The venue was changed due to weather conditions, so trying to paint water from a printed picture was not ideal. However the tutor explained how to use the brushes and paints well,. Individual attention was excellent.

This is my second attempt with pastels pencils and I am thrilled with the result. As a newbie every picture is a learning curve and terrifying!This was a gift for a birthday and was an absolute pleasure to draw. I am pleased to say it was well received!

Title or Location: Through the coral reef
This piece was created while attending an art retreat by Milan Art Institute in Sarasota, Florida. The theme of the retreat was beneath the surface. I combined two images to add the mermaid in the background of the turtle image, creating a unique source. This painting combines collage, acrylic ink, spray paint, acrylic paint and is finished off with oil paint to encompass texture and vibrancy. As a New Englander I love being on or around the water. This piece brought out my passion for sea life
