Seaton Sluice.
The House on the hill,
15x 22"
Arches waterolour paper, M.Grahams watercolours.
I painted this scene in watercolours. I have been experimenting alot lately with different mediums, but no matter how much I enjoy working in other mediums, or how much I like the resulting paintings, I always go back to watercolours.
I enjoyed painting this because I love this place, the views are fabulous from all angles, but also because this place has some very happy memories ....of times spent with my family, going for meals to celebrate birthdays etc. Times filled with lots of fun and laughter, well appart from the time we went when the girls were younger, were they moaned and cried and argued etc from the minute we walked in............but I choose to forget that particular occassion from now on.
Frilly lillies.
15 x11"
Artistico paper,
M.Grahams watercolours.
I enjoyed every minute of painting this picture, and I have to say, it`s one of my favourite flower paintings that I`ve ever done. This photo doesn`t do it justice, the colours are much brighter and more vibrant IRL............but you get the idea.
Old Mill at Jesmond Dene.
15x11"
Acrylic paints.
guessoed watercolour paper.
I have to say, acrylics are my least favourite medium to work in, but I`ve challenged myself to keep experimenting.
I kind of enjoyed painting this...........although there were times when I wanted to rip it up and bin it. I`m glad I stuck with it though.....if only to remind myself why I love watercolours so much......lol.
I will continue to practice and experiment, and I will continue to post the results.
I have got a few more paintings to post from the last couple of weeks, so I will photograph them and post the during the week. There are some pastel on velour paper, which is completely different for me.Watch this space for more info on that.
