What a lovely painting Val, super watercolour.

That's really well painted Val, great perspective and the lamp you've placed in front doesn't distract at all from the rest of the work, 😀

What a cracker Val, love the composition and the juicy darks.

Excellent watercolor Val. I like your description "unrestricted by formal teaching." You've got that right! Most self-taught and leisure painters are like that, at least, I'm.

Super painting, Val. I reckon the people would have made a beautiful scene too busy, it's lovely as it is.

What a lovely painting Val! Beautiful colours, fantastic light and a super composition. One of my favourite towns too.

Watercolour. I don't normally paint buildings but a photograph taken by a friend of mine inspired to attempt this. Unfortunately I wasn't brave enough to include the crowds of people in the scene as well. Thanks for looking.

About the Artist

Val Kenyon

I am a self taught artist or, as I like to say, I'm "unrestricted by formal teaching" which probably explains my mish mash of styles. I paint in most media, watercolour, gouache, oil, coloured pencil and my favourite, soft pastels. I'm inspired by the Scottish landscape, nature and animals and…
