Morning all, lovely work so far.
Gaynor, why not give it a go, some of it is a bit basic but it’s fun to do and there’s freebies at the end of it!

Go for it Gaynor.
Waves @ Margaret. Very quiet on here again isn’t it.
I have been doing battle with an overgrown bit of garden this am before we get rain.

I saw an enormous thistle and couldn’t resist painting it! I’ve decided to sell this one ready-framed. Glad everyone is enjoying the Derwent Academy challenges!

Lovely thistle Pam. It’s very brave of you to post glass, I don’t think I’d dare!
Hazel I just saw one of your herons on facebook - they’re fab.
Gaynor the course took me between 10 to 20 minutes per day including watching the videos, depending on how fast you paint of course. I didn’t learn anything new but have got 24 pastel pencils heading my way for free, so if you’re not doing anything else with your time then go for it!

That’s very pretty Stephie, when I looked at it I thought ‘hibiscus’. It’s a flower bursting with colour. I’m going to buy some Brusho when I reach my goal weight of 10 stone. (That’ll probably be around Christmas then!)

My oil pastels have arrived! Can’t wait to paint with them. They’re Faber Castell and the instruction leaflet says I can even use them in an encaustic way by heating them up first. Exciting! They do pong though…

Wow well done Hazel.
I have been cleaning the patio yesterday pm and today am using a new pressure washer, much better than the old one. Dozens of pots and outdoor furniture had to be moved. All sparkling now and me exhausted.
