Boston Spa - 17th April 2010

Thank you to everyone who attended my Acrylic Workshop at Boston Spa on Saturday.
The painting Below is how the painting was when I left you

To complete the painting I reworked the background before adding the overlapping branches & twigs
Further work was done to develop the water surface.
The distant snow was completed.
Finally, the details for the grasses etc. were added.

Please contact me with any queries

Not Long Now!!!

I've just been sent this copy of the cover of my new DVD on painting atmospheric Watercolours

I'll receive the prototype disc in the next couple of days.

I have mixed feelings about that, I'm not really looking forward to seeing & hearing myself, but very excited to have made my first DVD!!

Mickleover Art Club 31st March 2010

Thank you to everyone who attended my Watercolour demonstration on Wednesday.
This is the painting as it was when I left:


The following adjustments were made when I returned to the studio:

• Details were added to the cottages

• The snow in the field was lightened and pale washes of Cobalt Violet added for extra warmth.

• The edges of all the masked areas in the wall were softened with a clear, damp brush.

• Washes of Cobalt Violet, Raw Sienna & Permanent Rose were then added to some of the brighter 'whites'.

• Additional texture was added to the edge of the road & road surface.

The following final details were added:

• The wire fence

• Grasses

• The fence posts were completed

• The snow on the cottage roof was adjusted

This is the completed painting:
