Wednesday 1st February! Wet wet wet! Where is the sun to help with some good colours and tones? Never mind – table top beckons… I have three watercolour table tops on the go. Today I wanted to put more, deeper, and some brighter washes with wax resist on to them. It took longer than expected
More table watercolour and Donkey Cart afternoon. A positively balmy day to work – mild enough to go hatless indoors! Yes that’s right! That warm!! (Last week required thermals, trousers and overalls, with 5 layers on top!) – and a hat at all times – and a scarf. Indoors and out! Early washes on a table
Table top watercolour. Start of the day Tuesday 31st January. Thinking about the writing table top. Beginning again with colour mixing, wet in wet, dry brushes, mark making with tools to show the marks! and looking at darkest and lightest tones on the surface in my sketchbook prior to a larger piece. I could do
An overnight trip to Bath to visit child No1. and here’s one of the products, in ink. Seduced by the London Plane trees in The Circus and the bright sunny day.

The Well, Friday 27th February. A shorter working day today with the first review in the morning and Songs of Praise filming in the afternoon. The light went very quickly too – on what was a rather gloomy end of afternoon. I had painted outdoors initially as we had had a bit of brightness following
Had a fun morning filming my HMS Daedalus panoramic painting and exhibition of local places with Solent News – and it will be on TV this evening!!! Many thanks to all involved!
One of the dogs this evening – soft pencil.

So here I am – hot and sweaty after my first day taking part in Pintar Rapido last summer. I’ve just bought my ticket for this year’s competition. See you there too?
