August 2013 meeting and workshop.

Pam was our teacher on Saturday for Mountains and Rivers August 2013 Meeting, we had a lovely afternoon painting our practice piece and mirror compact. Pam was very professional as usual, making it look very easy to follow step by step. Matisse paints were used for this project, they have strong pigments and very much suited to this project, Thanks Pam.

Our August meeting was quick but informative meeting, I can also say relaxing as we sat and enjoyed coffee and all the home made sandwiches and lots of goodies that our members go to the trouble of preparing each meeting for our lunch together. Thank you ladies!

Roberta's workshop was great, we painted with fingers, water, paint, cloths and somewhere in there we had a brush in our hand. The results were stunning, everyone painted and each of the painting were as varied as our personalities. Thanks Roberta.
