I had intended to post this last week but as usual time got away from me,

I spent a week in Ullapool in July doing a 5 day workshop with Eleanor White of , I enjoyed it and meeting other artists but I can鈥檛 do the art as well as I would like to, still I had a go and will keep trying,
Mondays drawing I didn鈥檛 like enough to bring home and didn鈥檛 take a photo so that鈥檚 it, most of Tuesdays work, didn鈥檛 work either but I will share one so you can see what I mean,

Wednesday was better I had been feeling by the end of Tuesday that perhaps I had made a mistake coming on the course and so really thought about what I wanted from the course and that was techniques, art tutors are always talking about texture but never demonstrate or show examples so I chose to paint a stone wall and concentrate on textures, I had a wonderful time and felt like a kid splashing paint around the paper, I was thinking my colours were a bit bright, the wall was more subdued and I was going to grey the colours when I saw another students work which was the beach pebbles but in bright colours not like the ones on the beach, I had a wee blether with her and decided to leave mine as they were and I am pleased I did, this is not a picture but a sample of textures for me to use as reference,

Thursday was not good for me but Friday was better, I only worked the morning as I wanted to get the afternoon ferry home, Eleanor told us to texturerise a sheet of paper, then when it was dry we were to tear it into pieces and choose some or all to reassemble as a collage and glue them, this was to be what we painted on, this is my result,
