Watercolour Bluebells


We had Claire with us yesterday for another Watercolour Class
 - Bluebells -


The paintings were all lovely, full of light, dappled shade, meandering pathways and pretty bluebells.


The trees were painted in last, so the paintings looked very strange until they were painted in, then the paintings came alive.


We worked with 3 shades of purples, greens and browns, so we spent alot of time mixing and getting the right balance of paint pigment and water.


We also mixed up a tiny bit of pink, as it's always nice to add a bit of pink!  Whether it's in skies or bluebells woods.


We also loved hearing how one of our artists came to the class because her husband proposed to her in a Bluebell wood .... aaaahhhh!

Claire will be back for a two-day Watercolour Class in June, where we will be doing some exciting things, please email or call for details, we still have some spaces available.  I can recommend a great B&B nearby.
