Bluebell Watercolour Class




We had a very busy Bluebell class today, lots of mixing of blues, purples and greens. Four new artists, slightly nervous (!) with three of our regulars.

Claire had chosen a lovely woodland scene, with plenty of tonal values - lights and darks.

After pencilling in our trees, we used some masking fluid to fill in the trunks and protect where we wanted our light areas to be, and followed this up with a light wash.

The paintings were amazing when we had them mounted for our exhibition at the end, everyone had different coloured bluebells. The achievements were great today. It is amazing what beginners can do after a day with Claire at Treetops!
