Jane's Class

It was hard to find an art class near me; the closest was Alton between ¾ to an hour away depending on traffic. Jane @ http://ashleybrianart.co.uk/ has her own studio and charges in six week segments. She is extremely artistic and a fun person to be around; the class is full of like minded people who are nice and super talented. The classes are small and informal and all the materials are provided.

I wanted to paint Stonehenge and Jane taught me how to use grids to make my photo as large as the paper. She also taught me how to use Brusho inks for the background, the stones were finished off in acrylics. It took me three weeks but it was worth it.

Of course being a shopaholic I had to purchase the inks http://www.artsupplies.co.uk/info-brusho.htm and play at home on A4 watercolour paper. Jane suggested using pen to fill in the stones; I also tried crayon.
