La Grande Maslerie: Perfect your Pastels, Day 1

Our first plein air day here at La Grande Maslerie, Roullours, Normandy, France. It was a wonderful morning with glorious sunshine so we headed to a nearby pond with water lilies au Monet! It was the most beautiful spot with painting worthy vistas at every turn!

Most of the students chose to paint the pond but Sylvia decided to choose the fields opposite the pond instead. After two hours of hard work we stopped for lunch then went back to paint a bit more in the afternoon.  Sylvia, Sara and Adela decided to stay close to the stunning chateau and paint in the shade of the beautiful pergola in the back garden.

All in all a wonderful day’s work with Unison pastels featuring heavily in each painting

#thepastel8 Visit to Thorneyburn

A fabulous day was spent at Thorneyburn last Friday in the company of Fiona Carvell, Michelle Lucking, Nina Squire, Cathy Pierce, Lynn Howarth, Meral Altilar, Lucy Brangwin and Rebecca de Mendonça.

For most of my life I assumed art was not for me, obviously I tried it at school, but I was never that good.

Just Sitting Around

Those that know my work know that I’m not a landscape painter. The thought of painting trees and grass and mountains gives me the willies.

Aloha fellow artists, I am writing from my little island in the Pacific. My name is Helen Turner and I live on the western most part of Kaua’i in the Hawaiian island chain.
