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

  1. 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.

  2. 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

  6. 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!

  12. 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
