I started experimenting with watercolour painting about six years ago.  Essentially, I started 'from scratch' - working on the basic techniques of washes, colour-mixing and colour application e.g. wet-on-wet.  I became particularly interested in combining techniques of watercolour and ink. During the various lockdowns of the covid pandemic, I tried some architectural and still-life pieces having completed some online courses. More recently, I have attended some residential and local courses - finding it so useful to learn from fellow, developing artists as from course tutors.

​

The work I have submitted - Anenomes -  arose from a course I attended last summer - led by the artist Jackie Devereux.  I wanted the piece to have a 'work in progress' feel - hence leaving some flower heads as un-coloured drawings.  It is by no means a sophisticated piece of work!  Rather, it illustrates my current stage of development.
