Cliffs, Sand and Sea Paintings October 2018

Original Watercolour Painting and Colour Mixes by Sue

Welcome to the new academic year and a new course of Cliffs, Sand and Sea.  As you know my classes are open to beginners and more experienced artists.  On this course I was delighted to have two new beginners.  

As usual we started off by looking at examples by famous artists.  We discussed techniques, colour mixes and looked at various sand and cliff samples collected from Isle of Wight beaches.  Over the course of the four weeks the students produced a wide range of paintings using various mediums such as oil, watercolour and acrylic.  

The wonderful paintings created by the class are seen below including my own:
