Banish the Winter Blues Watercolour


Last week we had our annual 'Banish the Winter Blues' Watercolour class with Claire.

This year the theme was Snowdrops and Crocuses.

Most of the group managed two small paintings during the day.



















Great paintings from everyone!

Beginners Watercolour Snowdrops



Our Watercolour term started with a Beginners and Refreshers class

Claire starts these classes talking about the paints, brushes, papers and technique


after this everyone gets a chance to play with the paints and water


The next stage is starting the masterpiece!


The paintings today were fantastic and incorporated so many different techniques, water, trees, reflections and masking.


The snowdrops look lovely in the foreground and also along the banks in the background.

Below is our finished gallery of artwork

Brilliant!


Welford Park, near Newbury, has now opened it's doors for visitors to see their stunning snowdrops.

It's really worth a visit with your camera, sketchbook and wellies.
