One glass or two…workshop photos
Am feeling guilty…..we painted fab wine bottles last night but I didn’t offer a glass of the real stuff!! We layered paints to reveal shadows, embossed to give our bottles a shiny top (just like the real thing lol), blended shadows and dry-brushed highlights, and made vintage french labels too, well done girls, you did […]
Cute Folky Girls :-)

Hydrangeas Workshop
Yesterday was fab…..four wonderful students who painted beautiful hydrangeas onto canvas. After base coating the canvas’s, we painted our vases and then added dry-brushed leaves. It was then time for a ploughman’s lunch before learning how to paint a crescent stroke, the basis of our hydrangeas. I love it when students think they can’t achieve […]

Today I had the second of my two LOVE workshops where we all enjoyed upcycling old junk jewellery on an MDF cutout. We also got to play with paper layering, stenciled glass beads medium, crackle, and antiquing medium.
