Teacher very nice, good understanding of art. Level of people attending (9) was total beginner to experienced. Where more time spent with the less experienced. Out of two hours probably had less than 5 minutes one to one tuition for ?26 . Over all a nice and enjoyable morning but I didn't gain much from the experience.

Title or Location: Knaresborough soft light at dusk
SOFT LIGHT AT DUSK under Knaresborough viaduct. This evokes good memories of a May walk with my husband, just soaking up the still reflections of the viaduct and the neat boats put to bed for the day. Then off for a glass or two of wine at the tap (Track & Sleeper) on Knaresborough railway station. Oil on MDF board 10 by 12 inch panel. A very enjoyable day.

This started out as a beach scene but evolved into a forest after seeing an inspiring photo. I think I subconsciously painted it for myself because it?s hanging in my entryway and brings me such peace when I study it.
