Winters Walk Workshop Oct 5th

James's first time painting with me--he came along with his Mum Anne , who was doing her 6th painting and received her painting brooch I give all my students for achieving 6 works of art! He did very well and followed my instructions well.

Anne is very confident and has never really found any of the paintings hard to do..today was no exception and her snowy path soon happened!

Zaz came along with his Dad Richard and Nan  Peggy,,he really found his forte...he is brilliant at painting trees with loads of character!

Richard's use of colour was lovely and bold--it works really well--

We had some fun with Peggy--now and again we get a student who finds it hard to do certain brush strokes..and for Peggy it was doing the horizontal strokes for the snowy path...they kept creeping uphill--we could see why-she was following the direction of the path up round the bend all the time--we got there in the end--but we all had a chuckle with her-bless her! There are a few things we do in the workshops that can be a challenge to do--and a lot of people will really have to concentrate to get the brush going at the correct angle--but we always get there in the end!

Tracey had a gift voucher to use and came along with her friend Helen,

Lovely big bold trees---the knife was used afterwards to give the trees lots of texture..

This was Jacks 2nd painting--his first painting was shown to an artist friend of his who remarked "it looks like you have been painting for years" what a compliment! I wonder what he will think about this one!

The end results! Well Done !
