Anemones

Three very accomplished paintings. I believe you teach, so that may account for your expertise. I love the bright colours you use and the vibrancy of your work.

Beautiful vibrant flowers.

fabulous. 3 great paintings.

Superb paintings Doranne! Never heard of those watercolours and they look really interesting.

Thank you Thea, Lorraine, Dawn and Satu for you lovely feedback - much appreciated. Yes I am an art teacher too and have been teaching for the last 15 years. I have also been actively working as an artist and graphic designer for over 30 years when I finished art school in 1982. I give art workshops and do painting holidays on the Islands of Gozo and Malta where I current live if you are interested you can drop me an email on [email protected] for more info. You can also visit my site to see more of my work on http://doralden.wix.com/doranne-alden. Once again thank you for your kind words.

I looked up Ecoline liquid watercolours and I believe they are mainly used by graphic artists and designers owing to their vibrancy and consistency. Hence the vibrant gallery. I particularly like the pears and jugs.

You can also have a look at my blog spot where I explain how to use them... http://ecolineliquidwatercolours.blogspot.com/2012/04/ecoline-liquid-watercolours-project-one.html

And also this one using a combination of watercolours and pen http://ecolineliquidwatercolours.blogspot.com/2012/05/portraits-in-watercolour.html

This is my favourite but you cartainly have a very nice style.

Lovely Anemonies in jug, lovely work Doranne
