Have just got back from my trip 'Up North' to the Leven Arts society and as usual it was a fantastic few days. Many old faces, and a few new ones, were there to join me on a fun few days of watercolour exploration.
Earlier on in the week I did a demo for the Guisborough Arts of my old favourite 'Rosemary Topping' ( yes the spelling is intentional ! ) and got them fired up for their afternoon painting session.
The venue for our painting days was at the village hall of Ingleby Greenhough at the foot of the scarp of the North York Moors. Last years sessions ended with a terriffic snowfall so we hightailed it up on the Moors to catch some great snow scenes...and wasn't dissapointed !
This year was totally different...our last day was wall to wall sunshine so we were able to get out and do some en plein air sketching which was a real bonus !
We also got to grips with some mixed media , watercolour and pastel , and the results were really exciting...so watch out next year !
