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 ~

Amanda Hyatt workshop

Last  month I had the great fortune to be part of a 5-day Workshop course in Sidmouth.  Our tutor was

  Amanda Hyatt from Australia.

We did some work in the Studio and also some paintings en plein air.

All the following paintings are Amanda's work

My fellow students were generally used to using watercolour.

I happened to spot immediately one Professional artist the minute he walked in to join the course

Steve Hall  

That for me confirmed that it isn't only beginners/intermediate artists who go on Art courses,

the Professionals do too.

Here's a photo of us all at the end of the Course.  I'm at the back on the right (hiding) lol

And talk about Professionals on this Course,
it was great to meet and follow online
