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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-vl0PkdZys

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.

I perhaps would not label this "contemporary". Rather, it harkens back to very old Japanese stylistic painting. Its beautiful, but .....
