Mellow Moods workshop July 16th

Jan (left) and  Hannah (middle) came along with Julie....they were so impressed with Julie's first ever painting they wanted to have a go as well. We used black acrylic paint to under paint before using oils to add colour..great fun to do...
everyone busy painting their acrylic stage
Jenny made a beautiful job of her painting..
Christine was painting for the first time.. her trees were lovely and graceful
today's workshop was the last for Maysoon who is going back to Scotland to work-she bought us some lovely luxury fudge as a thank-you --we will miss her :-(( .  She will be getting in touch with my friend and fellow artist/ teacher Ros Calander from www.ipaintedthat.co.uk  when she gets settled up there!
Hannahs painting took on a lovely mystical feel--she was meticulous in her work...
we had a laugh with Jan who was with us for the 2nd time...she didnt want to do a waterfall but a stream instead!
Stuart was another first timer..he loved it--and was very confident with his brushes..
Julie was another confident painter--beautiful painting!
Cliff's first time with me--although he has had a go at home with acrylics.
you would never believe that Jan had never painted before-she seemed confident-though she did admit to holding her breath every time she had to paint a tree in-- but that is something that happens a lot in class--and sometimes its so quiet when the students are concentrating you can hear a pin drop!
looking lovely now the colour wash is going on...
Looking lovely Hannah!!!
WOW!!!
Lovely results from everyone..well done!
