Open evening Tuesday 26th September 7-9pm
I love the way watercolour works and the luminous effect you can get. I often add other elements, such as texture mediums, collage and salt and seeing how this changes things. I also love to add a decorative element to my paintings, especially when using inks. I use my sketchbooks and watercolour studies as reference material and inspiration for my work. I constantly sketch and paint in my garden, and always take sketchbooks with me when out and about.
