault as they have always been OK before--will be having a word with the suppliers about it..

Maureen tackling her reflections -again upside down is the easiest to do them!

Anne has got well and truely hooked at the painting game--and she showed me what she had been doing at home--very impressive--she always listens carefully to my instructions and follows them to the letter..she is booked up as far as next March-and hubby and son Luke are joining her for Lavender Lakes next week!

I met Jackie at Burwarton show in Aug when she bought a painting off me--she loved every minute of it and sent me a lovely email thanking me and wanting to come to the Yesterday workshop..her hubby wants to come along too-so we are sorting out which one to come together !

John adding his finishing touch to his canvas--what a great job they made between them...they managed to get the canvas's back to Bedford safe and sound too!

Tony with his finished painting--well done Tony and good luck for the op in Oct! x

well done everyone..

brilliant work ladies!

Lovely job everyone!
