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.

Come and Paint Greece!

Beautiful blues to start the new term ....

Join Claire and I for a bright and beautiful watercolour painting day, keeping the memory of summer alive!

£75

The cost includes all of your materials, refreshments throughout the day and a 2 course home cooked lunch with a glass of wine.

Pebeo Seascapes

And now for something a little different ....

On Thursday we had a Pebeo class

Pebeo are acrylic paints with a high viscosity that can be used on boards, canvas and also glass.

You can create great effects with their fantasy paints and watch them bleed into the other paint you've already put down.

More information on the paints can be found here

They are easily available from places such as Hobbycraft.

Today's theme was all about Seascapes, making blue sea effects of waves, rolling skies and becoming mesmerised as the paintings developed in their own way (and time!)

We stopped for lunch allowing some of them to dry, it takes about 24-48 hours for them to dry, or DAYS if you add alot of paint and alot of layers!

Claire is now heading off to teach at Marlborough Summer School, but once she has finished we will be announcing our Autumn term dates and subjects.

A little update .....
