I had 9 students in for today's class. A mix of first timers--Paul and David through to Sara who achieved her artist brooch for attending 6 classes-and everything in between!The subject Mellow Moods is a mix of acrylic under- painting and a oil wash along with some thicker oil paint in places.
The students learned to use a wide variety of brushes and tools, including a silicon wiping out tool and a knife.
It was really interesting to see how everyone tackled the first stage of acrylic--the trees soon took shape!
Before long the waterfall had gone in-along with splashes and and reflections.
The time seemed to fly by so quickly--there was just chance to have a look at which paintings are coming up and get booked in--Birches on May 15th is now full.
I am going to update the next lot of classes this week--all being well!
The new venue has a cafe which is open til 12.30pm so its handy for the students to get a coffee and sandwich.
There is also a lovely patio area to sit and eat and drink when we have a break-which Gary and Elaine enjoyed!
We are on the Craft market tomorrow--so hope the weather will be kinder to us than is forecast--
