I work part-time for a national charity, teaching art to adults. I love it, it brings me such joy. One of the techniques I use occasionally in my painting class is copying great paintings, encouraging my students to understand how the great artists worked and how they achieved their effects. This latest one (it’s my demonstration copy) is by the French Impressionist Claude Monet.
I started painting these “fakes” during the first Covid19 lockdown, following the painter Ed Sumner on Facebook who kept up a weekly painting tutorial, The Cheese and Wine Painting Club, for almost two years to raise people’s spirits as well as give us something really interesting and fun to do.

What fun. It’s so lovely.
It’s a great job
