Identifying Tonal Value

A tonal sketch demonstrated in the Teignmouth class this morning.  Using one colour (monochrome) is such a fabulous way to identify tonal values in a composition.  We didn't have enough time to complete the image but will return to it next time.

Mullion Cove

Loved the colours in the sea.

Had such a wonderful time at Otter Vale Art Society on Friday evening where I gave a demonstration. Met great people who made me very welcome. Thank you to you all :)

Painting Holiday, Mullion Cove Hotel

It will soon be time to pack my brushes, paints, paper and easel for a glorious week of teaching watercolour painting in Cornwall.  The Mullion Cove Hotel is a superb venue for the painting holiday with its purpose built studio and a wide range of amazing locations to paint just a short distance away, what could be better?

There are a few places still available - why not treat yourself and join me?
