Once again, weve had two full classes. In fact, the class was almost full at 8:45am, when we turned up to the Amalfi to set up, with everyone already sat at the tables, waiting. By 9am, all available places had been taken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One thing I find slightly disconcerting is when some folks have laid down their first washes long before Ive even started to introduce the subject. This was followed by about half a dozen of the same folks packing up and leaving early because they want to get to the craft class early. The knock-on effect of this is what feels like a slightly disjointed lesson\u2026 I may have to insist that no-one puts paper until I give them the word to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside this, I felt that not everyone connected with the subject – which today was Line and Wash – quite as well as I would have liked, although I have to shoulder the blame for that. In contrast, the afternoon class went far more smoothly. No-one started painting prematurely, or left early in this group, and I felt that they enjoyed it, and connected with it, far more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the evening, we Went to watch ‘The Studio’, the first musical performance of the newly-installed show team, then took a walk around the deck, where we joined many other passengers, gawping at the non-setting sun on a smooth sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At midnight, I took this photograph\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
