Shobdon WI Demo

We were at one of our favourite places last night-Shobdon- to do a demo for the local WI..The village hall is actually in the school and we found a nice corner to set up my stands with some of the paintings on..and my card stand as well.
Only one or two of the ladies had painted before and then in watercolour--so it was an eye opener for the ladies to see paintings being done so quickly in oils....
all watching intently!
you could hear a pin drop at times...
I painted Summer Day and The Waterfall as they show the technique at its best, with lots of different brushes being used for different effects...
Pam was the lucky winner of the raffle and she chose the Summer day painting---she was over the moon that she won and said she had just the place for the picture-on her stairs that had just been decorated with a poppy wallpaper! We will see some of the ladies again at Shobdon Food and Drink Festival in June....
