A Very Surprised Hen!!

Emma hadn't a clue what was going to happen on her 'hen day' I met her and her friends in the room today and informed her that she was going to spend the afternoon ironing and polishing!!!!

When she realised that I meant doing the encaustic art-ironing on the wax and polishing it after she breathed a sigh of relief! She thought she was going to do a housekeeping course!!!

I had another surprise up my sleeve for her though! She was going to paint a 5 minute oil painting too!!!! ''Have you got a photo copier'' she asked when I showed her the picture like the one she would produce in that time!!!

Nobody belived it was possible to do.

I set up my canvas next to hers on the easel and we went though it step by step and she produced a painting in around 5 mins! She was chuffed to bits with it !!

Hen Party Fun!

Here are some of the results of todays hen party ! We had some really beautiful results,Emma' the hen 'soon got the hang of the special tool and produced the lovely flowers picture.

We had all sorts of weird and wonderful things appear in the wax!

It was hard to get everyone away from the table to have some of the nibbles I had supplied!!! They were really engrossed in doing the encaustic art!

Hen Party

We had such a laugh today at the hen party, you wouldnt belive some of the conversations we had aroung the table! Make your hair curl!

As with the best hen parties we had to have a real giggle and this took the form of a wax willie painting competition!!!!

I showed the girls the best 'tool' to do this and there was no stopping them! We had willies coming in all shapes , colours and sizes!

We decided to let Bill judge the contest when he re-appeared to help clear up after all the fun!

Hen Party Competition Results

As you can see Bill had a very difficult choice to make to decide the winner of the competition, in the end he chose Tina! I think the fact that she made a comic face out of it swung it for her!

CONGRATULATIONS CAT GIBSON!!!!!!

A big big congratulations to my dear friend Cat who has become the first certified Alexander Art Tutor in the country!
You can check out her website http://www.gibson-art.co.uk/

Cat and her husband John started painting not that long ago and progressed very quickly---now they teach a wet on wet method similar to the one that I teach.

I was more than happy to help Cat in every way to start her own website, after she found my site and we started chatting.
Cat has turned out to be a genuine friend, and I am not worried about competition from her and her husband---there is room for everybody in this game, so I wish them all the luck in the world!!!!

Cat

I mentioned here while we were away on the painting holiday that I had bought a limited edition crazy cat from the boot sale at Blue Anchor, I just had to share this with you!

You can see who it reminded me of!!

I knew Sparky was model material!!

Hen Party

I will be having a group of girls at our usual venue on the 13th Oct to do an ''encaustic'' hen party.
The 'hen' is a Ludlow girl, and Paula the organiser of the hen party was looking for something different for them to do in the afternoon.

We ruled out the oil painting because with the drink that will flowing it might get a little messy!
Also with the encaustic, their paintings will be dry for them to drop off at home before they go back out in the evening!
I am sure the day will be great fun for everyone concerned!!!
It will make a change to have something other than tea or coffee while doing a class!
