Celebrating the Easter holidays with some lovely watercolour paintings

Easter holidays have arrived and my art classes in Mumbles and Swansea have all been working very hard. This term we have looked at landscape painting in watercolour painting and have picked local areas including the famous view of Mumbles through the trees. (Some artistic licence was taken with the trees as we were experimenting!!) Some lovely examples of all their hard work are below. If you are interested in art classes in Mumbles and Swansea in drawing and watercolour please contact me on 01792 642164 or info@zoejameswilliams.com .

Ava Maya Russian Icons Gala 2016

Delighted to be attending the dress rehearsal for the Ava Maya Ballet Gala in memory of Maya Plisetskaya. An amazing line up of some of the worlds leading ballet dancers. A real treat and so inspiring. Can't wait to start painting. It was great to relax and enjoy the actual performance as well especially seeing the fireworks from the male dancers. Amazing.
