Stormy Poppies Workshop Aug 20th

Emma was painting for the very first time today--a few nerves to start with which is quite understandable--but soon settled down and we had lots of laughs and banter between all of them!

Ade was also a bit nervous....but he did a cracking picture and after tagging his pictures on facebook tonight asked what the family thought of his painting--he said they didn't believe he had painted it!

Sally has dabbled with acrylics and oils at home..but never painted like this before...she tended to fiddle a bit---when I turned my back...but she soon got the dark paint she added to the sky toned down again!

James came to me a couple of years ago and painted Emerald Woods along with his step dad.We met again at Tenbury Show recently and he booked on the spot for today's workshop. His nan and grandad were very impressed when they came to collect him--I think maybe we may have another new student or 2 in the future..

Ade, Emma, Sally and James with their finished paintings.....I have added them to Facebook as well--if you want to join me on face book just look up Painting My Way on there!

facebook

A lot of the students who have been to my workshops are on Facebook and have made friends with me and Bill...if you havent already made friends and you want to.. the quickest was is to type my facebook email address into FB and go from there!
Its a great way of getting your art out there and showing your friends and family just what you have been up to on Saturday!
All of the photos taken in class are on my facebook page for you to tag!

Lovely Time at Button Oak Art Club

We had a lovely time at Button Oak art club today--not the biggest we have ever been to but certainly one of the keenest!

They had some problems with the boiler after we arrived but to be honest it didn't effect me-as I was busy painting the 2 pictures!
 Lots of questions throughout the demo and most of the club want me to return and do a workshop at their village hall where we were today.
 So I have to have a look at my diary and see when we can come to an arrangement-am really looking forward to going back and meeting everyone again--Janice and Catherine won the paintings-- everyone seemed to be amazed at the Winter Wonderland one and how it came about using transparent paint on the black background!

Freecycle

We have had a bit of a blitz in the garage this week to make room for the ever increasing boxes of canvas we use in classes!
Today we got rid of 16 boxes of boot sale stuff to one chap.We used to do boots sales every week at one time, but since we stopped the boxes have just taken up loads of room in the garage.
So between Freecycle and Facebook it was emptied today!
2 new airbeds went to fellow facebook-ers and another big box of ribbon, lace and other oddments went to a freecycler who runs childrens craft groups.
Tomorrow the leather computer chair and a bedside cabinet will be going on there! What would we do without Freecycle?
