We were drawing and painting in Anne-Marie’s garden today. We had amazing views across fields, hills, and towns. Mainly though we chose to draw the leopard plant / summer ragwort flowers, humming with bees; the pond area (in all its beautiful green-ness); and a wonderful, weathered door (which I completely forgot to take a photo of). 

We used pencil, watercolour pencil, watercolour paints, and water-brush. 

We were spoiled by Anne-Marie as she made tea and plum crumble which we ate in her lovely back yard area. I forgot I was an art teacher and thought I was on holiday. Thank you everyone for a your perfect company, and a very big thank you Anne-Marie, from all of us for the very special afternoon. 

(ps, no “bums” were harmed in the making of this blog)
