More detail added to the playground painting…
Having just returned from holiday, I was desperate to find time to add some more detail to the painting at Sampford Arundel school…. Managed today to add sunflower heads and wellies… Still have the swallow to paint, swooping in from the left of centre… Another couple of hours should see it complete!
Almost done…
Playground Wall-Art almost completed today but intermittent rain stopped ‘play’ at various points throughout the day!! Fabulous time working with every child from 4 – 11 over two days…..Returning soon to add finishing details …..

Working from the children’s ideas, I had made a quick sketch of their design….church, school, hills, hedges, wellies and much more… We began by blocking out areas of sky, trees, grass and hedges…. Sketchbook(7ft x 8ftContinue reading “Busylizzie ‘al fresco’….”

A very successful afternoon was spent yesterday with the lovely children at Sampford Arundel Primary School, planning for their large scale playground painting which will cover some rather unsightly garage doors! Having watched a clip of the great master of painting in the landscape, David Hockney, the children began to share their ideas of what theyContinue reading “Planning our playground painting…”
