$60 - 5x7"painting with 8x10"mat.

I tried some new paper for this one. Cold-Pressed! Very rare for me, since I love hot-pressed watercolour paper. I also bought a few new brushes so playing around with them too. I had a great time painting these two friends. : )

p.s. - just a reminder, all paintings will be shipped when I return, on Aug. 8th. See you in August!

family trip

I woke up bright and early this morning and painted these little guys in the morning sun. I tried to keep it simple. Meanwhile, still practising painting mountains in preparation for my trip. One more week!

Lake Agnes

This is my first mountain painting! I'm practising my lake and mountain paintings, from my photos, before my trip to Banff this summer, so I'm not completely lost when I get there.

Lake Agnes has a beautiful hike around it which ends at a Tea House, can't wait. 

I used the wonderful Holbein watercolour paint called Horizon Blue for the water.  It's an opaque colour, in fact they add white to it, and I absolutely love it!

I thought I'd challenge myself with a completely new subject matter this week. So the title, exploring, has two meanings. ; )

I loved painting this one. The woman on the left was really enjoying sharing her story with her friend, who sat perfectly still, riveted to every word her friend said. 

The people out the window are pencil marks left unpainted, a new approach that I think I'll keep experimenting with.

It's #WorldWatercolorMonth!! 

And it's Canada Day, so this piece is titled "construction dudes" drinking from Canadian flag cups!
