Petite Ballerina

This pretty little ballerina from Mozambique was painted from a reference picture kindly supplied by Jessica http://emocherie.deviantart.com/ Painted on W H Smith watercolour paper which I have never used before, it performed very well and was comparible to Bockingford. St Petersburg and Shin Han artists watercolours. Shin Han Ultramarine and Raw Umber tend granulate which can look quite good in certain applications

Monday Character Drawing Group

Every other Monday we meet to draw from life. Always a different model. I'm fairly new to the group about a year or possibly a little longer. This is my effort for last Monday best described as a pencil drawing with watercolour washes the blouse was added later as I did not have any masking fluid with me. Paper is Bockingford and colours used are cadmium red yellow ochre ultramarine burnt umber and cerulean blue. The drawing was done in about 2 hours with breaks for the model.

Very first post

Watercolour is my preferred medium , however I hope to venture into other mediums. When I have worked out how to post images I will post some of my recent work
