Painting is one of my
de-stressing activities.
At the moment it is very much about using watercolour paints and sometimes colouring pencils to colour 7x5 inch prints of an A4 size Masonic Pen & Ink drawing that I recently drew. Using watercolours when I'm out and about is a great opportunity to use my travelling watercolour set. Usually when I'm in town, and a relaxing in a coffee shop.

The Pen & Ink drawing is based on a Masonic First Degree Tracing Board often referred to as a 'Harris' Board. The original oil painting was completed by J. Harris some 200 years ago and was often copied and imitated by later artists. It's not completely accurate (the original Harris Board that is), but with the move from chalk drafts on the floor of a Lodge Temple towards prepared visual representation in black and white and then to colour; the Harris Board and its adaptations frequently used by Freemasons sort of became the 'industry standard', for want of a better phrase.
