A Sunday workshop that was supposed to be a European canal scene but after a chat with these ladies we all decided for me to fill these 4 hours with lots of beginners skills and see these results.
Tips covered were:-
How to get the shimmer on the sea with candle wax.
How a totally horizontal line that tells you sea or water
Lifting out colour to make clouds
Getting darker and lighter colours using water not white paint
Getting into the habit of testing your colour on scrap paper before adding to your painting.
My style of painting with the ink and wax and water colour, a dandelion seedhead.
They followed my lesson plans to paint the Marigold and the Fuchsia
All with the aid of lots of tea, coffee and home made flap jack and mincemeat flapjack.

I hope I have inspired the beginners amongst you as the lady on the left hadn't painted before,
