I was watercolouring recently in the Oxmarket Contemporary in Chichester. Finished this one. I also had my sketchbooks in the gallery, great to show them, then sharing creative directions and swapping techniques with other artists. #oxmarketcontemporary #watercolour #livepainting

Bosham Calm. I was painting this plein air in watercolour but I couldn’t get the light. This is 30 minutes in with Golden Open acrylic and I love it. The letterbox canvas size just makes me think of my moleskine. #acrylic #bosham #royalsocietyofmarineartists #goldenhour

Yes I agree. There is no rush as it really does have to dry.

Five hundred English plus shipping

Mark Buck RSMA @markbuckrsma.bsky.social · 24/06/2025
Shipping is only an issue until it dries, this would take a month, then it can be rolled and shipped in a plastic tube, no probs.

I already know how to do that. I just need work that doesn’t need glazing.
