From My Camera Roll (Patreon)

Hi everyone, I hope you've had a good week. I've enjoyed so many lovely experiences this week, all while watching Roland Garros on tv as I paint so it couldnt get much better!

Origami Cards

I had a great time making this origami card for a friend's birthday over the weekend. Let me know in the comments if you would like to have a go at something like this?

The little fan that could

Air conditioning is not common in the UK so when a heatwave comes we all dig out our various fans. I have this tiny thing on my desk, it's doing a sterling job!

Howling with Wolves

It's a well known fact that Ant and I love Wolves. We are still to see one in the wild (one day!) but Port Lympne in Kent is the next best thing. We stayed over night in the wolf enclosure and came nose to nose (through thick glass) with three beautiful Eurasian Wolves. It's always a wonder when we get to spend time with them.

Create a Buzz on Youtube

On Tuesday I have a simple bee painting tutorial so you can add life to your existing flower paintings. Putting some buzzing bees amongst the blooms can really transform a rather still flower painting.

Patreon Meadowlark and Nightingale

Although they live in very different climates we're bringing together two songbirds for a lovely singalong. This watercolour challenge goes over three sessions, the first is this week.

The cottage gardens of Chelsea

You requested lupins and foxgloves and I was happy to oblige. I saw so many gorgeous arrangements at Chelsea like this it felt the perfect time for this tutorial on Yotube on Thursday.
