| It was lovely to see Jane and hubby Pete back again--along with Pete's mum Dot-who was with with us for the first time--as a birthday present! |
 |
| Christina was surprised at how different the acrylic paint was to work with...compared to the oils--but once she got used to the feel of it she made a cracking job of it. Its to be a pressie for her daughter-so it will be off on the train with her down to Bristol shortly! |
 | |
| Aiden came up from Essex along with his mum Jan, dad Paul and sister Bethan-he wanted to get a dark , stormy finish-and he achieved that--a very dark, mysterious painting--once we got him to stop strangling the brush!Some people find it hard to hold the brush higher up--and I have found if you hold it too near the bristles it restricts you and its hard to make the paint flow. |
 |
| Dad -Paul got a great effect going on---lots of light in the centre- which worked well when he came to put in the moon---he was very brave and put in a large moon at the end--along with some lovely glittery waves and a buoy. |
 |
| Hattie came along for the first time with Pat who had been once before--she seemed to find it really easy and her painting was magical....she is a natural..... |
 |
| Pete getting down to it---he had lots of light in his sky--and it looked like the moon was behind the clouds at the end |
 |
| Jan found the first coat quite difficult to do-and she couldn't get the effect she wanted--but when we did the 2nd coat it all came together lovely.She got the hang of the brushes and the feel of how the paint moved around and in no time she had the most beautiful sunset sky and water going on. |
 |
| Final stages here--got to be careful not to do too much at this stage! |
|
| say one for me please Jan! |
 |
| Janes painting positively glowed--she had the colours blended beautifully--and she was very bold when it came to doing the grasses. |
 |
| all coming together nicely now--nerves have gone! |
 |
| Bethan got down to it on the floor--and made a lovely job of her painting! |
 |
| I loved the light Pat got in her painting-and she managed to get the reflections just right in her picture |
 |
| the photo doesn't do Marie's painting justice--she has made a great job of it-lots of detail in the sky and the gold glitter paint she used to add detail to the water worked really well--I had never used it for that before--just the moon and flowers--so I will be nicking that idea from her! |
 |
| Marlyn's painting had the wow factor---the water lapping up the beach wasn't completely intentional but it worked really well so she left it--she added the beautiful silver moon, partially hidden by the cloud-a stunning result--and only her 2nd painting too! |
 |
| Marie's finished painting...very atmospheric! |
 |
| Hard to believe that Paul had never painted before---we decided that it looked like a Norwegian Fjord ! |
 |
| Jane was very adventurous-and it worked a treat--love the grasses |
 |
| Pete's finished painting--lovely job! |
 |
| adding the finishing touches.. |
 |
| Christina made a great job of her painting--she found the acrylic a challenge but she got there in the end--everyone has gone away with some of the varnish needed to protect and bring out the colour...it can be applied 24 hours after the painting has dried-and they will all be amazed at the difference it makes to the end result--the colours will appear brighter and of course the painting will be protected as well. |
 |
| WOW! |
 |
| Lovely paintings! |
 |
| Everyone did great paintings today as usual--it was our last time in the Helena Lane room--we will be at St Peters Parish Hall, Henley Rd , Ludlow SY8 1QZ from now on--lovely big room, lots of parking and easy to find too. |
