We have superb accomodation in Paihia. The hotel is across the road from the sea.
Vistas out to the Bay of Islands .
This morning I did a demonstration for the group and then they went away and painted on their individual balconies as the rain came down.
I divided the paper in half with blue tape.Alison painted strong darks with lots of energy and movement.Claire captured the image of the distant land mass with lots of atmosphere.Karen was just starting to put paint to paper.Wendy used a gorgeous little sketch book to capture the image of the trees along the foreshore.
A very successful painting time. Everyone happy to immerse themselves into doing a watercolour of their view from the hotel. They were amazing.
My view from the balcony as I sign off. A dozen or more p class yachts on the water.
