This lovely great spotted woodpecker painting will be available for the first time this weekend on my stall at the Hay Castle Christmas fair. I did the painting back in 2020 but for some reason. Have never got around to framing it, until now! @haycastletrust #hayonwye #ellwoodart #ellwoodartuk

Tonight’s class at @chapelcottagestudio with Oriane Pierrepoint was about blocking in areas of light and dark on our oil portrait. Really pleased with how it is progressing but I can see lots of things that need to be ‘adjusted’ . #oilpainting #portrait #art #painting #artclasses #ellwoodartuk

Well I painted an apple this evening, but in oils which is a medium that I have very experience with, and I’m pleased with it.
Thanks to @orianepierrepoint and @chapelcottagestudio for the class!

Well I’m calling this one finished!
It’s my first dramatic seascape using the techniques I picked up in @garethjonesart.co.uk class recently, and I’m pleased with the result.

Had a great lesson with @orianepierrepoint this evening at @chapelcottagestudio. Very pleased with this for a 2 hour portrait in charcoal! #art #portrait #charcoal #ellwoodart #ellwoodartuk

So another evening of work on my seascape, can you tell what I’ve done?
It’s all about adding layers and takes a while, but getting there! 🤞#art #pastel #pastelpainting #seascape #wave #ellwoodart #ellwoodartuk

I made some progress on my seascape this evening at @chapelcottagestudio. I’m pleased with how it’s going but I find the foam on the water really difficult. I also need some more lights on the water to give it a bit more shape and movement. #art #pastel #pastelpainting #seascape #ellwoodartuk

So following three great days of lessons from @garethjonesart.co.uk I decided I had to try and paint a dramatic seascape on my own at art class at @chapelcottagestudio last night. So here is the work in progress after a couple of hours. #art #pastel #patelpainting #seascape #ellwoodart #ellwoodartuk

Third and final day of learning how to paint ‘dramatic seascapes’ with @garethjonesart.co.uk at @chapelcottagestudio . This was a tough one, but very pleased with the result.
Thanks for the great classes Gareth.

I’ve finally managed to complete one of my ceramic cat bowls, the second one will be finished soon too.
Bruce was very happy with it 😻

Another session at @chapelcottagestudio working on my full figure painting and the skin is progressing. I’m still finding it really tricky to get the skin tones correct but it feels like it’s coming together. Adding the necklace was really pleasing.
