Several of our artists are having their paintings made into Christmas Cards, they will look great.

This was our last Watercolour Class for the year.

Bookings are being taken for our Spring Classes.

We've got a great selection of subjects, and are also having an Introduction to Pastels on 14 February.

Monday's Winter Scene Watercolour

It's that time of year again for our popular Winter Scene Watercolour Class.

We've painted some very pretty snowy scenes over the years.

This week was a little welsh picture.

It was really enjoyable to paint, once we'd mastered vanishing points, perspective and the use of masking fluid.

Again, Claire manages to cover a variety of skills whilst teaching in a step by step style which makes it really enjoyable and (mostly!) stress free!

Winter's View at Treetops

Beautiful colours and mists at the bottom of the garden.

Beginners Watercolour Class

We had a lovely day today with our Beginners.

This is such a popular painting, the colours are gorgeous.

The painting enables Claire to cover a variety of skills during the day.

Well done everyone, I hope they are hanging on your wall soon!

Putting Life into Still Life Watercolour Class

Today we had a Watercolour Class with Claire, titled Putting Life into Still Life.

There was a wide variety of things to choose from.

Claire demonstrated stage by stage some flowers in a jug, but there were lots of items to put together ourselves, and the plan was to paint "Loose and Free", therefore quickening the process and enabling everyone to paint a couple of pictures during the day.  

Here is the Gallery of our paintings:

Here is a selection of the paintings displayed at the end of the day, if you click on the photographs it should enlarge.
