Today I taught my first 'workshop' for the 'Aspley Art Group'. It was a group of 12 lovely ladies, who made me feel very welcome... which helped to 'chase' those 'nerves' away.
I'm pretty much self-taught....I have never taught before, so I guess I was a little worried about how to actually 'run' a class.
I prepared myself by completing 2 small paintings at home first. I wanted to time myself to see how quickly I could finish 2 simple landscape artworks. These are my 'step-by-step' photos of the 2 paintings we did.....
Some of the completed artworks by the students...all different but all very good, they should all be very proud...great work.
I was pleased with the way the day turned out. Everyone in the class managed to complete 2 beautiful paintings, and it was great to see everyone learning and practicing different techniques. It was very satisfying for me, I enjoyed myself and I think everyone else did too. I'm looking forward to returning later on in the year for future classes.
