Positive feedback was received after the staff trip to Pokhara. The teachers asked children to pick up rubbish without prompts yesterday and I got an unexpected personal – and much needed – morale booster. Life is good and after a very cold night, dawn has just broken over the beautiful snow capped peaks.
I attempted to paint some watercolours of the mountains a few days ago but discovered my palette hasn’t got Payne’s Grey. Artists…. advice please. (have no black either!)
Alice from SMA has kindly sent me some photos of her pets in England which I will use to demonstrate an English lesson with the older children this week. If some other ex pupils could send ‘A Day in the Life of’ by email too it would be very helpful. ( A bit like Mrs Clive’s Monday morning diary writing sessions of old!) Hopefully I will be able to post results of similar work done here.
Is it watercolour blocks or tubes ? You can mix a nice grey by cooling down a brown with some blue and some white ! As long as you've got some primary colors you might be able to get a nice mix. Just mix little bits first !
