Christmas Canapes Class

 


Well this class was so brilliant and busy, I didn't get any time to take photos!

But I can say we had a fantastic group in to watch the demonstration of over 10 different canapes for this upcoming festive season, both savoury and sweet.

Learning what could be prepared ahead of time, with plenty of top tips, and sharing of products. In true Blue Peter style I had made extra of many of them, so there wasn't one canape that couldn't be tasted.

Everyone enjoyed a glass of fizz on arrival and enjoyed the canapes being passed around.  

Thanks everyone for coming, it felt and smelt so festive!

Water Lily Pond Oils Class

 


Our Oils class was bright and beautiful, we painted Water Lilies amongst a vibrant green and blue pond, the end results were brilliant.


We all had such a lovely day, the majority of our artists had not painted with Oils before and they really enjoyed themselves.


Claire starts the class with a full demonstration of the painting for everyone to watch, before they start to put paint on the canvas.





As you can see they are all so different, I love this shade of pink with the green and blue.





Below is our family trio out to spend a lovely day together, we also had another mother and daughter come together too.


Lunch was Scandi Salmon, which was delicious followed by a pear and chocolate crumble.


We will definitely be holding another Oils Class next year, so look out for the date.

Cornish Harbour Watercolour Class

 


It's been a busy month at Treetops so far, so I am catching up on my blog posts.

These photos are from our Cornish Harbour Watercolour Class with Claire on 1 November.  We also used a fine black marker towards the end to highlight certain areas of the painting.


We started with a gentle pencil sketch of the Harbour


Followed by a gentle first wash of paint.  

Some of you may recognise the harbour as St Ives


We had some colourful boats and some beautiful water painted.





Lunch today was a delicious lamb and apricot tagine served with flatbreads.


Thank you everyone for coming it was a lovely day.
