The Rockies Return ....

This photo sums up our class yesterday, lots of laughter and fun!

Along with tons of drawing, perspective and lines ... before anyone was allowed to pick up a paintbrush!

It was lovely to celebrate a shared birthday of both our tutor Claire and Maggie, who came with her Wokingham Rock Choir friends.

A Celebration of Sunlight - Andalucia

Rain was due, but we ended up having a lovely day on Wednesday, whilst we painted an Andalucian scene.

There was alot of drawing involved, so the room was silent for quite a long time during the morning!

We discussed the vanishing point, and spent a while on perspective, as we started by drawing the lines for the building, it's balcony, windows and roof.

Pretty plant pots, tables with wine, and clever shadows really bought the paintings to life. 

Having a little rest outside ......

Delicious lunch today, Nigella's Spanish Chicken, Chorizo and New Potatoes, served with a lentil and beetroot salad, crusty bread and a green salad.

But pudding was very english, berkshire strawberries, served alongside meringues, double cream, blueberries and raspberries.

A very successful day.

Claire will be running another painting holiday to Andalucia in October, please contact me if you would like details.
