Stunning Snowdrops
Painted by our Beginners and Refreshers group this week.
At our B&R classes, Claire spends time at the beginning talking about paints, brushes and paper.
There is then time to experiment and play with the paints with and without water, mixing them together and watching how they interact with one another.
Claire uses a lovely thick paper from St Cuthberts Mill in Somerset.
The one we used yesterday was Saunders Waterford paper.
They are well worth following on twitter or facebook if you have either of those, as they regularly post some fantastic works of art from people. Very inspiring!
Claire shares plenty of tips (and provides notebooks for writing it all down!) so by the time our artists are ready to start their painting, they are fully prepared ....
Today we had a delicious Mary Berry Salmon lunch alongside brown rice/quinoa and this very tasty Warming Pesto Butter Bean Salad from Deliciously Ella and her new Every Day book.
A lovely day, great group and great paintings.
Even the deer were relaxed!
If you want to see some beautiful snowdrops, Welford Park, near Newbury is now OPEN
