Wednesday's Watercolour Class with Claire was all about Afternoon Tea in the Garden
With beautiful colours
The morning started with some drawing of the teapot, cup and saucer, milk jug and the cake stand
Placed on a table with a pretty tablecloth, it was time to start creating our background washes
Showing a hint of roses, hollyhocks, lupins in the background
We had a variety of flowers in the jugs and indeed a selection of pretty jugs, especially the one above!
The cake stands were full of strawberries, scones, sandwiches and cupcakes.
I knew a normal lunch wouldn't really work today, so we had an Afternoon Tea instead, full of delicious savoury and sweet treats served with a selection of teas, it really did hit the spot!
Mushroom and Pine Nut Tarts
Egg & Cress, Salmon Chive & Cream Cheese and Cucumber sandwiches
Strawberry or Gin & Tonic Meringues made by Emma at Wooden Spoon Macarons in Cold Ash.
Mini caramel, cream and strawberry tarts
Scones with clotted cream and raspberry jam
An amazing Limoncello Drizzle Cake
Gorgeous Banoffee Tarts, I loved the touch of brushing melted dark chocolate into the pastry cases before filling.
And finally some mini pink meringues.
