Hi Bloomers!
In this newsletter I have lots of great student paintings to share with you created at
The Blooms Painting Workshops in France where students live-in, enjoying accommodation in authentic French villas in rural Limousin and the catering is provided by French chef JOSE and our cook.
We are in the last weeks of summer, and enjoying the peaches,
apples and plums on the trees at La Foret du Temple, and the magnificent hydrangeas. My sunflowers are up too.
Last week we finished Blooms France Oils available to those
who have worked with me before, and for students enjoying taking their work to the next level
learning oils and handling more complex paintings.
Katherine's captivating Rose dyptich created at Blooms France oils. To create this painting Katherine learned about handling complex shapes, multiple colour blends and building the painting. |
Katherine E began her art journey at the Brisbane Blooms in April this year where she learned to paint
Blooms, which taught her how to confidently start and finish a painting. This
was her first art class ever.
Then
she came with us on French Art School and learned to paint from life and
created some beautiful pieces in June and then joined us for Blooms Oils France Oils.
Fabulous paintings to a high level in three workshops and well done to Katherine!
In order to create this painting Katherine learned to see more detail and create multiple blending. |
All
of this since April with no painting at home time in between as too busy like many of us. And no painting
lessons before our time together. Just showing up and painting in the time we
had together. Through learning the Blooms Painting Method Katherine has been
able to enjoy a fast acceleration in skills. Katherine shared about her experience;
‘You’ve started and are right into it before you know it.
You don’t realise it with Jac but you are learning as you go along, as well as the instruction and demos that provide the foundation that she provides.’

From left; Katherine, Rita and Lynne 5.30pm was always Champagne o'clock at Blooms France Oils. When in France... |
Lynne participated in Blooms France learning how to paint Blooms with acrylics
earlier this year, and loved it so much she came back for the Blooms France Oils.
Lynne had previously puddled about painting here and there. She very much enjoys family and being a grandmother. Now she has more time for herself and wanted to focus on her art more. Her first paintings earlier this year with me were very good, and the paintings this last week step into a whole new level of confidence as you can see.
Outstanding and well done Lynne!
Lynne's work in progress. This was Lynne's second painting workshop with me taking her painting to a higher level. She found she loved the oils. |

Lynne's figs required unusual colour combinations and excellent blending skills to achieve this professional finish at Blooms France Oils. |
Lynne shared about her experience;
‘I was impressed you have actually developed a system.
In previous art classes elsewhere they are telling you about the procedure and painting composition etc but not a system to follow which gives you more confidence.
I painted figs this time round because I have them at home. I pick them fresh off the tree usually. So I really connected to creating this painting I’ve created in Blooms France Oils. I enjoy that we get to choose what we want to paint with you. In other art classes the whole class paints the same thing.

Also I have LOVED the fact that everything done was for me, so all I had to do was concentrate on my painting. I’d arrive home from the markets to find the fire was lit, the wine chilled and waiting, followed by a delicious meal served. At home I don’t get to have uninterrupted time. It’s life changing to have this time and distance on your own life and enjoy this environment.’
As the teacher it’s
exciting and rewarding to see students absorbing the Blooms knowledge and in a very
few paintings completely nailing it.
Rita
has worked with me before and we met five years ago. She sadly lost her husband
last year. Coming to France was a great change of scene and a boost of positive
energy which helped Rita to reboot her creativity. She not only produced these
gorgeous paintings, she made great friends on this trip. She shared;
‘Such a different way of teaching…
Encouragement and showing us all in a beautiful guided way…I gained the enthusiasm and confidence to get my paintings started AND finished.’

Rita's Dyptich of roses studied the tonal changes of light to dark and all the colours inhabiting the shadows. |
And
here is a first look at the Blooms France Art Immersion we are currently in,
with students coming from Spain, Switzerland, Canada, the UK and Australia.
There is always lots to talk about over lunches and dinners. The next one is in May 2020 with actual workshop itinerary days May 8-17, 2019 however the opportunity to catch up in Paris a few days earlier to unwind and enjoy Paris highlights before we start painting!
Many of the group had never painted before or never painted form. Today the first paintings emerged which was so exciting!
I took my group to two of my favourite Parisian florists and as usual we were wowed. |
Claudine from Switzerland was thrilled to finish her first painting of a peony, and is already working on painting number 3 at Blooms France. |
Gloria from the UK wanted to learn more painting and is producing some stunning work at Blooms France and enjoying the challenge as well as the whole French experience. |
As well as painting at the Blooms France art immersion we also visit the local markets,
a chateau and dine out. We dine in with our French chef. Living in the quiet rural hamlet of La Foret du Temple is very charming also.
Attending a workshop is great but if you can’t make a workshop then try my proven online 52 weeks of e-classes How to Paint Blooms.

Zinnias create a splash of colour at the markets of La Chatre. Today I taught the ladies how to paint the zinnias with impasto and the palette knife as an impromptu bonus session. |
