I was initially overwhelmed and over-awed by the different combinations possible. I made the usual beginner's mistake of trying to draw too many things at once. To draw a cluster of four or five flowers together was a very amateurish attempt that ended in a poor painting. I have since learned to concentrate on a petal at a time with much better result. It often results in a much better painting and definitely builds up patience.
Volunteers Needed During all painting sessions, someone has to stand by, ready to help.
The setting up of the equipment, and putting all the necessary tools in place were essential before I can begin my work. My helper needs to squeeze out paints on the palette, wash the brushes and other apparatus during each session. I can do with more volunteers. All are welcome, especially if you have lots of patience and a healthy sense of humour. Any aspiring artist who thinks that painting with a brush is an interesting idea and a novel venture that you can really sink your teeth into are welcome to join us.
