The Abbey Ruins Painting - Work in Progress.

Tweet

This is the painting of the Abbey ruins that I'm doing at the moment. I did the sky first with a mix of cerulean blue and a LOT of white. Then when that was dry I did the black where it's dark shadows in the arch. Then I did the grass with light green, starting off with small strokes far away and making them bigger the further forward you get. I did the darker areas of grass closer to and some flower stems in sap green. Then I did the part of the ruins that is farthest away with a mixture of grey made by mixing black and white, and some cerulean blue. And now I'm leaving it to dry a bit. But there's a bit of a thing that's held me back a bit. I turned on my phone to text Paul to see how he's getting on with his art class, but before I got chance to, a text came up to say I'd got a voice mail and to phone 121 to access it. It was a lady saying that she was from the Seasons Art Class and that she'd received my letter but nothing else. (I'd sent a £99 deposit for the summer art class, but when I hadn't heard anything after a few weeks I sent a letter asking if they'd received the deposit.) So obviously it looks like the deposit has got lost in the post. I phoned the number that I had for them but it was Jan, and it was Sue who had sent me the voice mail. So I explained what had happened and Jan said she'd email Sue to get in touch with me to arrange a time to speak, and then she said she'd text me Sue's number aswell. So that's what she did. I'll probably just have to send another cheque. No-one would be able to cash the lost one anyway because it's made out to the Seasons Art Class. And that's the excitement I've been having today! What are you lot getting up to today? I hope you are all well. Have a nice day.
