My first teach!


Since I finished the teaching course (PTTLS) in December, I've not actually applied myself in a search for a teaching post, however, I was asked to teach a group of locals a watercolour class. With none of the students having any past experience, I decided to opt for a simple flower painting on white ground.
I was really surprised at how scared alot of the students were to begin the painting. They watched my demo (above) with awe and fear!! However, many were soon involved in the task and found themselves absorbed in the painting process. I really enjoyed the experience, and now want to find a local place to start up a course.

Online friends


Theres nothing quite like a little love from some online friends to cheer you up at the end of a long day!! Ok so the snow has thawed down south but our roofers arrived today and found lots of rotting joists that they didn't know were rotting!! More expense there then! Still its nice to log on and find some comments on my blog ...yeay.. and a write up over at sooziebee! Thank you! Its so inspiring to see fresh water colours, and when I saw how well Karen Fulkner does on etsy with hers , I thought good on you girl! I'm inspired to get my water colours out, and in response today here's one of my pieces from my art college days!
