Anna-Karin's stunning background with trees
Tuesday 2 December
Last Tuesday Catherine and Dom did their very best on a variety of starters' exercises, and the results (although they are just meant to practise!) are very promising:
Catherine painted 3 background exercises on one board!
Existing forground - background first - flowing background.
Not finished, more later, but well done already

Dom worked hard on the spheres - and is now hooked! Next time - dew drops for him...
So we worked on 'backgrounds'. Either combined with a detailed foreground - or background only. It certainly inspired Cathie and Sandra who both painted their own version of 'stormy weather'.

Avril and Christiane chose a background with a detailed foreground, and both chose a tree - and that's where the resemblance ends, isn't it fun to see the differences!!
An African landscape by Avril
(note how she makes the background go on behind the tree)
A fairy-tale tree coming out of the clouds by Christiane...
All ends of branches will be animal faces!
South French Village by Liz (forgot to ask which one) with blue-sky background
she used small torn-off pieces of masking tape for the whites, which gives a very playful effect.
Christine will work on a background too - but has started a (very complicated) foreground! This is going to be gorgeous (but will take a few more sessions to complete)!
And then last but certainly not least, a couple of projects were finished!
Anna-Karin's Red Cabbage
Avril's Jellyfish
Edith's Jellyfish
It was another fine class! With music (thanks to Avril) cookies (thanks to Nelly), tisane and coffee - and a great atmosphere. I'm ready for the next one... Wanna join? Pop in to have a look! Starters program available... Materials provided.
