Claire arrived today with lots of bags and boxes of goodies for our Acrylics class.
Only a couple of people had experimented with Acrylics before, so Claire did a really useful explanation at the start about preparing your surfaces, choosing your paints and the use of brushes and palette knives. She had bottles of potions that helped the paint flow more easily, bottles of paste to build texture onto your paper, it was really interesting.
Inspired by a photograph of Sennen Cove in Cornwall, Claire demonstrated at the easel. Talking us through how to blend, blend, blend. Everyone had Watercolour painting experience but Acrylic painting is a very different way of painting.
Above is our class hard at work, and below are our finished paintings, all very different, striking and atmospheric.
And today's Pud, a delicious white chocolate and amaretti cheesecake!
Our next Acrylics class is on Wednesday 5 March - Cornish Harbours.
