Sunsets Watercolour - St Michael's Mount

Last week we had a great group in to paint Watercolour Sunsets.

Claire had chosen St Michael's Mount in Cornwall as the image.

After the drawing, everyone mixed up their paints before laying out their washes.

The finished paintings were full of glow and atmosphere

We had a delicious lunch of Fish & Fennel Stew served with home made sourdough bread and some summer fruit sundaes to finish.

It was a Bucks-Fizz celebratory lunch as it was Claire's birthday the following day and there were some beautifully painted cards given ...

I managed to get a photo of everyone with Claire before they went home.

Thank you everyone for coming, it was a great day.

Claire is now off to Marlborough College Summer School to teach for 4 weeks, classes will resume in October.

Sunsets in Watercolour - 7 June 2011

After a month off, we were back with our watercolours for a class on Sunsets.

Using yellows and oranges, some lovely paintings of a sunset scene in Greece were produced.

We used some very fine black pens to draw in the masts and ropes afterwards, when the paint was dry.

Claire taught everyone how to do a "glaze" today, which is the reflection hue across the water.
