Following on from my previous post - Amanda Hyatt workshop

Now it's time to see my efforts from the

Amanda Hyatt workshop

5 days

at the end of which, I felt exhausted,

but it was SO WORTH IT.

 and, I was there to LEARN...

here's a learning curve example

(in my defence, my back was really hurting me at the time...hence I

Slapped on bright paint quickly)

although it may not look a BRIGHT AND IN YOUR FACE PIECE, IT TRULY WAS

and when I got home I washed out a lot of paint and toned it down.

I enjoyed painting this river view 

and also this quiet harbour

this next painting wasn't painted en plein air, 

(on that occasion I sat back and watched everyone else)

but when we got back into the studio the next morning,

I painted this in about an hour

Then on the final afternoon, I didn't have a painting to work on,

so Amanda found a reference photo for me and I painted this

I was really chuffed when Amanda complimented me and said I really nailed it,

and that it reminded her of home with the gum tree.

 ~ well, colour me happy ~
