Last week in class I painted one of my favourite paintings 'Woodland's End'. I love this scene as it contains a huge variety of greens and limes - my favourite colours. It's been a while since I taught this painting subject and we all really enjoyed messing around with it today. I decided to have a mini version on the go - you never know, it might end up being framed - might even go into exhibition. It shows the students how easily you can adapt the same brushes to work on small scale - plus, painting small-scale is an addition that my intermediate students have the option to do for a nominal fee (painting subject permitting). The mini-paintings make great gifts. They actually look great hung together in a collection too.
