In South Shields theres a whole stretch of parks. As the weather was typically British: grey, overcast, probably going to rain, we took shelter in the park under a handy canopy we found. After much deliberation we settled now what we were going to paint. naturally after we had started applying paint to board the […]
I’ve had a couple of snow days…. and spent them being sick. So now I’m using my time figuring out how to make the right kind of greys (that I didn’t need last Sunday….) A long time ago in CassArt, when you had to go down to London because they didn’t ship, I bought myself […]
I buddied up with Sue and went painting to the coast. It was a glorious day. Sunshine! Blue skies and seas and such a clear day the horizon line was such a bright blue instead of a haze. I started two paintings, but both weren’t finished as the light changed so much,with the sun going […]

Because of In Liquid Color I have just panic bought 5 tubes of Quinacridone Gold (PO 49). According to In Liquid Color, Daniel Smith bought up all the PO 49 when the pigment went out of production. (People dont want quidacridone gold cars any more) and they’ve just announced their last batch. I previously had the SAA’s […]
I’ve just been away to London for three days and I took some sketching implements with me. As a follower of Liz Steel, Teoh Yi Chie and Path Southern Pierce (warning, you’ll walk away with a new foundation pen and a portable palette) I gathered up my materials and decided i would make use of the train ride down to […]
