I have a playful week having fun with watercolours! I follow some process instructions from the book 'Capturing Light' by Caroline Beale. I also flip through Experimental Flowers and Experimental Landscapes in watercolour, and Poetic Woods by Ann Blockley. I also begin a new mixed media painting with an abstract background.

Hi Folks! This week I do various art tasks like sorting my paintbrushes, finishing, signing, varnishing and framing some paintings; and I begin a magical May mixed media painting inspired by one of my favourite childhood books. I also style some photos for spring interiors inspiration; and I take you outside my studio for some decluttering and sorting of our old farmhouse kitchen storage.
