What I'm working on this week. (Patreon)

Hi everyone,

I'm just popping in to say happy Monday and I hope you have a fabulous week. On my painting desk at the moment is a Zebra. There's lots of glazing on this painting and steady brushwork. I'm painting this one on Arches hot pressed paper that I've stretched. I've got the shadows in and the mane washed in and now I'm starting on the stripes.

I am also reacquainting myself with painting on Ampersand's Aquaboard. I started a flower painting the other day. It's been a few years since I've painted on it and I thought I should practice on it a bit more before I do a tutorial. It's quite a bit different to painting on paper because the surface doesn't absorb paint the way paper does and I've got to adjust the way I paint. So when I get the feel for it again I plan on making a tutorial using it.

I also bought some Crescent watercolour boards because Arches aren't making it anymore. They have arrived so I'm looking forward to trying it out. 

Ok, time for some lunch now.
