the groups are going really really well, I was ill for one eve so they are now behind the others but my goodness what talents are unfurling! It’s so lovely to see the delight when they stand back and see that evrything on that canvas is entirely theirs, from conception - it was all there locked away!! hurrah!
the monday group at Enville are now ‘mastering’ watercolour.. this is a double challenge as i’m not a watercolour artist although I have sold a few - and I do mess about with very fluid watercolours and inks.. however this bunch are determind and really persevere with some pleasing results. the difficulty arises when those that want to paint ‘realistically’ don’t really get my loose approach to painting, getting them to let go and just ‘be’ is what I’m hoping to do, and not worry about lines, about detail and finished pieces.. I want them to let the work evolve… humm i’ll keep trying!
