Two House Watercolour Landscape | for Beginners | Demo

Nice watercolour. One day, I might be as good,, haha, you never know...

Watercolour number 2

The second in my watercolour venture, I painted this one in Acrylics earlier this year and thought I would now paint it with watercolour. I think I am having a problem with trying to paint watercolour the same as I would do in acrylics.

As you can see, it did not go right from the start, a lot of lifting out and then putting back, not easy in watercolour but, I thing it turned out pretty good considering what this poor paper went through.

I have a lot to learn about this medium, but, loving the journey so far.. 

Watercolour Painting : No title as yet

 After many years of painting in Acrylics, I thought I would make a return to watercolour ! .

As everyone knows, watercolour is about the hardest medium to paint with but I just had to use this fascinating medium again.

Paints I used are the W & N Cotman paints, sure there are many makes that are probably better but Cotman paints are of very good quality with fantastic light fastness meaning they should last for years.

So , hear we are, the one below is one of my first in this new exciting medium . Not title as of now .

So, I think it turned out quite good. Will the next one be as good, hope so but you can never tell.

Just love this painting

 

Cissy & Aida walk in the woods

Very similar to the one below but much looser, Cissy & Aider seem to becoming a bit of a series as they have both been involved in other  painting I have just done.

HAHA, Cissy & Aider,, love it.   

This sort of theme / style looks like it is the first painting style of mine, I really enjoy painting this way.

 Great Fun !

 

 Been away for quite sometime but yes and a big yes I am still painting !!. Must admit I have not sold for a year or so maybe longer but for some reason 0 sales,

I did sell quite a lot on ArtGallery.co.uk but unbeknown to me everything seems to have gone really quiet there, I did add some new paintings there but before they go live they go through what they call assessment and shows as pending, this used to take a day top side so after my work was pending for a few days I gave up on them . I did google this and found many more artists having the same sort of problem.

Also been using Etsy , had a shop there for 2 years but refused to give free postage to the USA from the UK so my listings never show up on any of the painting pages so how the heck am I going to sell! . Well Ebay of all places never fails to get traffic to one's work , Ebay was the first ever place I sold a painting and is OK if you don't expect to make a fortune you can turn out quite a some if you stick at it, I remember after a month or so on Ebay my paypal account looked quite healthy .

Looks like Ebay then ............I will let you know how it goes in a few weeks.

For now and as they said on Blue Peter when I was a lad........here's on I did earlier ..

Don't know where it is I just made it up as I went along

Whit nothing to go on I don't think it turned out to bad.
