Jane and her daughter Heather came for a class today.Heather had taken a look at www.dianetheartist.com where I have 200 paintings on show and chosen this one to do.
We had great fun, Jane has been to lots of classes before and has had her advanced student brooch, Heather had not painted before.
They were both cracked up at Jake who didnt stop talking all day.Last time Jane was here he copied her laugh, which cracked us all up!
Jane found the acrylic paint quite different to work with compared to the oils she has been used to in previous classes.
When we started on the second coat and it was easier to blend it all started to feel right again.
Both me and Jane decided that we liked our paintings better upside down-when we turned them to paint the bottoms!
So Bill did some re-stringing when we had finished as the canvas were strung the wrong way up!
They were both very nervous when it came to painting the tree.
They both really liked their sunset skies and were scared they would spoil it.
After watching me do my tree they plucked up courage and did the most beautiful trees each.
Jane added some little birds in the sky and Heather painted a little cat sitting on one of her branches of her tree.
They were both delighted with the finished pictures-I sent them away with enough varnish to give them a coat tomorrow--this will bring out the colour even more on their finished pictures.
