Well travelled pebbles in watercolour


I had hoped to be able to share the next round of collagraph prints but I am in between stages waiting for ink to dry still. Unable to continue with them I have returned to watercolour and whilst the medium dictates a completely different result from the prints the theme is the same.

Replicating some of the marks and textures that I had made in the prints with watercolour and a little gouache has made some interesting areas. I also used more granulating pigments in the mixes especially the new love of my life Daniel Smith's Sodolite Genuine. I can see I will be getting through the tube rather quickly.

  3. While waiting for ink to dry, you create more beautiful paintings! I so love all the Daniel Smith granulating pigments and have a lot of my own favorites but he's always coming out with more :) Lovely watercolors and so peaceful and calming - I could see these in any little meditation nook, in a bathroom, or bedroom, or room overlooking the sea. I have a feeling these are going to be very good sellers :)

  4. Hi Carol, Caroline, Judy and Maywyn thank you it felt good to stretch my watercolour muscles again.

    Hi Rhonda, thank you too. I didn't know more colours are added to the range I will have to keep a look out. I've only become aware of them in the last couple of years and absolutely adore them. Thank you for the heads up.
