Last week we enjoyed our Annual Autumn Watercolour Class, this year we did a beautiful autumnal scene with a cascading river coming through some golden woodlands.
A great opportunity to use and mix some fantastic autumnal rich colours.
(If you need to buy any new watercolours, don't forget we sell Claire's own range of watercolours in our Online Shop her Autumn Berry colour in particular was very popular at this class).
Claire demonstrated the positioning of the trees and river winding it's way back through the picture, then followed this with some masking fluid, mixed with sand, to create the rocks and edges of the river. We used a Saunders Waterford thick paper which could handle everything we threw at it today!
Whilst everyone was building up their layers of paint and atmosphere I was busy creating lunch, today we enjoyed a crusted cod fillet on a bed of lentils, beans and red peppers served with piles of delicious roasted vegetables.
Dessert was pears cooked in a beautiful rose wine syrup, served with lime, yoghurt and toasted coconut.
Here are the beautiful finished paintings from our Autumn Glow Artists, well done everyone.
Next term's dates will be on the website shortly, ready for you to book.
