The facilitator was very welcoming and friendly. She endeavoured to give everyone equal time , offering help and positive feedback. The location was beautiful spot however the flow of the session was marred by latecomers who had difficulty finding parking etc. personally, I am not a sun worshipper and felt two hours sitting in full sun quite uncomfortable and distracting. The heat also made it difficult to paint with the sun drying out paints etc .

Barb Rushe love for art started at school and has continued to grow through her exploration of its history, the varying genres and mediums. When she isn't painting, drawing or admiring an exhibition, she is busy as a special education teacher working with students with complex behaviour and learning needs. She also runs a weekly art club for students at school and enjoys the relaxed environment that allows for creative freedom and expression.

She is also a firm believer that learning is a life long endeavour where she continues to further her education which includes art, Auslan, coaching and teaching. Watercolour has been a huge interest in the past few years and after many classes and online courses, Barb feels she is ready to support others to develop their interest and love of this art medium.

I painted this one for a watercolour weekly challenge on FB where the subject was fish. My goldfish is looking up towards daylight. I spattered clean water on damp paint to give the impression of light dispersion in shallow water. I like the effect of clean water pushing paint away to add interest and light.

I?ve been practising florals in recent weeks and a friend asked if I would paint a rose based on a photograph she sent me. I was delighted to be asked but painted my interpretation of the rose, the features of the flower that I found attractive in her photo. I used some sea salt flakes for added textural effect. I am happy with the result even though I?m determined to practise a more loose interpretation of florals going forward.
