Lovely Shirley. I like the colours here.

Thank you, Kal. Harder work than water colour, I think.

Lovely rich colours and interesting objects. Looks very different from your watercolour work, but then I suppose that is the variation between the mediums - each has its own merits. I like the depth of colour and richness you have achieved here and am supposing that is the acrylics?

Hi Thea, yes the acrylics give a density and power, but I find them much harder to manipulate successfully. I am keeping on!

Just trying to get going in acrylics. Afternoon at a Hove Meetup Painting group nearby.

About the Artist
Shirley May

Always loved drawing and painting. Studied biology at UEA, PGCE at Sussex, then part-time art studies at Sussex and Brighton, including printmaking. Before Covid I gave a little weekly watercolour class for 7 years. Now I am using acrylics on canvas and paper en plein air whenever possible.
