So much fun! a great way to spend an afternoon with friends :)

01 April 2019 • Still Life Watercolour (March 2019)

What a great morning in a beautiful space learning the basics of watercolour painting with Elizabeth Barnett. Lizzy was gracious, generous, and ran a beautifully well structured class covering all kinds of things including brushes, paints, the usefulness of a colour mixing chart, her favourite sources of inspiration, shared her sketchbooks for us to look at, and told us to break the rules! The venue was delightful, and the light lunch provided and glass of prosecco a bonus :) For this class, an extra hour would have made it totally perfect - I felt a little like we were running out of time towards the end, and I really wasn't able to enjoy a more leisurely bite to eat and chat with other class members. My only (very small) niggle on what was otherwise a perfect morning. Thanks for having me!

11 March 2019 • Haute Couture Beading (March 2019)

I had a lovely day - the tutor was wonderful, as were the helpers, and the snacks and drinks were fabulous. One tip: we sat on the floor (because that's the way the frames are designed to be used) - I wish I'd brought a better cushion, something really thick would have worked better.
