Watercolour - Downton Abbey - Highclere

Beautiful Highclere Castle, set just 5 minutes from Treetops is a beautiful building, but oh boy is it hard to draw!

We spent the morning drawing our castle with pencils, rulers, vanishing points, angles, turrets, flagpoles.  You could feel the stress in the room.

But it was a new start to the year, and we had an experienced group that Claire wanted to stretch, and if you want to paint better, you need to start drawing better .... apparently!

Here is Claire's picture, with her first wash painted on. 

Adding the three greens that made up the large cedar trees.

And here are our finished works of art ..... some of us did think we would be here for dinner too, not just lunch!

It was a hard day, but really successful, everyone did really really well. 

A Busy Cupcake Day

We started our Saturday morning with a Stage 2 Cupcake Class

We spent more time on shaping our flowers with flower paste, making buttercream roses and shaping petals into larger roses.

In the afternoon we had a Stage 1 Cupcake Class, here are a selection of the photos, for more details and photographs please visit the Colourful Cupcakes blog:
