Seasonal water colours in Killaloe, student work.

As much as possible I keep my class subjects Seasonal, which gives the year a lovely flow, in colour as well as form.
 Work in progress by D. Rowsome and W. Stark, students, in Killaloe on the Monthly Monday drawing and painting class.
M. Conran, student, work in progress.

Red is a challenging colour to use in water colour, so I bought some Pointsettias and went to Ikea specially to get some lanterns, for lovely muted relfections. Deirdre took one look at them and said, I'm not doing THOSE...' Sigh. However, Matt took a deep breath, raised his eyebrows and said, Whatever you say Julie... There now, how lovely!!

 I have also been trying out new venues, so its a bit of an art mystery trail for my regular students, but it keeps things fresh! Last month we met in an Italian deli, in their reading room, which was cozy. And very...Italian!!
