Lincoln Part 2 – Castles, Cathedrals and Railways

Reading Time: 2 minutes I got to searching last night for a bit of guidance on painting dark value images in watercolour, and stumbled upon this website. Wandering away from my initial search there are a lot of paintings in a very impressionist style – very much against fussing, …
One Colour a Day – Week 9
Reading Time: < 1 minutes A week of cooking and dining! Pancake day, followed by Valentine’s Day (and a slightly groggy morning from curry and wine), then going out drinking for a rare occurance. We made Vermont Baked Beans and Carlin Pea Casserole.
