Great step-by-step instruction from John at a recent workshop at Nymans NT gardens at Handcross in Sussex. We painted Chickens in the Apple Blossom Orchard. All twelve of us enjoyed ourselves & everyone did really well as usual! Amazing to achieve so much in a day, and coffee and cake thrown in too...can't be bad!
Arty Shopping
I've been to Seawhite's factory shop at Partridge Green today to stock up on paints, sketchbooks, boards etc. When I was teaching art and textiles at secondary school, we always used to buy our sketchbooks there -as so many schools and colleges do! The staff are knowledgeable and helpful, and I was delighted to see their range of art materials has recently expanded into a second room. There is an art exhibition at the back and some interesting paintings and information about local events in the foyer. I have always found their products to be very good quality but at wholesale prices. Has anyone else got a favourite supplier?
