Not rubbish! I think it has a pleasing look - I can't quite think of the right word, but it makes me feel happy and safe. It reminds me a little of pictures that I have seen in books a long time ago. Listen at my waffle lol lol

I tried to make it a bit bold, watercolour is a beautiful medium but sometimes looks a bit wishy washy colour wise.
I actually love your description Trewsers, it certainly was my safe place over last summer.
You should see them now after weeks in the garden..... couldn’t be less elegant! They seem to have acquired a permanent layer of grime under them.

More coursework, all in watercolour, for the last two we were given a room with a view of the harbour as a guide, the second we got the room and had to decide on our own view outside, we could choose time of day etc, my tutor was totally chuffed I’d done a moonlit scene, the first of his students to do so.
It does a bit doesn’t it, the object of this exercise was to teach us that things appear paler in the distance. Also to teach colour washes and to see how we handled those.
Yes yes it does doesn't it! I know what you mean with that, I had another look just now.
I have enjoyed looking through these, you are very talented.
These are experimental, I was trying to be ‘looser’ which I struggle with but enjoyed playing with the paint so much, must get back to working on more like this. They were a lot of fun to do.
Sea scape (abstract) playing around with acrylics.
My absolute favourite watercolour to date, this was part of my coursewor, we were asked to paint a piece as detailed as we could in watercolou, my tutors feedback was ‘ I have to say that this is probably one of the very best detailed watercolours I have ever seen, really well done, it’s stunning’
This one was inspired by a photo that out own @horseandgoatmom posted and was used as coursework for my ‘loose’ style piece.
Thank you Jane, those looser botanicals were so much fun to paint, I’ve actually forgotten how I did them now
I’m really enjoying my college work but I can wait to finish so I can get back to just playing with different techniques and styles.
This one I made for my best friend as a Xmas present, she loved it thankfully.
