 Another not so fast or loose, but here you go.

Trying so hard to stay loose with my watercolours but slowly revert back to being a bit tight.

MUST LOOSEN UP !!!

Painting is of the river aire , I think near Bingley in Yorkshire.

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.
