On a rather muggy day yesterday we held our Stormy Seas Watercolour Class with Claire.
I have to start with the photo above as this is a lovely new Beginner and her first attempt at Watercolour! Never be afraid to join us and give painting a go, we have small groups and the most amazing tutor to teach you.
We were shown some beautiful images from Porthleven in Cornwall, which has fantastic waves and stormy seas in the winter.
A Stormy painting at Treetops always includes toothbrushes and masking fluid flicked across the painting!
I'm sure you'll agree the paintings are all incredibly atmospheric.
I logged onto a webcam that sent a live stream from Porthleven, lovely and calm yesterday of course, but if you want to take a look it's here
A photographer called Carla Regler has some amazing photographs taken in Porthleven, Cornwall and all round the country, I can definitely recommend making a cuppa and visiting the gallery section on her website
Below is our own Gallery of some of the finished paintings mounted.
All that concentrating requires lots of food!
We had a variety of salads today served with a spinach, nutmeg and roasted red pepper roulade.
Claire will be teaching at Marlborough Summer School next and will be back at Treetops for a lovely bright and breezy Summer Florals at the end of August
