SIDMOUTH SKETCH


On Saturday afternoon a few of us walked down to the sea, at Sidmouth in Devon, and sat on the rocks while we did some quick sketches of the view around us. It's always nice to sketch with friends.

Watercolour Workshop



This weekend I spent a wonderful time at Sidmouth in Devon on the Tadley Community Church Ladies Weekend. On Saturday morning thirty ladies chose between an aerobic, singing, creative writing and painting workshop. I thoroughly enjoyed running the painting one and we had a relaxing and fun time painting in the shade of a tree in the beautiful garden. Some amazingly beautiful flower paintings were done especially as some of the ladies hadn't painted since they were children. As you can see from the photos of the lovely English Country Garden there was no shortage of subject material.
