Great Dixter - my first ever oil painting 🌳
Love seeing something I’ve created next to my treasured wooden candle sticks, bowls and vase turned by my grandad
On my recent painting weekend with @artclassesinrye I spent 2 days on an oil painting of the gardens at Great Dixter. By the end of day one I thought I was being too precious and slow so decided to work on this quick close up study.
It’s unfinished and maybe it’ll remain that way forever 🌾
Highlights from the wonderful weekend @elsiegraay and I spent in Rye with my uncle @archer.nick (@artclassesinrye ) and a talented bunch on our Dixter painting workshop.
My first time using oils and I think I’m hooked!
The most wholesome and joyful weekend doing the Great Dixter painting workshop with @archer.nick - @artclassesinrye
Here’s my charcoal sketch of a view across the gardens to the topiary trees.
