Had a trip to Chester Zoo. Found some plants and look who I spotted.
I have a table at the Grand Christmas Fayre. This takes place at Hulme Hall, Port Sunlight Village, Bolton Road, Wirral CH6 5DH. On 26th November 2023 from 10.30am to 3pm.
Come along and enjoy the lovely Christmassy atmosphere, look out for bargains, and I'll have lots of cards and prints for sale.
Ladybirds are the centre of attention in this painting, crawling over a prickly plant. The silvery web adds extra interest. This is a watercolour and gouache painting on paper.
This is one of three paintings available to purchase at the Mall Galleries online website.
The exhibition is open on 30th March until 8th April.
I am really looking forward to attending this exhibition, it is always so varied with many subjects covered, and different mediums.
This week I launched a new book called Watercolour Secrets: Coastal Plants. It's the second in a series of books covering the techniques I use for my particular brand of botanical art.
I guide you through step-by-step demonstrations on painting coastal plants in watercolour, which include Sea Holly, Gorse, Scentless Mayweed, Saltmarsh Goosefoot, Common Evening Primrose, Sea Aster, Bittersweet and many more.
Scattered throughout this illustrated full colour book are tips and secrets to help you on your way.
Coastal Plants is available for purchase on Amazon
