I can’t tell you how excited I was to be<\/span> painting lotus leaves in Bangkok!<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
Yes, moi who looks <\/span>enviously at all my arty friends <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
with a ‘I wish I could paint!’ longing, <\/span><\/span>
has found my inner creative!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
With a little help from my new found friends at Himapan Gallery<\/span><\/span>
here I am about to ‘show and tell’ <\/i>with you my latest artwork, <\/span><\/span>
and anyone can do this!<\/span><\/span>

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

Let’s backtrack just a little.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
I’m in Bangkok,<\/span><\/span> my husband is busy with work <\/span><\/span>
morning, noon and night. <\/span>
So having visited Bangkok many times,<\/span><\/div>\n
I was looking for something different to fill my days.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
A quick internet search and I found the Himapan Gallery.<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Who are doing a roaring trade to mostly expats<\/span><\/span>
 with lotus leaf painting workshops.<\/span><\/span>

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

The lotus leaves were an almost perfect match for what I needed at home.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
I’d had had an interior decorator <\/span><\/span>suggest that <\/span><\/div>\n
I bring the garden indoors by throwing open the bi-fold doors <\/span>
and adding <\/span>some garden style artwork to the interior,<\/span><\/div>\n
 even suggesting a palm tree, or the like on the wall<\/span>. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Which is a lovely idea <\/span><\/span>
except that I don’t live in tropical north Queensland,<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
 I live in Melbourne, Australia. <\/span><\/span>

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
A palm tree is about as common here as a banana plant!<\/span><\/span>

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
But, as frequent visitors to this blog will know,<\/span><\/span>
 I do have a pond with a water lily that blooms,<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
and although a water lotus and water lily are different <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

it’s <\/span><\/span>same, same but different! <\/span>

<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
When I arrive at the gallery instructions are in full swing.<\/span><\/div>\n
I join a group of lovely Japanese women to learn the techniques.<\/span><\/div>\n
We are given the choice of using oil or acrylic paints.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Our class is taught by the wonderful owner Catherine<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
who shows us what to do.<\/span><\/span>
It all looks pretty straightforward<\/span><\/span>
paint or sponge on the colour, <\/span>
highlight with bronze, gold, silver as you like,<\/span>
varnish <\/span>
and after a few days <\/span>your painting is ready to take home.<\/span><\/div>\n


<\/span>I choose to work with acrylic paint because it’s quick drying <\/span>
and I<\/span> only have five days in Bangkok.<\/span>

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

I did think about oils <\/span>
especially after my ears prick up as Catherine tells us<\/span><\/p>\n
“and if you make a little mistake, <\/i><\/b><\/span><\/span>
I give you a little alcohol”<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
her perfect English has just a hint of her French accent.<\/span>

<\/span>They have truly thought of everything here<\/span>
I love the way they will correct any errors…<\/span>

<\/span>I’m brought back to earth with a <\/span>
‘Can I get you a tea or coffee?’<\/span>
Her husband Teck asks?<\/span>

<\/span>I was thinking of ordering a Mojito<\/span>
to get my Mojo going…<\/span>
but then realise the alcohol is only for mistakes <\/span>
and not to be consumed…<\/span>
Silly me.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I am then given a choice of two designs<\/span><\/div>\n
I choose the one from the muddy pond<\/span><\/div>\n
which has some interesting staining<\/span><\/div>\n
and could have so come from my pond life back home<\/span>
although thankfully not, these leaves are humungous.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
My three boards cost me 8,000 Baht ($250 USD, $310AUD)<\/span><\/div>\n
which includes all the paint, tuition, varnish, and boxing for transport.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
I have also brought with me one of my outdoor cushions<\/span><\/div>\n
for colour inspiration but I am pretty much going for <\/span><\/div>\n
green, green and more green…<\/span><\/div>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

And so I get started.<\/span>
It’s pretty simple really. <\/span>
You paint the colour on with either a sponge <\/span>
or a paint brush, one leaf at a time following the veins.<\/span>
The hardest part is working out what colours you want to use,<\/span>
or in my case trying to mix the right green to match the cushion.<\/span>
Luckily Catherine is always on hand when help is needed.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n


<\/span>The painting is pretty easy and relaxing and the<\/span>
conversations are free flowing around the room.<\/span>
Teck is offering more coffee or tea.<\/span>
Everyone admires each others work.<\/span>
This is my sort of painting morning.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

I get as far as I can <\/span>
and decide to come back the following day to finish off.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is what the painting looked like at the end of day one:<\/span>

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n


<\/span>The next day I add some bronze highlights to my veins <\/span>
which are lightly brushed on with the corner of a sponge <\/span>
and I add<\/span> a touch of definition <\/span>around the edges of my<\/span> leaf edges.<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/a>

<\/span><\/div>\n

It is starting to rain outside, when Bangkok rains it pours.<\/span>
If you want to see what happened after this class see here!<\/a><\/span>
but all attention is on our artwork.<\/span>
The second day there are a new and equally lovely <\/span>
group of ladies and one gent.<\/span>

<\/span>Here is my finished version with one coating of varnish<\/span>
and Voila it’s done!<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n


<\/span>I leave the second coat of varnish to Catherine <\/span>
who will let it dry and package it for the airport <\/span>
and deliver it to my hotel on Friday<\/span>
I can’t wait to see <\/span>
what it looks like up on my wall!<\/span><\/p>\n
