Sunny Sweet peas |
I
picked up my brushes again at last.
I
was inspired by a photo I’d taken of the sweet peas in the garden last
year. They filled the garden with
glorious scent for the short time they were there. I had to pick them often to keep them
flowering and so the house was full of their lovely scent too.
One
day I set a vase on the kitchen window sill in the sun and they cast an
interesting shadow. Can’t resist cast shadows!
The
painting features a glass vase; always fun to paint glass and for some reason
glass in a painting always attracts our attention.
My
new DVD has a glass painting demo in it.
It’s going to be released very soon now.
There have been one or two production issues which have had to be dealt
with but we are getting there!
Those
who have pre ordered will soon be receiving their DVD. But I thought I should point out to those who
want to buy a copy that this DVD is only available through me and my
website. It will not be appearing on
Amazon, neither will it be available via the SAA. So be warned, if you would like a copy then
please get in touch with me via my website
There
you can pay through Paypal, which is a well known, entirely safe and totally internationally
reputable way to pay, or you can simply send me a cheque.
The
DVD is very reasonably priced at £15 plus post and packing for nearly two hours of
painting tuition and loads of useful techniques explained fully and clearly.
So
why don’t you go for it? I’d love for
everyone to benefit from our hours of preparation, filming and producing, which
has been a great learning curve but huge fun as well. We wanted to produce something of real quality
and I think we have.

ReplyDeleteIts beautiful and thanks for sharing.
Thank you Nur!
DeleteAnn your painting makes me feel sunny on a cold, snowy night! I love the (apparent) simplicity of your brushstrokes.
ReplyDeleteWishing you success with the DVD!
Hi Deborah, Thank you and yes I agree it's nice to bring back memories of sunshine, warmth and beautiful perfumes in this cold dark weather! My treatment of the sweet pea flowers was of necessity loose and impressionistic...they are such complicated shapes anyway, and so they were best rendered as a sweet smelling mass of colour, tones and light. Thanks for calling in! Ann
