As there are a number of artists among our midst, I thought I would start a topic for watercolour painting.

Here is another of my art pieces produced in Jeremy Fords workshop. taken from an original by him. It is only fair to credit him with both original ideas and his excellent teaching

Actually this is a photograph of the framed piece rather than scanned. I think it has come out quite well with little or no flash showing

I forgot to mention the colours I used in the wintry scene. They were Paynes grey and raw umber, although any really dark brown will work

Blok good luck with the paper...another tricky area of water colour I find...best tip I was given was to wet the board and the paper as they then adhere well to each other...but only works for quick wet on wet works...and if your board is not solid wood be careful or you may get a soggy mess on your hands.

I learnt the soggy mess problem by first hand experience. Apart from my proper stretching board, I usuallu use two vanrished pieces of plywood, that Bob made me. I prefer to stick the paper on with a good quality masking tape as the recommended brown gummed tape doesn't come off very easily

Flutters, the paper I used was recommended to me as a good paper to start with. I git it from the SAA. It was Bockingford NOT 300gsm . I like the texture and in general I have stayed with it

If i could afford it i would go for the blocks that you don't have to stretch...I wonder if there is a way to make a cheap alternative?

Now I've been too clever for my own good, tried that short cut we talked about sue, and this is the result! One for you Tom, and Blok just to say I think pastels really come into their own when life drawing.
(Can anyone turn the little red cross into a pic, please!?)
