Todays Class-Birch Trees
























We had a great class today as usual.
There were some hard choices to be made as there was a wide choice of canvas sizes to choose from.Carole had requested a large canvas, Bev had called by the market and seen me painting my latest Birch tree painting on the wide narrow canvas and wanted to do that one and there was also the standard 16in x 20in ones.
After they had to decided which size canvas to do it on it was then a matter of choosing which colours they wanted-monochrome or sepia!

We had a later than normal start due to a misunderstanding about one of the bookings, but once we started there was no looking back.
It was very quiet at times- Wayne was defiantly holding his breath longer than anyone else when doing the background trees!

Caroles canvas was almost as big as her and of course it took that bit longer for her to do things on it.She made a brilliant job of it and it will be hanging in her bedroom. Carole also received her special trophy for attending over 10 classes! It got left behind , as she had to rush off so we will be dropping it off for her at her home tomorrow when we go over to Leominster Boot sale.

Becky and Wayne wanted to do a diptych with their 2 paintings following on from each others so they could be hung side by side-it worked really well.

Sara's painting turned out really soft again like last week -almost out of focus- a beautiful effect.

Joyce had never painted before-she had bought her husband Gordon a gift voucher for Christmas, he came earlier in the year, she was so astonished at his results she wanted to try it herself. Brilliant results Joyce!

Jane also received her trophy for coming to 10 classes-- she made a lovely job of her monochrome painting.
All in all a great fun day!
