Watercolours

So the posty delivered all of the Winsor and Newton water colours from the various sellers, and they were all as good as I had anticipated.  I'm well chuffed, but now of course I have to learn how to use them!  With that in mind I trundled off to the Botanical art course that I mentioned in my last Blog post.  It was far better than I had expected, and I can truly say that the university under sold it.  I'm not so sure that 'Botanical 2' will ever be needed, as this initial course is all about tonal work and water colours.  The good point is that there is no pressure.  The lessons are easy going, there's no exam and the dates are well spaced out with significant gaps.  I've even managed to practice at the MIND art class that I attend. I'm not very good, but I certainly feel as if I'm getting better at water colouring. Maybe I shall upload something, if indeed I manage to paint anything worth uploading.
