| We
had people come from far and wide again last yesterday..out of 14
students 12 were first time artists..there were quite a few really bad
nerves and some who really thought they would 'fail' to produce a great
painting-but as usual they were all proved wrong! We had some wonderful
results from everyone- and everyone was amazed to watch how everyones
paintings all developed so differently at each stage... Above you can see Gillian..she came along with her friend Sally,,,they came by the market
today and both said they were really amazed at their results and will
be back to paint another picture! |

|
 |
| Sally made a beautiful job of her painting...lovely and subtle! |
 |
| Nicky has used watercolours before but this was a first for her-she found the oils much easier to use and the techniques I teach much looser than she was used to and she loved that! |
 |
| We met Andy at Kinver show last weekend, he came along with Tanya-- he used the paint quite boldly-and soon had a sky with lots going on in it..the water followed quickly too... |
 |
| Drew loved his day...and again was amazed with how quickly the painting grew... |
 |
| Jo has been quite a few times, and will be painting this one again as a Christmas pressie for a very lucky person! |
 |
| Tanya was at Kinver Fair last weekend...she was quite subtle with her use of paint...and didn't get fazed by any of the stages at all.. |
I think that Sharon was one of the most nervous students Ive ever had! I met her on the market last Wednesday and she said she had always wanted to paint but knew she wouldn't be able to do it...after a long conversation with her and her hubby she left a £10 deposit, saying "I'm so scared I wont be able to do it-but I may never have the chance again!" They were here on holiday for the week...Anyway-when she turned up on Saturday -her hubby said she hadn't slept all night and almost didn't turn up! However -she loved every minute and felt better that there were so many other first timers there too! She followed my instructions to the letter and soon the nerves disappeared...she kept saying she couldn't believe she was actually painting the picture! Its lovely to see nervous students getting more and more confident as the time goes on...and within no time at all they are making decisions about what goes where and how much paint they need etc.. Sharon came by the market this morning and she was still excited about her experience! She said she had to keep going and having a look to see if its as good as she thought it was and that it was real! I have a feeling we will be seeing Sharon again!
 |
| Julie was painting for the 3rd time...and loved applying the techniques she learnt in the Stormy Poppies workshop to this painting.... |
 |
| Ann used really big,bold strokes for her grasses and it worked so well..and when she added her poppies -it needed just a few to set it off beautifully--unfortunately I didn't get a photo of the finished painting as Ann doesn't like her photo taken and she stayed inside with Bill when I did the line-up! |
 |
| Helen's painting was very tranquil and subtle too... she loved her experience and said she will be back! |
 |
| Helen seemed to find it easy--and before she knew it-her painting was done...she couldn't believe how quickly it happened... |
 |
| Hazel loved every minute of the workshop...and says she will be back with granddaughter Chloe.... |
 |
| 12 year old Chloe came along with her Nan Hazel,,,she was so confident bless her--I think she was the least nervous of the 14 students! |
 |
| We had students sitting, standing and even kneeling at times during the workshop! |
 |
| It was blowing a gale outside when we had the photos done! Everyone had to hang on tight to the paintings! |
 |
| lovely results everyone... |
 |
| some very happy students! |
 |
| getting blown away! |
 |
| Brilliant results--well done everyone-- |
