Eggs

Easter isn’t all that far away now, which is made more obvious with the retailers colourful displays of chocolate delights on the shelves. I remember as a child painting boiled eggs at this time of the year for Easter.

Rather than painting the actual egg, I decided to paint the eggs on paper. I hope you like my sample here though they are without the Easter trimmings.

Zucchini in watercolour

Zucchinis are growing well in my garden so thought why not paint this very versatile vegetable.

More sunset photos

I haven't had a chance to do any painting the last couple of days to put on my blog.

As the camera is always at my side when walking in the evenings I scored two sunset photos that I would like to share. What attracted me are the interesting shapes that form from the trees silhouette

Little Landscape

This is a view looking east from where I live. The shadows racing across the paddock has often fascinated me, especially when breaking through cloud if the sky is putting on a good show as well.

Once more this painting is a postcard size using watercolour medium.

Pretty as a Flower

This little watercolour painting is about the size of a postcard. Having little experience with this medium I did want to push my limits so that I would learn more about how the layers of colours would work. I don’t mind saying I was way out of my depth with this though reasonably happy with the way the background turned out.

Evening Walk

I had hoped that my next watercolour painting would be finished to post on my blog today. It is a bit more involved this time. If I have no interruptions today I will have it finished and posted tomorrow.

As I am a sucker for sunsets. I wanted to share this image with you that I took last night while out for my evening walk. I think I am very lucky to see the sky here where I live in its many brilliant colours.

Teaspoon using Watercolour

Still trying to get my head around watercolours. I really must be more cautious and save more white of the paper for the highlight and sparkle of objects. It is fun learning and will continue on down the road of gaining new knowledge of handling this medium.
