The painting group, Class ACT (that is a group of friends that I met thru painting class) regularly get together to paint. We have had some great weekends away. On these weekends we spend lots of time painting, sketching, exploring techniques and also laughing, eating well and talking.
Earlier in the year we went to the Mornington Peninsula, to Sorrento. It is such a great place to paint especially if you like painting seascapes. one side of the peninsula is rough, surf, rocks and cliffs. The other is little coves with fishing boats, jetties, kids playing in the sand and quieter water. The streetscape of the village-like town of Sorrento is also great to paint - and eat lunch or sip on cappuccinos!
The painting I have posted today is of the Continental Hotel, which sits up on the hill as you round the bend into the main street of Sorrento. I sat in a lovely green patch of the pathway that links the shops and the foreshore beach. From there the view of the hotel is wonderful. I hope you enjoy the painting.
