Todays Class-Forest Pool



































From the left Dave (1st) Brian (3rd) Karen(1st) Sophie(1st) Sara(3rd) Hannah(1st) and Kim (1st)
We had 5 newbies in the class today-there were a lot of nerves before we started!
Brian came to me a couple of years ago and did 2 paintings,he bought along his daughter Karen and her daughter Sophie today-the second week running I have had 3 generations in class!
We also had 3 left handed students today as well! There is usually one but never had 3 in the same class before!
Forest Pool is a great painting to do first time-we learn to use a lot of different brushes,a wiping out tool and lots of different colours of paint!
It gives a big opportunity for students to express their own personality, which comes through in the finished painting.
10 year old Hannah added some little red toadstools to hers, which added to the mystical theme they all seemed to create today.
We had great fun as usual and everyone is coming back to paint again.
Sara is back next week to do the Birch Trees,and we are seeing Kim for the Summer Day in June, maybe before as she fancies doing the' poppy field' as well!
