Back in March, I stumbled across a free watercolour
tutorial by Anna Mason.
(I think I've shared some of these before....sorry!)
Her Youtube channel "Nature Studio" can be found here
These videos are just a taster of her style and method.
The full tutorials can go for three or four hours.
I am slowly building up a supply of quality paints,
brushes and paper.
They really do make a difference to the experience and
the finished painting.
I want to try this Viola again now that I have some new
tubes of 'professional' paints.
It is a very supportive community.
You can post your pictures and get constructive
feedback on your work!
I'm loving the slow pace and relaxed delivery of
these tutorials so there are more paintings to come.

But I'm still sewing....
I have some slow stitching to share soon!
Happy days,

I so envy crafty people & am looking forward to seeing your progress. Just on catchup after a week away to see some family in N.S.W. Take care & hugs.
I was reading an article about a famous architect this week (he died) and the thing that stood out to me was that in his office of 40+ workers, once a week they would have drawing lessons where anyone could come and learn to draw. He maintained that was critical to their success--that people could share this visual language. And now I see your drawings, and I completely agree. Your naturalist drawings are so lovely (esp the tomato and the pear), so thank you for sharing!
This looks like a lot of fun. And a great way to work with a group of like minded people.
My goodness, but your work is very impressive! I'm in awe. Though I began my "creative life" working in oils and acrylics (I never mastered watercolor), and as a pencil artist, I don't think I ever did anything as good as your simple subjects. They're wonderful! Keep going. You've got the gift!
I wished I could paint & draw but no luck....... Your doing great have fun......
