Market Scenes Workshop in St Francis Bay - Look what we did ...

Thank you St Francis Bay artists for a fab two day workshop, I loved every minute of it.  
Christine was able to secure the bowling club and it was a perfect venue with plenty of space and light.  Many thanks for organizing that and big thanks to Neil for helping us to set up and making us feel welcome.

Some Beginning Steps

Step one - be brave

Step two - be wreckless

Step three - be ridiculous

Step four - breathe a bit

Step five - let the colours make their own magic

Step six - find the distant people and paint behind

Step seven - some detail, but not too much at this stage

Step eight - step back and get a sense of where it has gone

Some examples of different approaches
