What I'm working on (Patreon)

Hi everyone,

I hope you're well and keeping busy. I thought I'd pop in to let you know what I'm up to.

Today I've been working on this Budgerigar. I am working on a piece of Langton watercolour board by Daler Rowney. It doesn't need stretching. It's the first time I've used it. It's a bit different to working on Arches and Fabriano paper. The paint doesn't sink down deep into the layers and I have struggled with it in a few places. I'll let you know what I think of it when I'm finished. I'm videoing this painting so I hope it turns out ok and I can make a tutorial for you.

I am currently working on the Lotus (water lily), Kookaburra on the post and a beginner tutorial with some tree trunks painted negatively. I also have footage of 2 cats and an English Robin ready for me to start editing. My son edited the Lotus and Kookaburra footage for me so they are ready for me to voice over. The voice over takes the longest to do. An hour long tutorial usually takes me an entire day. Then I spend the next day checking it all and 're-voicing' over the bits I don't like. 

Yesterday I took three paintings down to the framer to be framed. I want to enter them into a local art competition here where I live so I'll show you some photos of them when I get them back. 

I love seeing what you are working on in the Facebook group. You are all so talented and creative. Stay safe and have fun! 👩🏼‍🎨
