I regularly go to a watercolour course on Tuesday afternoons after doing my morning washing up duties at <a href="http://www.28ploughhill.co.uk/content/café" target="_blank">Caistor Arts and Heritage cafe</a>. A trip to <a href="https://www.patchingsartcentre.co.uk/" target="_blank">Patchings</a> an Art event was arranged by Mags the tutor, who not only did all the arrangements but also drove the 12 seater minibus. I had the privileged seat next to the chaffeur as they collected me in Market Rasen.

The variety of art materials, artists, demonstrations and craft displays were amazing. Although I have to admit the first port of call was the cafe..... not only were hopes raised items were purchased until we were spent out.. The day was completed by attending a demonstrarion by <a href="http://annblockley.com/" target="_blank">Ann Bockley</a> of a watercolour landscape well forest scape really. Interesting that she does not have expensive brushes, prefers sable but few of them. A fascinating experience she was so self effacing seemingly nervous but so talented. A real artist having also published several books on the subject.

Mags drove us home all exhausted but well laden with purchases. I only wanted one brush but came back with a well stuffed bag full.
