A welsh lane in April by Jem Bowden

Your consistently excellent watercolours are a joy. They are so full of movement and atmosphere, especially your beach scenes.

Absolutely beautiful.

I agree with Gudrun, all your watercolours are of a very high standard. This one is bright and luminous, just as watercolours should be. Hope you continue to share your work with us, perhaps a little of the magic will rub off!

Love your loose atmospheric, fresh style of watercolour painting.

Such skill Jem. I don't suppose you're working on a book at all? I for one would love to know how you plan and build your paintings; composition and palette etc.

Thank you all - It's very nice to be appreciated! (I'd like to add that 9 out of 10 of my watercolours are failures; these are the ones that turned out ok.)

I like your colours and bold contrasts Jem. Reassuring to hear others have abundant failures too!

I'm running out of good things to say about your work so it looks like another case of repeating myself. Wonderful painting. I just love the crispness of your work.
