Fingal’s Cave
I’ve never been to Fingal’s Cave but it’s definitely on my bucket list. I found a picture and the colours inspired me to do rainbow tints as there were already a lot in the original. I used inks, watercolours and black pen. Continue reading Fingal’s Cave
Fish
This week’s project was as you can see fish or Koi Carp to be exact. This was done in watercolour using the wet on wet technique, salt crystals and cling film to get some wave effect. Continue reading Fish
Guatemalan Art
This week’s art class was painting a subject and stylising it with a native art style. I chose an old glass vase and the patterns from a Guatemalan ornament that my daughter gave me last year. I struggle with still life and this was the second week we had to do it. I did this in watercolour but maybe it would have been easier in acrylic. Either way it wasn’t a subject I found very satisfying. It’s just a demonstration of what can be done. Continue reading Guatemalan Art

View From Rangitoto Island, New Zealand
I loved visiting this beautiful nature reserve called Rantitoto Island just off the coast across from Auckland. I visited my daughter who has now emigrated to New Zealand and this was one placeI wanted to see.

I used watercolour and a touch of Fauvism to create a different effect. Continue reading View From Rangitoto Island, New Zealand
Hunstanton Cliffs 2
The second of two paintings in watercolour of Hunstanton Cliffs this time using a different technique. I used a 10mm angular flat brush to create the rippling effect of the sea. I used the same technique for the cliffs but vertical patterns as well as horizontal. I used yellow ochre, vermillion, dark crimson, violet, ultramarine, dark green, raw umber and yellow. Continue reading Hunstanton Cliffs 2
