Reeds In The Breeze Sat 14th June

We have had a very busy weekend--a class of 10 ladies on Saturday, Kinver Show on Sunday and another workshop on Monday...so catching up with the blog at last!

Gill (left)  is from Bournmouth-but was staying with Jane in Shrewsbury..Jane has been once before to paint The Birches,,,, Gil chose to do the moody grey version...and what a brilliant job she made of it too...

Sam and Dawn loved it-they couldn't believe how easy it was..

Laura (left) came down from the Wirral with her friends Ruth,Sue and Angi---and Ruth (middle) came along with her mum Bev..

Jane mixing her paint ready to do the poppies...

It was such a beautiful day everyone went outside at lunchtime to enjoy their lunch in the sun!

Gill made a great job of her painting--first time for her but she wants to come again!

Dawn loved every minute! Nobody can believe they are able of producing such good paintings first time--and I love watching them grow in confidence as the class goes on..

I love the colours used by Sam..another first timer..

Bev has painted before but never using my techniques..

Ruth made a cracking job of her painting...

First time for Laura--she came down from Liverpool with her friends---all of whom were convinced they wouldn't be able to paint anything worth hanging on the wall--how wrong were they then?

Everyone soon gets their own style and way of doing things-they make decisions very quickly too about where to put things and how much...Laura is adding just a few poppies here...

Sue was brave and added some long grasses they went above the horizon line--lovely--they add a lot of distance to the painting but it can be quite scary to do!

Ruth adding the final touches to her masterpiece..

The finished results---and I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again...The girls from Liverpool have asked I we can go up there to do  a workshop--of course we will-if they can get a min of  12 people and a room...But I have only 3 dates left this year when I can go--all the other workshops already have bookings in!

Lovely results from the Liverpool  4 lol..

Jane and Gill..well done!

Bev and Ruth--lovely paintings!

Sam and Dawn --lovely work!
