End of the month again, meaning we all do our own projects at class. With the winter school holidays that started last week not everyone was there today. So here are a few I found interesting. We are going to Cape Town for 10 days, I will post some photos when we are back.

This past Thursday was a real challenge for all of us. Painting faces are definately not easy and is something that needs to be practiced a lot. What made this class such fun was that we did a painting of a small boy. Children's faces have a lot of character and one can use more bold colours. Although we all did the same painting, once again they are all quite different, bringing out the artist's personality and paint tecnique. Hope you enjoy them to.

Sorry to all my Thursday Group ladies and one lucky gentleman. I have been neglegting to update this blog. Well, here goes.

Two weeks ago we did some botanical paintings. This was a class al enjoyed very much. It involved some craft and paint abilities.

First the canvas was primed in a dark blue with 2 white top coats. Once the paint dried, we sanded some areas to make it seem antique. Then stencils and filler was used to create a decorative 3d effect. The flowers were painted and a light green wash was used to create an old feeling. I love these paintings, they have a real old world charm.
