Comments

This is really good Ashley, nicely done.

Lovely Tuscany scene Ashley!

Thank you everyone 😊🫒🖌️

Very good Ashley, can almost feel the heat!

Thank you Stephen, went back to basics with my mixing practice this week and appreciating my love of watercolours

You can sense the Tuscan heat in this painting (and couldn't we be doing with some of it here). The touch of bright blue in the woman's dress helps to hold everything together, a cool spot against the cool grey-browns of the buildings.

Thank you Robert and yes I'm enjoying the dry sunny weather here in Torquay 🌴

Great composition Ashley and wonderful use of watercolour

Captured a sense of place spot on

Excellent work, Ashley - so full of light!

Thank you everyone, very much appreciated. Have a great day. Lots more on Instagram if you're really bored 😁

Really love your shadow areas and palette choices, Ashley

Thank you Thalia, I've been playing with some colours for a few days as I'm heading out to Tuscany to teach in May for 2 weeks, a brand new adventure for me with 6 weeks in total in Puglia and Tuscany

Outstanding piece Ashley, your choice of pallet is really go especially in the shadows.

Thank you Paul, just experimenting still

Thank you Romila 😁
