'Paint a beach' painting workshop

My new 'paint a beach' workshop concluded on Wednesday 31 January with the 10 proud participants presenting their finished acrylic paintings completed over a 4 week period (8 hours)  Such a contrast from the first week when the apprehensive group unwrapped their substantial 16 x 20 inch canvases to the final evening when everyone's hard work and new found confidence resulted in these beautiful beach paintings, all very different and personal to each individual participant.  I have been totally astonished with the quality of the work produced and cannot believe these artists once described themselves as 'beginners'. Not any more!
