yesterday Private Class

Suzanne had this private class arranged ages ago as a surprise fro her daughter Stephanie's 30th birthday..I went to Suzanne's home on Monday morning to do the workshop, Stephanie's cousin Abby was also going to have a go....
they all decided to use the purples,yellows and pinks as their colours.... 12 year old Abby is making a start on her sky here
I think it was the smallest space Ive ever done a workshop, but it was great fun, and it shows you don't need a huge room to be able to do it either! Stephanie made a beautiful job of her painting and had a magical scene quite quickly...
Suzanne was very nervous and didn't think she would be able to make anything of it....but she surprised herself , her sky was very dramatic...and as soon as the horizon line went in she could see it was working well...
Stephanie got right down to it when it came to doing the rabbits.....literally..on her knees...
Abby's painting was lovely....and the rabbits added a finishing touch...they all found them easier than expected to do...the final touch was to use some of the special metallic paint to add some flowers to the grasses--it will catch the light when they are hung on the wall. I left them some gloss varnish and instructions on how to use it--the colours will come out much brighter and the paintings will be protected against the heat , damp and steam in the home...
Suzanne adding the final tree to her painting..
last little bunny rabbit being added for Stephanie..
well Stephanie will always have something to remind her of turning 30.....I hope she has a lovely time at her party on Friday x
well done girls!
I was given these beautiful flowers as a thank-you from the girls---they are stunning...thank you very much x
