What's coming up this Autumn?.... Read on ...

Back from my Summer break, thinking about what we have coming up next term for you:

Watercolour

All classes are now full for Autumn Term, but please call me incase there is an opportunity to go on a waiting list.

Watercolour classes run from 9.30am - approx 3pm.  All materials are included.  Plus a 2 course lunch, glass of wine and refreshments throughout the day.  

Cost £70

Christmas Aga

(Beef and Ham)

£65

A tasting lunch and a glass of wine are included, along with a copy of the recipes to take home.

There will be plenty of time to ask Sarah all your Aga questions.  Despite this year's menu being Beef and Ham, there will be plenty of Turkey chat time!

Wednesday 4 December

Susanna's classes run from 9.45am - 2pm.  A light lunch with a glass of mulled wine and all of your materials are included. 

This class is a lovely start to the festive season, an opportunity to pick up lots of fresh and innovative ideas on how to decorate your home this year, plus a chance to make a beautiful wreath to adorn your front door or table.

Back on the Beach

Our Coastal and Seascape painting days are always popular, which is why we had two this week.

It was a great way to end this term's classes.

Roll on Summer!

Below are some more lovely beach scenes:

(And a sight I love to see .... a man washing up!)

On the Beach Watercolour

We were on the beach today!

Painting some great seascapes, experimenting with various blues and yellow tones.

Again we were concentrating on our back, mid and foregrounds.

Today's tricky part was "people", Claire spent time showing us how to paint people on the beach. 

 

We enjoyed a delicious lunch whilst our early washes dried and after a glass of wine (and meringues and strawberries!) we were ready to get back to work.

Next terms dates are selling fast, the new dates are on the post below.

Green and Lush ...

The garden at Treetops is looking beautiful at the moment, it's very green thanks to the recent rain.

The Wisteria is just holding on after some very high winds over the last two days.

There are only two classes left this term at Treetops, I have some spaces on one of them:

Coastal Seascapes - Wednesday 3 July

A Watercolour class that runs from 9.30am - 3pm.

Lunch and all your materials included = £70.

Claire and I are putting together next term's dates, along with our Flower classes and Aga classes, our Autumn Term will have lots of great classes to choose from.

A Sunny Sunflowers Class

We started our class today, very leisurely in the morning sunshine!

It was lovely to have some sunny bright sunflowers to paint, with everyone choosing a variety of layouts.

We used an acrylic texture paste today for the petals and some glass beads in the centres, these were applied with palette knives and looked really effective.

Hard at work!
