After a hesitant start, I am
surprised and pleased that, in retirement, I can produce some work that I am
happy with and is admired by friend and family. I am certain this would
not have happened without Harriet's patient encouragement and tuition and this
new-found interest has given me much enjoyment.
An unexpected benefit
of the art lessons is that I now look at the landscape - especially trees in
winter - and buildings in a new light and with greater pleasure.
Also, my enjoyment and
appreciation of works of art has been greatly enhanced. On my visits to
galleries, I now look at pictures in even greater wonder than previously.
I am now looking forward to
working with oils

I am relatively new to
painting, having only had a brief introduction to veil painting some 25 years
ago! Then, recently, a friend encouraged me to join the watercolour class she
was taking with Harriet.
It has been
challenging to paint a scene that I don't see; painting between and around what
I would like to have appear on the page! But I am glad I have persevered. The
class is great -- Harriet is very encouraging and always available to assist,
and everyone is friendly and supportive of each other's efforts.
I now feel inspired to
explore this (negative) technique further. In the summer I might try my hand
with pastels ; in the autumn we will begin using oils. I am enjoying trying out
different mediums, which on my own I might never have done.
