Great day for the monthly paint out

The Jameses house in Simon's Town is a wonderful venue not just for its spectacular views but for the interesting garden cared for by gardening enthusiast, Alison and our fellow FHAS artist, Doug.

A handful of enthusiastic artists made their way there and enjoyed the sights and company.
Many thanks to the Jameses for their hospitality.

Penny Steynor demonstrated how it's done.

Some 20 members and friends attended this month's workshop - a good turnout.

The very talented Penny Steynor brought her watercolours and wowed us with the fabulous marines cape that she worked on in front of us.

The picture she painted was simplicity itself in design and proves the point that you don't have to get complicated to produce a great work.

We were able to pick up some great tips and were encouraged to get back to the easel ourselves.

Thank you Penny!
