We had an interesting time today in the advanced class.
A real mix of subject paintings.
Carole had a friends photo taken when abroad to work from -the palm trees were in silhouette in the evening,It was a real treat to watch Carole in action-she needed very little help, once it was decided she needed a black acrylic base, Carole just got on with it. Carole had bought her own canvas as she prefers to work smaller than out usual size.She also bought with her some beautiful paintings that she had done at home, which I didn't get chance to get pis of.We will call on her next time we are in Leominster and get some photos-they are really beautiful.
Hayley -Caroles daughter hadn't painted for over 6 months and was unsure what to paint, but after a look through the photos I take for inspiration and the book of copy rite free images, she decided on a beautiful bright sunset.After getting over her initial fear of the colour and the big white canvas(which was completely understandable after 6 months not painting!) Hayley did the most dramatic sunset painting.
Jan had a lovely photo of a Japanese Maple tree that is being used on her posters for her Reiki Healing sessions--it was quite a challenge for her , as we had never covered a subject quite like it before in class,but the finished painting looked really great.Jan has also gone away with some ideas for a painting for her daughter!
The final member of the class was Joyce who has never attended any of my classes, but had been to classes elsewhere so has some experience of painting wet on wet. She is having a one to one tomorrow and Monday.
I am also on the craft market tomorrow, so we will have a busy day- I will go and set up with Bill on the market, then pick up Joyce from hotel, back home to paint "Summer Day" and then after dropping Joyce back at her hotel I will join Bill on the craft Market.
It is usually quieter during the morning, so Bill should be ok on his own!
