Poppy Field Workshop

Apologies to start---Ive got no idea on some of the names again--the Young At Art group from Kidderminster--the photos showing me the order you were in have not come out---so I'm sorry no names on the pics--but you know who you are LOL... We had a full class on Saturday with 15 students who came from far and wide..here we have 6 year old Beth who made a grand job of her picture..she came along with her nanny -Debbie and cousins (I think!) 11 year old Nathan and 11 year old Aleya

Aleya made a great job--lovely colours in the grasses..

Debbie adding the poppies-watched closely by Nathan!

Nathan used big bold strokes on his grasses which worked well!

Its quite a amazing just how different the paintings turn out-even when they all use the same colour palette

None of the ladies had tried oils before so it was quite an eye opener for them to see just how easy it was to use--and no mess or smell either...

Everyone was amazed at how easy the painting came along..

The ladies have booked me to go and do a demo for the rest of the Young At Art group they belong to.so we are looking forward to that very much in June..

adding more detail to the grasses before the barley gets painted in..

Lots of movement in the grasses here..

Holly came along with her grandad Brian and her brother Jack...she had not painted like this before..and really enjoyed it!

Brian has been once before to paint Summer Day...he usually uses watercolours..

Barbara was bought a gift voucher by her sister Veronica who also attended the workshop-- she absolutely loved it--

Veronica starting her barley grasses....Shame my camera is still playing up--loads of photos just gone into thin air again....saving up for a new one now!
