Just a quickie! I made a youtube vid of how to make your own gummed watercolour pads using loose sheets bought online for a fraction of the cost. The advantage being you then don't need to stretch the paper.

Pepper said… - Hello, Barbara,
I lived in a village north and east of Hull. I loved my year there and made some very nice friends. Fortunately, we have been able to visit back and forth. Wish I was painting when I lived there as I had a lot of time on my hands. Now I wonder why it never crossed my mind. There are so many beautiful places to paint.

And I believe Nan and Pop would be very proud of your work
Mansi,
I like this, the woman has "Attitude" by the bucket load. Does it reflect real live??
H
I perhaps would not label this "contemporary". Rather, it harkens back to very old Japanese stylistic painting. Its beautiful, but .....
Jo,
I have just tried boats and reflections... Nightmare! These look much better!

Malcolm,
This is really good . I really like this series... however I believe the police may develop an intrest in your Acer... or is that where the insperation for the colours stems from!!
