Our OUTDOOR SUMMER painting sessions are underway.
The first outing was to Eastleach House Gardens on the 15th June, where 10 painters and 1 friend enjoyed a day's painting. The gardens were beautiful and the weather glorious.
Thank you to Sallie for the following pictures.
We would love to see some of your paintings from these visits, posted here on Serendipity (hint, hint).

Arlington Row, Bibury, Water based oils

12x16" oil, underpainting, followed by final picture. "Trwyn y Penrhyn" or "Aberdaron bay Llyn".
This is a a studio painting based on an earlier watercolour of this location, which I have long intended to paint in oils, especially because of memories it evokes, of taking my daughter mackerel fishing etc to this hidden view of the bay beyond. Every picture can/should tell a story (of whatever kind); likewise with this painting and its origins.

I really enjoyed the workshop with Clive Eastland . This was my first attempt at using pastels. I was not sure I would enjoy the mess and feel of pastels but I think I might be converted ! Clive’s techniques were a great way to apply pastels .

I really enjoyed the workshop with Jane Vaux , this is the painting I did of the “Isle of Muck “ . It has a lot of memories for me , My Honeymoon ! I have never attempted a canvas this large before 100cm x100cm . We used palette knives , squeegees, sponges
and water sprays - a lot of mess but great fun !.
