Eleanor is just back from a wonderful travelling workshop in Airlie village hall near Kirriemuir where Oil painting was the name of the game! What wonderful work, and the best bit, according to Eleanor, was you could hear a pin drop the concentration was so good! Lovely little still-life table tops with intense patten and flowers inspired us all, even Eleanor managed to sit in a corner and paint! Have a look at what the group got up to....(More images on our Facebook page)

What an exhibition week!
Record numbers of visitors passed through the door of an Talla Solais and there were some extremely complimentary comments left in the visitors book. Visitors were genuinely interested and amazed at the breadth and volume of work developed over such a relatively short period of time.
"Wow! So much talent on display after such a short course. Congratulations to all"
"A well constructed and diverse show - excellent work"
"What a wonderful display of skill and talent. Amazing what has been achieved in such a short space of time and with such inspirational results. Well done all!"
The pop-up portrait studio was an inspired addition with Morven adding loads of additional portraits to her portfolio and the pop-up cafe was a huge success and gave the exhibition an entirely different feel with the gorgeous smells wafting through the rooms. There are plans for a continued yummy relationship for future projects.
But now the students have all said their farewells and the studios are empty :( There were lots of hugs, tears and promises of keeping in touch. Portfolios have been taken away, bulging at the seams with wonderful drawings and works that will take the college applicants onto the next stage of their artistic careers and those on a personal development journey, are ready to launch into their self directed routes.
Looking ahead, there are still places available for the next intake of portfolio course students. If you'd like any information please do get in touch or follow the links from the Bridge House Art website http://www.bridgehouseart.co.uk/p/portfolio-course.html
In case you didn't manage to see the exhibition, here are a few images of what you missed!
