Big Poppy Workshop



Well what a day we had on Saturday...I was expecting 11 and 16 turned up...must sack the secretary!!! Any way we always have extra brushes ,canvas etc on the van so it was OK! This workshop always takes a bit longer than the usual 4 hours mainly because of the drying times of the mediums and the paint..its amazing just how the paintings change through the workshop,,

as you can see we had a wide variety of colours...its one of those paintings that seems to work in whatever colour people choose..

love the purple and turquoise shades that Fregia did...

Subodh chose some beautiful yellow and oranges for his painting....it was really bright and vibrant

Sri chose the more tradition red and black






Carol had a bigger ,chunkier canvas to use...


starting to add the melted wax here...

its a good job we have a big room to use!

adding texture with the wax and irons..

I loved Subodh's finished painting...none of the photographs do these paintings justice,,the texture and variations in colour just do not show up..

Sybils's painting really came to life when she added the silver wax middle..

you can a bit more of the detail in Carol's picture here..
