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 paint every day, early in the morning. I get up early to paint while the house is quiet. If I miss my morning painting time, I can usually squeeze in a few moments in the evening.
Welcome

@Liz Fremont Hi! Welcome to the group!
Calm & Easy Paint Along Dittisham Boat
The recording of last night's live is now on Youtube. Top Tips: I would suggest that you mask out the boat and houses and give it time to dry before starting. Give yourself more space for the trees on the left Give yourself a larger colour selection than originally suggested e,g, ultramarine , burnt umber to get the very dark tree areas. Swap the yellow ochre for a cadmium yellow. Yellow ochre doesn't blend well. Add a turquoise if you have one, Mix your tree colours for the background a little softer, e.g. make them more blue/grey so they look further away. Do share what you create, I love seeing them

@Julie Ford You only started painting 4 years ago? I would have thought you'd been painting for years and years...your pictures are so lovely. You're very talented.

I'm a retired teacher. I always promised myself I would learn to paint when I had more time in my life. That time is now! It's a joy to be here.
