Two Day Workshop with Estelle Hartley at Beautiful Bosky Dell in Plett

"Colour is my Language - My Brush is my Voice" Estelle Hartley

For two fun days we painted with reckless abandon as we approached oil painting like never before.  


Thank you Estelle for the lovely time.

Our Venue - open air studio in the gazebo with stunning views and bird melodies and baboons barking in the mountains

As we arrived at Bosky Dell Rose Pavilion we were greeted by this beautiful rainbow that appeared white from the low mist.  Enchanting!

Estelle demonstrating our first subject - Beacon Isle in Plett

Loose, wet and fast to get the glowing effect

All the same input but each painting an individual expression

This is my first oil painting class and my attempt at the Beacon Isle - still in progress

Tea and Scones - AAAAAHHHHHH!

Nummy lunch - thank you Rae

After lunch on the second day we stepped into a very fast and loose painting of our choice

Imagine painting and having this view to inspire the creative juices!

So glad to have my friend Wendy Pretorius nearby for some moral support

Ulrike in deep thought - bringing thoughts of our darling Mothers into this space

Thank you Ilse for the journey to and from

A productive two days of bliss

My first seascape in oil - fast and fun
