Hands

Students works this Thusday morning was all about sketching !
Lines, shadow, light, movement, balance and shading were all working together to depict the strength, the position, intensity and detail. 

The artist Jocelyn Maughan and her style was key to today's class.
from the book named Genre - The significance of the insignificant 

On the other hand, some ladies were working on - 
Progression And Process 

Omayma's sister "Samia "

This early morning, the smell of freshly baked sable and cookies and... greet me as I enter the workshop. Taste buds are on alert !
Samia known as Sue, in the family, is Omayma's only sister.
Sue runs and owns Sable & Co here in Beirut, Lebanon.
            At The main Branch of  Sable & Co, Sue's smile is the first thing you encounter!  
A little bakery who specializes in sable and all yummi bites for any afternoon Tea !
Not only does Sue make delicious deserts, also has created Tea- Cosies, Cake covers and other items that can decorate your table.
I wont express in words, however I shall express in photos ! check them out !
