We had an interesting class yesterday.The subject was quite a simple painting, of frosty trees reflected into the water. I gave the students a choice of 2 colour ways to do this painting.
Shades of orange, yellow's and reds or shades of purple.
Bill and Dennis both chose to do the orange version and Brian, Mandy, Sheila and Jan all chose the purple version.
When it came to do the shimmering water at the end I had a wide variety of special acrylic colours that adds that special effect. I showed everyone how each of them looked on my own painting. The gold shimmering paint looked great on the orange version.Jan and Mandy both used the violet shimmer and Sheila used the opalescence one.
The results were great and everyone enjoyed themselves.
The new students all agreed that it was far more laid back in the classes than expected, and everyone felt at ease very quickly!
Bill bought along his mother in law Sheila who knew nothing about coming until late the night before, so she had a great surprise. Dennis and Brian had travelled from Stoke On Trent, their wives went off into Ludlow shopping whie the guys painted.
Dennis's wife was enquiring about childrens classes for their little 5 year old grandaughter. I will be setting some dates for july again for childrens classes.
