A quick update- what I'm working on. (Patreon)

Hi everyone,

I hope you've had an enjoyable and relaxing weekend. Dom and I spent Saturday morning  mowing. It's the first time we've had to mow this summer. Normally we have to mow every weekend but because we've had very little rain, the grass hasn't been growing. We got some rain two weekends ago though and it's greened up and had a growth spurt. We mow about 6 or 7 acres. I get on the ride-on mower while Dom drives the tractor and slasher.

Today I'm finishing the voice over for the Wallaby tutorial. I'll check it all and have it ready to upload this week.

I've also been putting together a tutorial for beginners where I demonstrate a fundamental technique that you need to learn when you first start painting in watercolour - the dreaded 'flat wash'. I've painted some examples of how to do it and also how not to do it 🥴.

I also plan to film a 'graded wash' tutorial and a 'variegated wash' tutorial too. These are basic techniques that you should practice over and over when you are learning to paint in watercolour. 

Dom is still going with the outdoor house painting! 

Look at that sky! I hope there's some rain in it.

Ok it's time for lunch now. I need to call that old man in off the roof. After lunch I'm going to order some flat brushes and some masking fluid. I don't have very many flat brushes because I don't use them much but I want to start practicing some landscapes so I can do some tutorials for you.

E njoy the rest of your weekend.

Louise
