Playing around!

This really is lovely, Stephen. It seems 'simple' but it is not! Love the light on the water. Beautiful composition.

Really like this. A favourite painting I did was a 'messing about' & done very quickly!

A stunning result, Stephen. You've captured the light beautifully and I love that stormy atmosphere and palette.

This has got a very soothing atmosphere Stephen, although it looks as though there may be a storm approaching!

Excellent Stephen. You are doing great.

Many thanks Marjorie, Fiona and Christopher. When I 'play' with something like this, I find it takes all the pressure off of painting a 'proper' picture and I think I learn something along the way.

I'm supposed to be doing a workshop at the art group for members fairly new to watercolour. So I played about with some washes and ended up with this!

About the Artist

Stephen Slater

I am a self taught amateur painter, I mostly paint landscapes in watercolour but I 'dabble' in other mediums from time to time. I really enjoy my art, especially painting outdoors when the weather allows.
