Reading Time: < 1 minutes There’s been some weather inspired colours creeping out this week. The spring sun, and sunsets, misty days and a cold. Also, a few new colours. After having had to purchase new laptops and spending about £26 Million in Lincoln, I feel skint. So only 3 …
Reading Time: < 1 minutes Slightly uninspired this week. I’ve played, except for a couple of food colours, with randoms from the paint pot… Some have some more inspiring names though…
Reading Time: < 1 minutes We went to Lincoln this weekend, so the week was quite oriented to that. VArious of the colours are quite random, though the end of the week is inspired by Cross Country Trains, Lincoln, and the blue hour (from when I photographed more trains at …
Reading Time: < 1 minutes Slightly inspired by cooking and Skies this week. We made duck, and my partner didn’t get hers as all the children decided to have it, then didn’t eat it. I ordered Barnsley Chops in the Beck and Call, which were far rarer than asked for. …

Reading Time: < 1 minutes The forgotton week. I didn’t really keep up with this week. Hence a few pallete remnants really.
Reading Time: 3 minutes After poppy that crept into my One Colour a Day book the other week I went off on a bit of a crazy exploration of wet on wet flowers over the last few days. This was very much an extensive exploration into how the paint …
Reading Time: 2 minutes After the watercolour country lane tutorials I completed the other day I was inspired by the colours to work from some picture I took in Shipley Glen some years ago. I also wanted to play with the square format some more. Often the challenge in …
