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.

Our Pebeo Paints Class

Sorry for the delay in posting this term's classes on the blog, I've got a new computer and it's taken me a while to work out how the photos work on here!

Our first class of the term was a new one;

Pebeo Paints

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

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

Claire demonstrated to the group, before they were let loose with their choice of colours

We had a break for lunch before continuing into the afternoon

Here is our finished artwork ready to go home ...

(Pebeo paints aren't quite dry for 24 hours so we had our gallery after the class on the hall floor!)

Beautiful butterflies, kingfishers, experimental patterns and a seascape

A busy day!
