When do you paint?
I have always found it difficult to find time to paint so the weekly live is great as it keeps me painting weekly. How often do you paint and do you have a regular time/day?

I’ve had a busy week and I always seem to put art last after all the routine stuff! I’ve done one pastel of a vase of tulips, trying to be looser but I dislike it at the moment!!

@Amanda Harvey I’m very impressed !
Wednesday Watercolour
I hope you can join me tomorrow for the next paint along. This one will be back to doing it live. I have painted this topic two times and I have learnt from both of them so come and join me and see if we can create something better together. This is the link to the live Sunlit Woodland at 7.30 pm GMT. Link is also in the calendar. The reference can be found here in my google album where you can also see the topics coming up.

@Julie Ford I can imagine, I had missed the first few minutes so I didn’t get a chance to say hello as I was scuttling around getting things that I’d forgotten - like a pot of water!!
Hello again
Apologies for not being around this week. My tech challenges have resulted in me buying a brand spanking new laptop. I just couldn't edit and upload anything. Who knew Youtube could take over 24 hours to process a video! Tomorrow's live has been recorded in order to avoid all of the tech gremlins. It will go live at 7.30 pm so I will be available in the chat to answer any questions. It's only about 35 minutes long but enjoyable to do. I hope to chat to some of you then. This link will take you there. Hope to see you. Please give it a thumbs up if you enjoy it. https://youtu.be/ka5qzngHQas . I painted it in A4. Next week we are going to move on to woodland and water. 😁

Hi Julie, sorry I missed it, will it be uploaded to catch up with on YouTube? Thanks
New Paint along
I have added a new class which is a paint along, similar to what we have been doing on the lives. It is a landscape of Hawkshead Hill in Cumbria. You can find it in the paint along classroom

Is it the wrong picture though?
Wednesday's paint along on Youtube
I hope yu can join me this week. Find the colours and line drawing here. I recommend you draw it out first and mask out the boats and their reflections and the posts. Give yourself enough time for it to dry fully before we start. I also have a white gel pen and white gouache on hand. See you Wednesday! Any questions just ask

Went back and took off the masking fluid and added details, I’m pleased with the improvement from week 1 !
