It’s the time when it gets super hot in Florida and of yes, there are sometimes hurricanes too!
It’s too hot to work with resin in the garage so this is a time I usually retreat to “the Cwtch” (my art room) and paint.
Anyway I did an online workshop last week and painted a heron, which I was very pleased with. So much so that I then painted a pelican! I can feel my “feather period” starting lol 😄
I used to be scared of watercolour but after 54 years of life, the basic rules finally seem to be sinking in (like water into a nice cold pressed sheet of watercolour paper!). 😂 I like slapping on acrylic paint but I also really love the delicacy and also the bold shapes and textures you can get with the humble watercolour! It’s also less messy (I hate cleaning up!).
I know the signatures are a little different - but they are both me (I just need to do more practice in painting my signature!) 😄
This year I’m also going to be working on a separate page for my clay jewellery and other clay things I want to try, in addition to this page. I’m not ready yet, but the new page seems to be viewable anyway! (I’m not great at FB tech, so I’m not sure why I can’t make it private just to me while I work on it. 🫣 I guess I need to take some jewellery photos!
