Hello everyone,
My name is Rob and I'm a very amateur watercolorist. I live in Hereford and having been trying to paint on and off since 2007.
The last year has given me focus to concentrate on my medium and take it Plein Air as well.
Looking forward to being more creative from here on in and enjoying painting for what it is.
Rob.

Welcome Rob, plenty of good subject matter in Hereford!
I’m predominantly an oil painter, with the occasional small series of watercolours which I enjoy also.
You may find The Artist and Leisure Painter magazines helpful, two separate mags from the same stable as this website.
Shout up if you need any critique or help with anything painterly!
Post here on the forum for critique generally, and on the gallery for comments etc…

Many thanks all for your warm welcome. Alan, I resubscribed to both magazines in 2019 after a few years away and so glad I did as I find them both invaluable. I really like the Artist as the aspirational magazine where as I use LP for my learning curve.
Robert, you are so right about palettes and how they develop with better knowledge and experimentation. Mine has evolved quite bit in the last couple of years moving away from the standard Cadmiums, Cobalts and earth tones to my current incarnation.
I am really excited about gaining more experience and interacting with so many inspirational artists that I see on here.

That’s great Rob, there’s a lot of useful practical information in both magazines.
I’m a regular contributor/feature writer for The Artist, I believe I have a feature in the
January 2022 issue, How to create a visually strong painting by focusing on the tonal values (in oils)
My copy is late arriving so I haven’t seen it yet.
