Using green in watercolour – assignment 2 continued First up this week is a quick continuation of where I left off last week! If you recall, I’d made two attempts at the ‘using green in watercolour’ homework I’d been set but was keen to see if I could improve on both of them with a …
My journey into green with Paul Talbot Greaves continues with the second of our five assignments. The focus of this assignment is tube greens or basically pre-mixed greens. Ahead of the course starting Paul indicated the colours that we’d be using on this course and, for the tube greens, they were Winsor and Newton Sap …
Unfinished business At the end of last week’s post, after having made two attempts at the homework I’d been set on Paul Talbot-Greaves’ course ‘using green in watercolour’, I was deliberating a third effort. I had in mind some changes that I’d like to try to achieve, which I hoped might improve on the efforts …

Well it’s been just over a week or so since my window display went up at Starling Studios, and I’m delighted to report that I’ve already made one sale: Over the years, I’ve become quite adept at ‘letting go’ of a painting – there are, however, some paintings that I still find it difficult to …
Last Saturday saw the inaugural meeting of the Brighton Painting Group and I was delighted to be in attendance! The premise is simple. It’s an totally free untutored group that will meet every second Saturday of the month and welcomes artists working in any medium and of any level of experience. The rendezvous point for …
I really have no idea where the time’s going at the moment so I hope you’ll forgive me if I dive straight in with this week’s watercolour painting: This was an odd one in so many ways! I painted it in a bit of a hurry and I ended up painting different parts of it …
