Watercolour musings
I’ve been “sketching” with watercolours today. I pulled out my little field kit and BIG brush (my tiny 20/0 brushes were given a rest today) and laid down some wet, wet washes on unstretched paper. No planning or pre-drawing, just paint splashed straight down.
The only restriction was that the dimensions were under 10cmx10cm - Australian rules for miniature art. Painting done with 4 colours, then finished off with ink. A very loose style which I’m quite unfamiliar with, but which I found very enjoyable.
Digging through some old artwork I found another piece that I’d forgotten about.
This was from a Botanical Painting Weekend workshop through Uni Summer School - fabulous company and so, so inspiring. Maybe it’s time to get those teeny tiny brushes out again tomorrow!

Nice work Cindy,
I like the bottom one, it’s uniquely Aussie.
Lovely artwork Cindy. Are you going to do Friday illustration again?
Hi everyone,
Thanks for your lovely comments.
I’m trying to get into a routine and rhythm again, which I’m finding particularly difficult. I’ll get there eventually!
Lovley landscape and still life. They are so beautifully composed and rendered.
