My Experimental Watercolour Workshop Through My Friend's Lens:

Studio Journal: MAY: 2023:

I can’t believe that I was teaching at Hope & Elvis a week ago!

The time is flying by and it’s only now that I have the chance to flick through the photos and footage that I took (I ALWAYS wish that I had taken more photos but I’m too busy chatting and laughing!)

I’m about to start a vlog about the workshop weekend, but thankfully my good friend Emma (miss_artteacher_uk on Instagram) has kindly shared some of her photos with me, she is such an excellent photographer and artist: thanks again chuck!

(You can see that a lot of paint-flinging had been going down on my demo table!)

The two photos above are of the work created by my talented friend, we fitted a lot into a one day workshop (and we all managed to have a good laugh and have cake pit-stops too!)

I love seeing other people’s photos from a day that has taken the best part of a year to prepare. I love spending time experimenting, researching and planning a workshop, but it always amazes me just how quickly the day disappears in a flash, and so I’m really grateful to see snapshots of the workshop from another person’s perspective.

Here’s the display of the examples I had prepared for the day.

At the end of a very creative day, surveying the fruits of our labours!

Huge thanks to Wendy at Hope & Elvis for your kind hospitality and to my buddy Sam, whose technical knowledge and display skills are second to none!

I can’t wait to share more about this workshop weekend with you, I’ll be back soon!

A LITTLE NOTE TO ANYONE WHO’S NEW TO SUBSTACK:

Thanks so much for subscribing to my Substack.

If you’re new to this (like I am!) it might be handy for you to know that if you don’t want an email every time I post here, you can click on ‘unsubscribe’ at the bottom and just un-tick the box where it says ‘Mrs B’s Substack’ and/ or ‘The Bertimus Bulletin’ (I’ve not started to use this yet but I plan on it becoming a monthly newsletter), then you can hop onto Substack to read when you want instead, if you’d prefer.

Cheers and thanks again!
