Spaces available - Summer in the Garden

Claire joins us on Wednesday 5 June for A Summer in the Garden Watercolour Class

Suitable for all levels of artist, this is a class that will help you with your sketching skills, mastering washes and mixing of colours (we won't be using a green tube of paint for any of the grass and trees!)

Various colours will be dropped into the midground, foreground and background which will help with your understanding and perspective of creating paintings.

This is a great class for helping you with your summer masterpieces, perfect for the days when you can sit outside with your sketch book.

The class runs from 9:30am - approx 3pm and costs £75

This includes all of your materials, a 2 course lunch with a glass of wine and refreshments throughout the day

To book, please email Emily

Aga Baking with Sarah Whitaker

The Aga Lady Sarah Whitaker joined us at Treetops for a day of Aga Baking

It's incredible what she manages to create in such a short space of time!

Whilst she talked about the Aga, the different ovens and how to roast, bake, fry, steam, simmer etc there was a different bake being made

In a very short space of time we had sponge pudding, brownies, meringues, bread, christmas cake, a pineapple cake, pina colada tart, cheesecake, welsh cakes and a fantastic showstopper cake, a light sponge with whipped cream and white chocolate, a dark chocolate collar and topped with fresh fruit, delicious!

A delicious tasting tea of all the food cooked was enjoyed by everyone.

An Introduction to Brusho Paints Class

We had our first introductory class for Brusho Paints, little pots of really intense pigment, gorgeous colours that can create great effects.

Spring was definitely in the air!

Beautiful Buildings Watercolour

Our recent class with Claire, Beautiful Buildings

This class was all about looking for the beauty in old and forgotten buildings, their structure, their doors, windows, brickwork, setting etc ..

A great opportunity to get out the texture paste to create some effect for the brickwork, and also to work with pens as well as the watercolour paints.

There were so many new techniques learnt it was a great day.

Claire is back next week for our new class, an Introduction to Brusho Paints,

these are vibrant little pots of powdered paint, that create great effects, whether on their own dropped into water or mixed with the water before applying. I can't wait to see the finished paintings.

There are a few places left if you would like to join us
