Birches Workshop-April 27th

It was lovely to see Jill again, she came last year and painted Reeds In The Breeze using oils-and she wanted to try acrylics as she has been bought some as a gift...she chose to do the big 40in x 12in canvas and the soft sage green and cream colours

We met Julie just last Wednesday when we were on the market....she had never painted before and was quite nervous that she wouldn't be able to do it! She chose the monochrome version but used silver paint for the foreground trees...

Ali joined us at the last minute....we did her 'Hen' party last week...and she has been wanting to paint the Birch trees for some time...

Tony has been painting for a while-and it did show! He chose the autumn colours for his painting--but they were much more subdued than my version...I thought it looked like twilight,,and the others agreed,,,,

Adding the detail to the trees,,

Ali's trees are coming on nicely here..

Jill was using 2 dryers to save time!

Tony's trees are looking great...

Gills painting had a lovely calm, tranquil feel to it..

Looking good....

What lovely results--and all so different..

While we were packing away, we noticed Barbara who runs  the rooms we use for classes--she was arranging some more flowers for the church.. isn't this just beautiful..made from leaves pinned together...just beautiful!
