Todays Class

At last Ive got round to updating the latest news!

As you can see, we had some beautiful results in todays "Tropical Summer Day" Class.

I had 3 new students today-Pauline and her hubby Chris who I met what seems ages ago-and Oliver aged 11 who I had met even longer before that!

Jan who is now an old hand at the game also joined us!

Sue and her son Andrew had to cancel at the last minute.We will see them at some future classes.

Pauline and Chris were both nervous about coming today-they both admitted that they thought they would stand out like sore thumbs because they wouldn't be able to 'do it'

however they both settled down quickly when they realised that it really was as easy as I had told them.Neither of them had ever painted before, and they were delighted with their paintings at the end of the class!!

Oliver had no such nerves--children often don't-they don't have the same fear that adults get, if I say we will bash the canvas with this brush they just do that-the same with the tickling brush!!!

He wasn't scared of using the colour either-his painting was bold and bright-he even added some coconuts to his tree's at the end!! He wants to come again to do another painting, and we will be seeing him when he has his encaustic birthday party in February.

Jan was being very subtle today, her painting was very gentle and quiet.

Everyone was able to have a practise run doing the palm tree's on the canvas paper before commiting themselves to their own canvas-it was interesting to see how they all did their trees!!

Pauline and Chris have booked to do the Birch Tree Walk on the 29th March.So we will see them then!
