"Yesterday" workshop

"Yesterday" is always one of the more challenging workshops-to start with its a huge 40in canvas which can take some covering, using acrylic paint ,which you have to keep working wet into wet in order to blend it..even so all of the students mastered it beautifully, we had 3 first timers and 4 doing their 2nd painting, Karen has lost count of how many , Anne was on her 7th and Julie her 4th.. Julie had already decided before she came that she wanted to do something a little different and wanted to leave out the horizon line--so her bright ,vibrant painting was just a beautiful sunset sky to start with no water...The most popular colour scheme was the browns,yellows and creams,with just a couple doing the reds/oranges..Karen chose the beautiful teal to match her spare room wallpaper that she bought along with her to match!

Jenny came along with Rosemary,both have never painted before--

we all loved the bright happy face that appeared in Jenny's painting..

A beautiful sky with lots of movement going on in Rosemary's sky..you would never believe they have never painted before..

Rachel came along with Pat for the 2nd time..Rachel's daughter is married to Pats grandson... they have both been and painted Poppy Field previous using oils so this was completely different for them both..as you can see they both did well with it..

Pat had a lovely sky with lots of movement happening..

I love the teal colour Karen used...

Hard to believe that Jackie has only painted once before--she was so chuffed with the end results..

Anne was painting for the 7th time--she had a lovely effect with the light on the water  on the horizon...

Tracey came with Pat and Rachel-she works with Pat..she has never painted before-but nobody would believe it! What a cracking job she made..


Hannah was with us last week to paint in oils--she mastered the acrylics just as easily--a beautiful vibrant sunset-well done.

Julie is adding her trees to her painting..she wasn't sure if she wanted 'naked' trees or some with foliage--I loved it without--

but have to say I loved it when she added some to the trees..

well done ladies

Lovely paintings !

Beautiful end results!
