More super sketches, drawings and paintings over past two days! It’s great to see our numbers swelling too! Quite preoccupied with my upcoming move back to UK but not moving furniture etc thank goodness as will be back for holidays once we have a grip on Covid, so art taken a back seat! Anyway I have just spent a wee while with a pen and watercolour!
All your sketches are really great. I passed an old farm house today and I wished I had a pencil and some paper. Not to sketch the whole thing, just to pick up on some of the interesting brick work. I think I will keep a sketch pad in the car from now on just in case.

Everyone has been busy with a lot of very good sketches. Gillian, I hope your move goes well. At the moment I’m struggling to find the time to sketch. Finding it really refreshing being able to catch up every few days and see such diverse pieces of work. I’m sure things will settle down soon and I’ll get back on that wagon.
Hi everyone, glad to see this is still going and there have been some great additions in my time away. Here is  tiger I was sketching.
Welcome Alan love tigers.  Here’s my finished Ink & wash for my art class.  We were encouraged to use the ink for all areas of shading, personally I think its a bit overdone but it was good practice to control the strength of the washes.
Lovely flowers Gillian, hope your moves goes well, always a stressful time. Hilary, your ink sketch looks very accomplished with lots of detail, good one! And a lovely tiger sketch Alan. Nothing from me today.
Welcome back Alan, good to see you posting again with your lovely tiger, such wonderful animals. Hilary, that’s super work from your class. Also some lovely vibrant work on the previous page but I don’t want to scroll back and lose this!
Thank you Tessa, good to be back. lovey ink work Hilary
Pear and apple from me. x
Hi, I'm new to the forum.  My name is Judith and I love working with watercolour even on those days when you know the paint is not in sync with your hand and brush!  I have been attending classes in Auckland NZ for the past four years, once a week throughout term time and the vibe in the classroom with our excellent tutor is always great.  I'm taking a break this term so the painters-online site piqued my interest as way to stay in touch with other painters while I'm away from the actual classes.  Landscapes and figurative works seem to be my favourites and at the moment I am attempting a street scene taken while on holiday in Naples a few years ago.  It's a little tricky but think I'll probably have to make several stabs at it before I am close to getting the buildings right etc.  The attached painting is one I did from a tiny photo in my granny's album - somewhere I think in Wales during WW1 and probably taken by my grandfather when on leave. Cheers Judith
