Watercolour | 6 x 11 inches   About the painting:“Last January/February time I had a terrible painters block. Having had very little inspiration to paint (and what I did paint was awful!) one afternoon, after another frustrating day, I took a photo of my dog Beau. She was backlit by a cool light from the […]

Watercolour | 6 x 11 inches   About the painting:“It was extremely difficult to capture the transition of colour in the sky of this painting, especially the glow of light around the sun. I layered the sky with around half a dozen glazes of transparent colour to achieve this. It was all about getting the

Watercolour | 9 x 7 inches   About the painting:“I struggled to capture this scene in oil, the soft transitions of colour were much better suited to watercolour or pastel. I always get excited driving past the duck ponds at Salthouse on the North Norfolk Coast, the November light was nice and soft, and I

Watercolour | 7 x 8 inches   About the painting:“I can’t remember a calmer and more beautiful evening. The early evening air was warm, and the waves lapped lazily onto Summers Beach.

Watercolour | 6 x 9 inches   About the painting:“After completing a similar subject in oil paint, I tried it out in watercolour and the result was much more impressive and slightly easier to achieve. I quite like the landscape format paying particular attention in trying to capture that beautiful glow from the moon and

Watercolour | 6 x 8 inches   About the painting:“I liked the relative simplicity of this subject, with the strong forms and harmonious colour palette. We walked past these sheep every morning the previous winter and was confident about putting together the right composition to do them justice. I am inspired by surroundings and where

Watercolour | 8 x 6 inches   About the painting:“I like painting these little cameos of boats and headlands, it’s something I haven’t painted for a few years, and was difficult to get the iridescent light right on the water. I do like the colours in this painting very much … the blue of the

Watercolour | 5 x 9 inches About the painting:“I continued with my watercolours when returning home from the trip to Cornwall. The scenery on the St Just in Roseland Peninsula is ideal to be captured in watercolour. In the background of this scene is Falmouth, the white and pink fronted houses just disappeared into nothingness
