Class of March 13th "The Waterfall"

We had 5 in today to paint The Waterfall painting.

Bev has been quite a few times before, and her son Tim has been once before.
Tims fiance Catherine joined us this time as well.

Alison who joined us for the 3rd time has her birthday today and bought along some lovely cakes for us all to enjoy as a treat!

Little Katlin is just 7 years old and came last week for the first time.
Her mum bought her from Telford and stopped while the class went on.

Everyone was amazed by just how different the paintings were right from the word go!

Alison has only worked in acrylic in previous classes before so using the oils was quite different-she loved it!

Catherine was quite nervous, but soon settled down and got a lovely soft landscape going on.

Tim really seemed to find the oils easy and his background took shape very quickly. He was quite bold with his trees and it worked really well.

The paintings took shape quickly,the actual waterfalls posed no problems today--sometimes people can be quite nervous about painting those in!
We used the silicon wiping out tool to add waterlines and grasses.

The time flew by somehow today-we had lots of laughs and Alison acquired a new nick name!

Katlin is coming again next week,and Bev and Tim are coming on April 19th to do the wide "Yeserday" painting.

We have our two little granddaughters stopping the night -hence the late posting on here--Hollie has just dropped off to sleep bless her!
