We held our first class at our new venue today.We had some great classes at the old venue ,but it was a long way for Bill to carry the stuff needed for the class and also there is going to be some major building work going on there and the car park will not be able to be used.Many thanks to Julie for all her help while we were there.
The new venue- Guy Thornycroft is just up the road from us and just over the road from the new Travel Lodge, so it will be handy for anyone travelling a long way for the classes.
Due to late cancellations we only had Carole who has been once before and her daughter Hayley who had never painted before.
It was a painting that I had never tryed before in a class and they turned out lovely.
They both looked surprised when I explained that we use sponges to do the base coat. After the initial nerves of being faced with a clean white canvas both of them settled down to painting away with the sponges and the black acrylic paint, very soon they had the base for their paintings done.
Then with some blue , black and white oil paint they soon had the winter scene complete.
The trees finished off the painting lovely, and they were really happy with what they achieved .
