WOYWW 772 Watercolours and busking crochet

Hi all, don’t these Wednesdays come around fast!Here’s my desk at art class last Thursday. I wish I’d cut the stem shorter on the tulip but too late now. 

Here’s the painting. I was pleased with my vase colour mix. A watery grey made from ultramarine and burnt sienna plus Amazonite from my Daniel Smith confetti cards. 

Pussy willow was tricky to do but I enjoyed it. 
This week we’re painting birds. I hope a kingfisher counts as a garden bird - there are some by the Nailbourne nearby!
I’ve done a drawing to check it’s feasible. He needs to be a bit stockier, I think. 
I’m busking the sleeves for my cardi now. 
I don’t have a pattern so I’m wrapping it round my arm every so often, as I go. I’ve only undone it once. 😄

Bella’s been very busy helping me 😹😹
 

Driving down to Folkestone for lessons is no fun now. Potholes are really bad, but I guess they are everywhere with council budgets cut by central govt and the rainy spring. 

And finally…


Take care, all and happy WOYWW

Your painting is lovely, I just knew the pussy willow would be difficult. It's like fur on an animal, that is difficult to do too.
Crochet is lovely, gorgeous colours. I am going to have a shot at Tunisian crochet - following a short video on FB which I shared. I can't do normal so in for a penny with this one.

I love your painting, the vase is gorgeous as is the pussy willow, that is indeed a tricky plant to paint. I love the photo of the mug, I want one! That test on it is just fabulous! Happy woyww, hug from Holland. Marit #11

You painting is wonderful. I admire your talent! And the crochet is looking so bright and cheery. Not sure which makes me happier, the yarn-y goodness or the fluffy Bella or the funnies! Can't choose. Won't!
Happy WOYWW!

Your funnies are hilarious, especially the password one! Your cardigan is coming along nicely! I love your painting! At first glance, I thought it was the sample that you were using as a guide! Very nicely done!
Have a fabulous week!

Super watercolour. The Pussy Willow inspired me to do some more for fodder too. Love Pussy Willow. Think mine are a bit more arty than realistic though. Your funnies made be giggle this week. Hugs BJ#9
