My young artists explored Impressionism by creating colourful rural landscapes filled with rolling hills, farmhouses, mountains, trees, and sheep. Using bold colours and loose brushstrokes, they learned to capture the feeling of a scene rather than every detail. I’m so proud of their creativity, imagination, and enthusiasm throughout this project.👩‍🎨🎨💟

My heart is incredibly full🩷

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by my merchandise stall this weekend. Whether you took the time to say hello, share a kind word, or purchased something special, I am so grateful for your support.

Coastal Impressionism was this week’s theme.
Each artwork celebrates sunlit skies, rolling waves, sandy pathways, and the simple magic of the beach. With bold brushstrokes, vibrant colours, and imaginative expression, these pieces remind us that art is not about perfection, but it’s about seeing the world with creativity, confidence, and joy.🎨👩‍🎨

Some of Wednesday evening’s class paintings

🎨 Fun Mona Lisa Fact: The Mona Lisa doesn’t have clearly visible eyebrows or eyelashes!

For centuries, people wondered whether Leonardo da Vinci intentionally left them out. However, high-resolution scans of the painting revealed tiny traces of brushstrokes where eyebrows may once have been. Experts believe they were likely painted originally but gradually disappeared over time due to cleaning and restoration work.

It’s amazing to think that one of the most famous faces in the world may have looked slightly different when Leonardo first completed the masterpiece over 500 years ago.
