Hare watercolour

I have a new paint box, & I thought it was time to test it out properly. I really enjoyed painting over the last couple of days, although I’ve realised a finer brush would be nice for adding details such as whiskers.

Teasels

Digging around in my craft room/ studio I found a new box of pearl watercolours. Another one of those things I brought while I was teaching & then put away when time run out.

We went for a lovely walk round our local nature reserve, we passed many teasels. We also had a beautiful sunset yesterday too. I was inspired to paint this

Tiger

Continuing with the water colour practice

Chipmunk

I thought I would get my paintbox out, after a long while.

Hare kitchen cupboard door

One of my kitchen cupboard doors had gone all wrinkly, having nothing to loose, I pulled off the offending inner panel, painted it dark grey ( it took several coats) , stencilled these lovely hares in copper, followed up by several layers on Matt varnish.

It’s been returned to the kitchen & it looks fantastic.

Watercolour rose

Rowing boats

This painting has been hanging around on my drawing board for a while, waiting for me to do the boats. It’s my first effort at them , although the third one from the top looks like it’s sinking, now I look at it in the photo. Oh well! Perhaps some flowers next as its getting summer like.  

Woodland reflections

  
Here’s my second watercolour. I attempted some ruins & reflections. Making the reflections was a new technique, dragging a large brush across the paper, I was a little worried but it seems to have worked well. 

A walk in the woods

  
Today has been a painting day.  I’ve had my watercolours out for a change. 

Last weekend, I had one of those bugs that go around & completely drain you. I didn’t realise I hadn’t posted my SAL update until later in the week.
