I originally intended this to be a preliminary sketch for a larger piece. But after living with it for a few days I actually like it as is - scrappiness and everything #watercolor #watercolorsketch #watercolorpainting #watercolorcityscape #cityscape

Each morning, @micheleclamp.com gets the “treat mouse” out for the Chroma and Magic puss.
We both sing “🎶 treat mouse, treat mouse! 🎶” to the tune of Street Life with Randy Crawford.
So that’s how that’s all going. 🤣

What I will do to avoid painting - part 37. I have a load of spheres and cubes that I use for painting practice. They've been rolling around in a cardboard box for years. Finally got round to putting them in racks and made some foam cosies to stop them rattling. Very satisfying. #painting

Rachel again today in portrait class. Good to have a second shot at someone. It was touch and go half way through but just about pulled it off. #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorportrait #portraitpainting

Ok. So reviewing yesterday's efforts much more work needed on the old drawing skills. Today - a quick #chromamagic demo on how much you can achieve with only a few colors and shapes and no fancy brushwork. #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorflowers #floralart #art

Tried a watercolor version of last week’s model. A little rusty but not too shabby I think #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorportrait

Fabulous time at Post Road Art Center's portrait class yesterday. So much more enjoyable than photos. Tough though. This was the best of the bunch. #portraitclass #portraits #contecrayon #postroadartcenter #drawing #lifedrawing #lifeclass

Doing all the drawings is making me break free a little in my painting sessions. Here I'm doing a big no-no - painting into the paint when almost dry to leave blossoms and marks. I'm liking the effect. #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorportrait #watercolortechniques

Yesterday was a reference generation day photographing some simple flowers ready for lessons in modelling form. Tried a quick, loose, yellow carnation at the end with only two colors for the bloom. A nice effect I think. #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorflowers #carnationpainting

The final Holbein (that I have). And a fine one to end on - Willima Warham, Archbishop of Canterbury. Nice to draw someone with some miles on the clock. #portraitsketch #mastersketch #sketchcopy

No drawing today but some work on a flower lesson focusing on simplification and form. Slightly overworked as I think through the best way to demo #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorflowers #flowerpainting #watercolorlessons

Frances, Countess of Surrey 1517-1577. Holbein sketch copy. Proportions very hard in this as there's so little form. #mastersketch #portraitsketch #dailysketch

Always wanting to be the center of attention our Magipuss.

Checkout who was larking about like an absolute clown in the background of her studio!
