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.
ReplyDeleteCrochet 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
ReplyDeleteYour cartoons made me SMILE BIG ! Especially that cup !! I was amazed at your painting. It looks so real...BEAUTIFUL I actually thought it was from a garden! Enjoy your next session on the birds. Have a great week.

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!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW!

ReplyDeleteYour 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!

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
