Trying out some new things, I suddenly decided I wanted to paint cherry trees. The full blossoming kind, you know the ones. And yes, it was a good excuse to use the shimmery pink. But I was quite pleased with myself. It’s a new experience for me being able to recreate in visual format what it is in my head. Drawings are different and dont start with any kind of plan. Painting is now my favourite.

My underwater theme has moved onto coral reefs, although it’s harder than I thought (I didn’t think it would easy), it was very satisfying to paint this. I couldn’t hold back with the metallics though, as you can tell. Even though it is cluttered, reefs seem to be sometimes so in my head it works.

This one turned out a bit different. All I knew is I wanted to try and have a moon. No metallics used on this one which was hard, I really am tempted with all of them to just add a bit of shimmer. But it didn’t need it after all.

I enjoyed doing a seascape with jellyfish, so wanted to do a bigger piece. I feel an underwater theme starting to emerge. With a bit of sparkle of course.

I am still trying to get onto the page what I intend to, and feeling half way through that it’s all gone wrong is a regular occurrence. In the end though, I’m usually quite pleased or just consider it a test piece 😉

It wasn’t meant to be this simple, I usually over complicate things and don’t know when to put the brush down. I may just be getting the hang of it.

I thought I would switch from the sky to the ocean, it started with the idea of a jellyfish…

I wanted to try the silhouetted tree and graveyard scene with different colours – pinky purple went quite well 🙂

I’m completely in love with the metallic watercolours. But trying to find a way to get the best out of them takes time and colour…
Blue and gold
Pink/Purple and gold
Green and Gold
I would like to say I have a favourite, but I like them all!

Trying out different colour skies for silhouettes. Not just for trees it seems.
