For this last week of acrylics we’re painting our favourite places, where do we feel most comfortable? Is it that warm, cosy chair in the corner of the living room? Or perhaps a sunny spot in the garden. We all have that special place that makes us feel at home, calm, and relaxed☺️

We took oil pastels a step further this week, with a playful and experimental session of sgraffito... Inspired by leaves and flora from the garden we scratched and etched with oil pastels to produce this charming array of textured artworks. Then our sgraffito exercise took a vibrant turn as we incorporated a burst of colourful pine cones, leaves and snowdrops into the mix!
