It quite stunning Diana.

That’s lovely to read. Thanks Denise. Lovely to have some art chat again. Thanks again Linda. You are so encouraging. That’s such a compliment Paul. I’m pleased you like it. I thoroughly enjoyed being back.

Excellent washes great effects. Lovely loose painting.

Thanks Chris I have a good tutor 👍

Wow Diana, this is fantastic! Beautifully painted watercolour.

Lovely watercolour painting love the reflections

So fresh and such crisp, spontaneous brushstrokes Diana that make this such an eye catching painting. Watercolour at its best.

Wow - that is great! I know that Scottish castle rather well and you have captured it superbly.

Beautifully painted, Diana - love the sky!

Great result. Super sky and reflections.

Lovely work, Diana. The interesting grainy natural palette make it very striking.

This is super, Diana. So very atmospheric and full of drama.

Morning Fiona and thanks again for your interest. So good to see everyone again. Thank you Faye. Those dark clouds and reflections were a joy to paint. Thank you Carole. My tutor is vet skilled in the technique you describe. Beautiful when painted with enough confidence to leave alone after applying. Thank you David. Credit to my tutor for the lovely, dramatic reference image

Hello Jenny and thanks again for your interest. Being back at my weekly class brings a touch of normality and routine to my life again. Thank you Colette. I loved painting those beautiful clouds. Thank you Anne. I love the granulation of those greys.

Thank you Mia. Credit to my tutor for the superb reference image. I loved those clouds and reflections

How lovely to be back in class Diana and a superb result! I think we are waiting for September for ours and goodness knows how life will be by then. It must be lovely to be part of a group again with the chat that goes with it.

Thank you Tessa. Not long till September!! Let’s hope all will continue to improve

Superb Diana, lovely palette and perfectly applied.

Thank you Carole. I forgot to take my pairs so worked on a borrowed, limited palette. Something to learn from that!

Lovely Diana

Lovely work Diana. Eilean Donan is such a good subject and this reflects it and the surroundings so well. Smashing.

This is very good - beautiful colours

Super exercise, super painting

This is fabulous. I love your colour choices Diana.

Dramatic, atmospheric and great colour harmony.

Absolutely stunning! I love the colours used

Many thanks Christine. Lovely to have your interest. Morning Jim. I really must visit this castle one day. Thanks for your lovely thoughts. Thank you Ceri. I forgot to take my paints so borrowed a limited selection from someone in class. Thank you Michael. I really should have a mix of papers to be used for different subjects. Thank you Heather. It was a joy to be in an enthusiastic painting environment again.

Thank you Audrey. I was using a very limited palette as forgot to take my paints and used bits from my neighbour. Lesson to be learned there! Thank you Leslie. This really has taught me about the benefit of limiting colour on palette Thank you very much Anne. I am really pleased that the first effort produced something both enjoyable and presentable!

Great watercolour, love your colours and technique.

Absolutely gorgeous

Thank you Edward. I enjoy both loose and tighter painting. I think it depends on the subject Many thanks Romila. It’s one that has taken me by surprise with the positive feedback.

It is lovely, Diana. And that reflection is stunning.

Thank you Katarina It’s good to have your interest and much appreciated your thoughts
