On Monday evening I gave a demonstration which was all about the spontaneity of watercolour painting at The Hurlingham Club, London.
I laid out four large sheets of watercolour paper – two of which I had prepared with a cadmium orange ground.
The demonstration was completed within twenty minutes…..
I used flowers as my jumping off point….allowing the brush to dance across the paper.
When working off the ground, I added some gouache to the mix…..
A magical hummingbird for the weekend…..

Good morning dear Jude….I do hope we are together again soon, and yes have much more time to paint. Thank you so much for taking the time to look for Celia’s info….she’s on my FB somewhere, but not sure what to look under! Good idea about the blog, will do that this week…meanwhile, will write more to you later re David’s memorial service, which was wonderful. Sending love and hoping you are now settling in back home…Janet. xx
Oh my, that brush of yours certainly did dance, and in only twenty minutes. Beautiful, I do love sweet peas!xxx
Thank you, Dinah….it was one of those moments, when everything flowed – which is good considering I had a large audience:)xxx
