Another short reel of a recent still life that was one of my favorites. Probably my favorite way to paint. #watercolor #loosewatercolor

Thank you. It was a wondeful subject to paint. I've attached my original smaller piece that was painted plein air. I thought the building deserved a bigger treatment.

A short demo of my most recent painting of this fabulous building in Weston MA. A bit larger for me - 15"x21". #watercolor #watercolorbuildings #watercolorlandscape #landscape #watercolordemo #westonma #campioncenter

Not a triumph today but I learned I need to rethink what I'm doing here. #beachpainting #beachart #capecodpaintings

Never been here before and it’s an amazing place. The Campion Center in Weston MA. Extremely windy so this is one hand on the brush and the other holding everything down #pleinair #campioncenter #watercolorlandscape #watercolorpleinair #westonma

Another day and yet another plein air location. Today was the Case House in Weston. Quite a busy subject so trimmed it down to the essentials. This isn't finished yet but the colors and shapes are in and I'm cautiously optimistic #pleinair #westonma #casehouseweston

Gussied around with composition a little bit on yesterday’s plein air. Has promise now I think #watercolorpleinair #pleinair

Crazy difficult this. This time I tried a sketchbook and sketch easel with pan paints. I thought it would be easier having a smaller setup. It wasn't. Hated it. Made it twice as hard. Loved the subject though the result was very so so. #watercolorpleinair #pleinair #trombettas

Another plein air. This time at the Wayside Inn in Sudbury. Quite pleased with this and has a nice sense of the day #pleinair #waysideinn #watercolorlandscape #watercolorbuildings #sudburyma

Broke out the gouache on this one. Definitely brings out the light on that front tree. Probably putting the brushes down now #watercolorcityscape #concordma #newenglandwatercolor #watercolorlandscape #watercolorchuch

Last plein air session of the spring with Caleb Stone. Right in the center of Concord today in Monument Square. Trying hard to fix the light and leave it. #pleinair #watercolor #watercolorpainting #concordma #watercolorcityscape #watercolorlandscape

Studio piece based on a plein air at Codman Farm Estate in Lincoln MA. Big struggle this but finally got somewhere I think #watercolor #pleinair #painting #lincolnma #codmanfarm

Simple still life photo day today. Still using the led lights - just can’t get the shadows with the natural light. grrr. #stilllife #stilllifesetup #watercolor #oilpainting #watercolorstilllife #oilstilllife

Another plein air in Concord. This the visitor center at the Old North Bridge. Too windy for the bridge itself. As it was the easel was almost taking off #watercolor #watercolorlandscape #landscapepainting #concordma #oldnorthbridge #pleinair

Today was a private lesson day and this was my demo version. A little stilted as all demo pieces tend to be due to breaking things down. But a nice informal arrangement #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorflowers #art #floralart #pansies #pansypainting #flowerpainting #chromamagic

A day of Plein air painting with Caleb stone and Concord Art. Boy it’s intense but the best painting experience. This is at Gerow Park near Concord MA #watercolor #calebstone #concordma #cobcordartma #pleinaur

We bought a new cat bed for the studio as one cat always sleeps on the floor and one on the chair. This is the result.

What I will do to avoid painting - part 37. I have a load of spheres and cubes that I use for painting practice. They've been rolling around in a cardboard box for years. Finally got round to putting them in racks and made some foam cosies to stop them rattling. Very satisfying. #painting

Rachel again today in portrait class. Good to have a second shot at someone. It was touch and go half way through but just about pulled it off. #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorportrait #portraitpainting

Ok. So reviewing yesterday's efforts much more work needed on the old drawing skills. Today - a quick #chromamagic demo on how much you can achieve with only a few colors and shapes and no fancy brushwork. #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorflowers #floralart #art

Tried a watercolor version of last week’s model. A little rusty but not too shabby I think #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorportrait

Fabulous time at Post Road Art Center's portrait class yesterday. So much more enjoyable than photos. Tough though. This was the best of the bunch. #portraitclass #portraits #contecrayon #postroadartcenter #drawing #lifedrawing #lifeclass

Doing all the drawings is making me break free a little in my painting sessions. Here I'm doing a big no-no - painting into the paint when almost dry to leave blossoms and marks. I'm liking the effect. #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorportrait #watercolortechniques

Hoo boy! Onto the Sargents and a very different way of drawing. Will take some time to get into these. Viscountess Astor. #dailysketch #mastersketch #portraitsketch

Yesterday was a reference generation day photographing some simple flowers ready for lessons in modelling form. Tried a quick, loose, yellow carnation at the end with only two colors for the bloom. A nice effect I think. #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorflowers #carnationpainting

The final Holbein (that I have). And a fine one to end on - Willima Warham, Archbishop of Canterbury. Nice to draw someone with some miles on the clock. #portraitsketch #mastersketch #sketchcopy

Frances, Countess of Surrey 1517-1577. Holbein sketch copy. Proportions very hard in this as there's so little form. #mastersketch #portraitsketch #dailysketch

Back to the beards. Holbein once more. Starting to get those nuances of likeness more reliably. #mastersketch #dailysketch #portraitsketch
