Students had a blast getting their fingers dusty in the plein air workshop!
Pastel Workshop- ReidsArt Studio
Portrait Workshop- ReidsArt Studio
Everyone had a great time and learned a lot at the portrait workshop! Special thanks to Sonja Fourie for modeling. I had fun preparing meals to help everyone stay refueled. We even broke out some nonalcoholic peach champagne for the final burst of energy at the end of the day! Photos of two of the students below. – Kim

Chris painted with other members of the Country Sketchers (a local plein air group) at the beautiful Creation Winery.
Wynberg Plein Air Outing
Chris “getting his Monet on” at Maynardville Park in Wynberg with Inge Semple’s plein air group. He found a nice shady spot under a tree from which to paint this lily pond.
2nd Place CAS Competition
Constantiaberg Art Society held their annual Founder’s Trophy Competition November 28th 2017 at the Alphen Centre in Constantiaberg. The event pairs a end-of-year social gathering with a “Best Painting” competition. Members bring food and vote for their favorite paintings. Members can enter one painting in any media. There were around 35 entries this year and many more artists present to vote.
Artist Christopher Reid took 2nd place for his pastel painting, “Protea Explosion”. Canvases and art supply gift certificates were awarded to the winners.
