Class of Oct 4th -Poppy Fields


























We had a lovely class today-right from the word go-we were having a laugh!

Pauline and Chris have been lots of times before and Doreen and Bev were here for the 2nd time.

As you can see from the photos all of the paintings turn out different right from the start-it never fails to amaze me or the students just how different they can be,the skies all have lots of different things going on in them although we all used the same colours and same brushes to do them with!

This is a very 'easy on 'painting to do-it encourages students to be free with their brush strokes.

Doreen and Bev found it easier to get on their knees to do the little daisies at the end of the class!!!

Everyone enjoyed creating the lovely poppies using very thick paint--for once Im not telling students to ''watch they have no blobs on their brushes!'' The blobbier the better for this one!

After the class while we clearing up I spotted Chris's palette-what a work of art in itself--we were all having fun spotting what had appeared in it-we could all see sky, trees, and water-Im not sure what he was most proud of-his painting or his palette-which he took home!

As you can see the paintings were all beautiful and they are all coming to classes again.
