Summer Soup and the Seaside

Earlier this month I had the pleasure of working for the Covent Garden Soup Company as they set up a travelling kitchen on the Aldeburgh sea front.

They were giving away tasters of their summer soup (which I also had the pleasure of tasting) and photographing passes by in their giant deckchair and seaside scene, cut out boards.

Two photographers, (who were the nicest guys and such a pleasure to work alongside) were there taking the photos and then immediately printing them out onto postcards!

So before customers had their photos taken, or while they waited for their photo to print, they could have a face paint with me! I set up alongside the photographers and watched them work their magic. The instant photo postcard was absolutely brilliant and people could also recieve a digital copy of the image by leaving their email address.

Here I am enjoying the summer soup, sweet potato and beans! Guys, soup is for life not just winter!!

It was a fabulous day, there were lots of people around and the sun was shining down on us for the whole day. I would absolutely love to work with this team again, it was one of the most enjoyable days of painting I've ever had.
