We welcomed our Rockies group from Wokingham, back again for another fun art day.
Claire had some amazing photos from West Bay in Bridport.
There were some lovely washes to start with, the beach in naples yellow, light red and then burnt umber.
The sky was for the artists to create with their chosen colours such as naples yellow, cobalt blue and light red.
After the first wash had dried, there was a second wash on the sea which was cerulean mixed with indigo.
The key was then to keep the light colours from the first wash in the sky and build up the dark stormy clouds wet in wet style.
Light red and cobalt to create a lovely purple hue, indigo and a mix of ultramarine blue with burnt umber. These stormy colours were only diluted with water slightly, so that the colours stayed dark.
Hard at work!
I love the colour card created below
Drying some of the washes with a hairdryer
After lunch everyone had the chance to try a smaller painting with the skills learnt earlier in the day.
Lunch was a delicious lamb and cranberry tagine, with pistachios, yoghurt and mint.
Squash salad
Giant couscous and quinoa salad with almonds, lemon and parsley
A lovely day, with some occasional festive singing!
