WINTER COTTAGE

Here's another watercolour. I feel bad about not keeping with the oils, but at least I'm doing something to keep me going :-)

SLIPPERY SLOPE



Sorry, but I tried and tried to carry on with the oils, but I just can't seem to get any satisfaction or success with it right now. So rather than stop painting, I've jumped back to watercolours to see if I can keep my brushes wet at least! This is a copy of a much bigger version I did a while ago. I sold it for £150 in an exhibition.

#15 of 86



Did this one at the art-club on Friday. I didn't have anything to paint, so I copied an image that the guy next to me was painting. He did his with a palette knife and it was brilliant. Mine's errrrr... not. LOL

Our Own Art-Club!

Each Friday we go to the local Art-Club in Horwich. It's a thriving club with a broad range of people of all ages and skill-levels. Apart from the regular painting sessions, we have many professional artists visiting us to demonstrate their skills and to run workshops.

But sometimes, it's nice when just a few friends get together mid-week too, and so here we are in Simon's "studio", benefitting from the skill and experience of his father, Brian Waddington. It looks a bit cramped in there, but we were just huddled together to fit in the photo frame :-)



And you can drink beer in this club! :-)
