Finished the acrylic pebbles.

So here they are ... finished!
Gosh, still not sure about this medium ... I love the fact that any mistakes can be sorted, but really not sure of the way the medium feels or works!  Won't admit defeat just yet! Lol!

Happy days! x

Got the acrylics out again..

...and painted, guess what?!?!?!

Pebbles of course!

It's still mixed feeling as regards to acrylics... But I'm going to keep going!

Happy days!  Xx

Autumn Acrylics ..

... So, I bought a starter pack of acrylics and this is my first, home grown acrylic painting .. done all by myself!!!!!  Lol!

Still not entirely sure about acrylic paints .. but I do like the depth I can get in the colours!

Happy Days!

Autumn workshop

Another fun watercolour workshop with friends run by the lovely Chris Lockwood ...

I loved doing the wet in wet for the leaves and scoring the veins with the end of a brush!

Happy Days xxxx

Acrylics

Tried a new medium today ~ acrylics! 

Went on a one day workshop with Sue Eddy, we did collage, & learnt how to paint and print and generally mess about with acrylics! A very interesting albeit very messy day!

Really enjoyed it!

Pleased with the results!

Happy Days! Xxx

Aldeburgh Pebbles

Loved doing this little painting... I don't know what it is about pebbles that so entices me, but I love them!  This is only small too (which I also enjoy!) but detailed!

Happy days! Xx

Having fun...

... With my new oil pastels plus masking fluid and paints... Mind you, the heat in the conservatory was melting the pastels but drying the paint quickly!

In a little hidden gem!

A new little shop is in town and they've got my prints in!

On the wall!

Yeah! Finally the bathroom make over is finished and my groyne series is on the wall! Really like the way they look!  Happy days! 

A bit less ...

... detail in this one, thought I'd give it a go ... so many of my paintings are really detailed ... it's hard to do less!

Happy Days!

Slowly, slowly!

This coloured pencil drawing is coming along .. albeit slowly!  I am enjoying it ...

Happy days! xx

Our gorgeous house guest!

We loved having this gorgeous girly staying with us over the Christmas period... She was a real, loving sweetie, bit of a rascal, but so cute!  I really love this pencil drawing of her, I made sure the eyes were right first ..

Happy days!  X

A spot of my old tutor!

Had a bit of a tutorial from my old tutor  .. we did this little scene ... it was to work on distance, mid distance and foreground!

What a hoot!

Happy Days!   xx

Loved this tutorial!

With a lovely lady called Sue Eddy!  Really loved the colours we worked with and her style of painting!
