My Student has lovingly spent each session, for the past few months working on this gorgeous Cat painting, using a mix of Acrylic Paints and Posca pens, and how beautiful and vibrant it is!! 😍
She really has found her style, and this is No. 2 in her Cat series of paintings, and more shall follow. I've added the first one in to show you.

I am thoroughly enjoying watching these Clay Relief Turtles slowly taking shape. Today my student laid down Texture paste for the sea, and for the sand. Aren't they just so cute!
I am so excited to see the final artwork in all its glory 🐢 🐢 😍😍

We've had some great works of art in progress this past week, and such a mixed bag of ideas and mediums being used; from clothes designing, to clay, to Oil Pastels to Halloween Beach Huts, to wire figures, Acrylic and more!!

As Summer comes to an end, our Art Sessions are back up and running weekly, here at Thrive Through Art
And what better way to see in the Autumn, than with Autumnal Styrofoam Printing.
My 1-1 session today, introduced my student to this process and she loved every minute of it! Such an effective and enjoyable process 🍁🍂🪾

For those that are new to my page, I thought I ought to share a few pieces of my own art...so here is a snippet.

Some of these are ones I created working alongside my students, which is something I like to do, especially in 1-1 settings. It helps to guide the student, offer tips along the way and show them that practice, practice helps to hone their skills.

I've realised how much I love drawing or painting animals 🤔😆.....and making Art makes me Happy!! 😊🥰❤️❤️

As the Summer holidays come towards the end, it's always a sad time to say farewell to some students, as they head off to College or School, and start new journeys. But a happy time when you look back on their progress. Not just from a creative perspective, but from the person they were, when they initially walked through the Thrive Through Art door, to whom they've now become. I often note the subtleties in their confidence growth, or the huge changes that have occurred. The banter that happens once they feel comfortable in my presence, and the great chat that unfolds as we create.

I wish every one of my students who have left this summer, the absolute best on their new pathways. Be Brave, Be Fearless, Just Be You!!

Photos: a Thank You card, a gift of Green Paint (that's banter from my student right there!) And a gifted piece of art.....thank you 🥰🥰
