" Gingers " and they will in future be here instead of my other blog which I,m closing. Thanks to all who have looked at that blog in the past,and I will do some more...honest!.

A watercolour sketch on ledger paper

I read that some Urban sketchers favour old ie more than 10years old accounting ledger paper because of the quality of the paper.Well, yes the paper is good to sketch on,but as soon as it gets a sniff of water it buckles. Worth the try though.

Here,s another one

Water colour on Aguarelle paper 24 x 32 cm using Schmincke watercolours. I preference these over Windsor and Newton the colours are more vibrant I think. The Lightning not as easy as I thought it would be leaving it plain white by masking the area didn't have much impact,so I used white Gouash and softened the outlines. Might be back to the drawing board with this one.

Minnie for my God son

Watercolour a copy of a Disney image. I know it's copyright but hey ............

I took a photograph of this when on holiday in Spain and have painted it several times,but wasnt happy with it, so I took a different tack and made the hulls more vivid and interesting.It,s a watercolour and is 8" x 12".
