The art course starts tomorrow and is spread over four very well gapped days with the last day due to take place on the 18th June. I like the course brief; "ideal course for those wishing to . . . develop their fine art skills'. Yep it's about botany, but it's also primarily about art. Another course aptly titled: 'Botanical illustration 2', seems to be about watercolouring techniques and tonal modelling. So that's going to be one for the future, especially given my recent spends on Winsor and Newton Professional Watercolours. Plus of course I'm really excited, not because of tomorrow's course, but because I'm sat here with a coffee waiting for Mr Postman, who happens to be carrying several hundred pounds worth of water colour paints that I ordered online from three sellers for the bargain basement price of £40
Oh happy days. Now, back to that pen and ink drawing. . .
