Grasses Workshop Oct 29th

Everyone gathers around to watch each step...we are working in acrylic today so we have to work fairly quickly...the paint dries very quickly and to get it to blend easily you have to work wet into wet.

everyone is hard at it--its always amazing to see just how different everyone tackles the subject at each stage..

Karen has been just once before,,,and travels all the  way from Mansfield..today she bought along her mum as well..

Irene travels a fair way too..from Stoke On Trent but comes on the day before and stays overnight ...she made a lovely job of her picture...

Ron was painting for the 3rd time with me...

Sandra was a bit nervous--understandably so as it was her first time painting....but she soon realised there was no need to worry..she blended well in her sky and sea...

I loved Karen's dramatic sky...and he tree suited the painting well--it looked like it had been stood there in the wind for years--

Lyndsey received her artist brooch today for attending 6 workshops...

you would never believe that this was Jenny's first painting! We met on Wednesday at the market when Jenny said she had found my website but she was a bit scared to book up--after we had a chat she booked up for today's workshop and she really enjoyed herself..we will see her again soon...

We had some lovely results today--I showed the students a lot of variations that they could use in their paintings..from trees to poppies and daisies -we covered everything...we had lots of laughs-- and several sessions of everyone holding their breath when doing the trees ! All in  all a great days painting...
