Don't make the mistake of painting over the table with the background colour like I do in the video!!! I used, Opera pink, alizarin, quinacridone rose and quinacridone magenta, lemon yellow and helio cerulean blue & yellow ochre. but test out your colours first to see what works for you. I did it A5

Due to the heatwave in the uk at the moment, I will have to record tomorrow’s paint along but it will still go live at 7.30 and I will be on the chat for any questions. My painting desk is in the conservatory and even in the evening it’s too hot to sit in. We are doing something a bit different this week. Some glorious tulips. Now you might not have the right shade of pink for these which is ideally opera pink but you can do them in any colours because the principals are the same. We will be layering colour. I do hope you will tune in and join me. I am going to be using the colours in my tiny palette which are mostly Daniel smith so will give me lots of pigment . The pinks are just suggestions for you but it’s not important which colours you use to be honest. The second line drawing is an A5 version which is the size I will be doing.

This evening I will be live if you fancy joining me. I will be painting this pretty lighthouse in watercolour with pen starting at 7.30 . Here is the link https://www.youtube.com/live/eheAnFouCtg?is=3kXUJredg8sPiGiR

I enjoyed that one and thank you for joining me. Let’s see your versions when you have done them

This evening the paint along is similar to last week’s mixing greens but tonight we explore mixing greys, using just 3 colours and how to avoid making mud. Next week we will return to painting a scene. I thought this beach hut would be nice. I have done a line drawing but without the boat and also adding sand dunes. It’s a chance to be creative with a moody sky and you can experiment with colours. I will probably paint it tomorrow night and upload it for next week because I will be in Cornwall. If you want to have a go before hand feel free! .
